At Reedy Creek Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves a complete, healthy smile. Led by Dr. Emily Ann Reece, our practice provides high-quality dental implant solutions for patients missing one or multiple teeth. We understand that cost is an important factor in your decision-making process, which is why we’re committed to transparency about dental implant pricing.
Dental implants represent an investment in your long-term oral health and quality of life. While they may have a higher initial cost than other tooth replacement options, their durability and natural function often make them the most cost-effective solution over time.
What Affects the Cost of Dental Implants?
Several factors influence the final cost of your dental implant treatment at our Cary office. The number of implants needed plays a significant role – single tooth implants typically cost less than multiple implants or full-arch restorations, with complexity increasing as more teeth need replacement.
Preparatory procedures also impact the overall cost. Some patients require bone grafting if they’ve experienced bone loss in the jaw. Tooth extractions might be necessary before implant placement, and sinus lifts can be needed for upper jaw implants.
The materials and components contribute to the total investment. This includes the implant post (usually made of biocompatible titanium), the abutment (connecting piece), and the restoration (crown, bridge, or denture). At Reedy Creek Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we use quality materials to ensure durability and a natural appearance.
Treatment complexity varies based on your unique oral anatomy, the location of the missing tooth or teeth, and the need for specialized techniques. Dr. Reece uses advanced technology and modern techniques to ensure precise implant placement and optimal results, contributing to the overall value of your treatment.
Average Cost Range for Dental Implants
While every patient’s needs are unique, here’s a general overview of dental implant costs in the Cary, NC area:
A single tooth implant typically ranges from $3,000-$5,000, including the implant, abutment, and crown. Multiple implants vary in cost based on the number needed. Implant-supported bridges generally range from $5,000-$16,000 depending on span, while full-arch solutions can range from $20,000-$50,000 per arch.
During your consultation at Reedy Creek Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Reece will provide a detailed treatment plan with specific costs based on your individual needs.
What’s Included in Your Dental Implant Cost?
At our Cary practice, your dental implant treatment includes comprehensive consultation and treatment planning, detailed imaging (X-rays or CT scans), the dental implant post, the abutment connection, and a custom-crafted, natural-looking restoration. The price also covers placement surgery and follow-up care and adjustments. We believe in providing complete care rather than surprising you with additional fees during treatment.
Insurance and Payment Options for Dental Implants
Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for implants. Our experienced team will help maximize your benefits and explain your coverage. We’ll work directly with your insurance provider to determine your out-of-pocket costs.
We offer several payment solutions to make dental implants more accessible. These include CareCredit® and other third-party financing with low or no interest options, in-office payment plans, and acceptance of Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). We also accept all major credit cards. Our financial coordinator will discuss these options with you to find the solution that best fits your budget.
The Value of Choosing Dental Implants
When considering the cost of dental implants, it’s important to recognize their long-term benefits:
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate jawbone growth, preventing deterioration
- Natural Function: Eat, speak, and smile with confidence
- No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering healthy teeth
- Long-Term Value: While the initial investment is higher than alternatives, implants often prove more economical over time due to their longevity
