How to Choose the Right Implant Dentist in Kellyville Ridge

According to the Australian Dental Association, 16% of the adult population is missing more than just one tooth.

Unfortunately, even one missing tooth can take a heavy toll on your work and social lives, while at the same time harming the health of the jaw, gums, and other teeth.

If you are missing a tooth, you may have decided to repair the situation, and you might have done some research on possible replacements.

And for many with missing teeth, dental implants are good and permanent, alternatives to dentures or bridges.

However, if you’ve looked into dental implants, you might also have thought that they seem a bit expensive and wondered who would be best to handle your implants and if the cost was the only thing to take into account.

At Dental Cube Kellyville Ridge, we’d like to walk you through a couple of things that may help you decide on whether they are the right treatment for you, and how to find the best ‘deal’.

How to Choose the Right Implant Dentist in Kellyville Ridge

Shopping around is never a bad idea, but at the same time, we don’t recommend that you only consider the price.

Talk to several dental offices, so you have an idea of what is offered in your area. Begin with a list of things you want to discuss. Here are some ideas:

• Experience: How many years a dentist has performed implant surgery can help you determine how experienced and skilled they are.
• Comfort: Receiving implants takes time. Be sure that your dental office and surgery give you the confidence that you will be as safe and comfortable as possible.
• Training: Explore the training your general dentist or specialist has taken. It is always best to select a dentist who stays up to date through training and education.
• Price: If you have dental insurance that covers implants, choose a dentist who participates in your insurance plan to keep costs down. Going for the lowest price, however, can be dangerous, as low-priced implants can be from dentists who are more interested in volume than quality.
• Ask around: Word of mouth is often a useful tool, as trusted friends and family members may have had experiences relevant to you. The Internet is another excellent place to do your research.

At Dental Cube Kellyville Ridge, we are confident that your search will lead you to us for your dental implants!

What about the cost?

Every case is different, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $1,000 to $3,000 for one implant. Then you must add the price of the abutment and crown (and bone grafting if needed). This means it is vital that you select a dentist who includes ALL costs in the initial estimate.

So, as an example, you might end up spending up to $2,000 for one implant installation; another $400 for the abutment; another $2,000 for the crown, bringing your total cost to $4,400. But if you need X-rays, extractions, bone grafts, and other extras, you should expect additional fees for those procedures.

On average, an Australian can expect to pay from $4,000 to $7,000 per implant.

Think of implants as savings, or an investment.

Dental implants can be a bargain

• They become cheaper after time. When patients without teeth look at dental implants, they often look only at the initial cost. But over time, implants last longer and require less upkeep than other replacements – no threaders, no special cleaning requirements, no threat of breaking, etc. When this is considered, the overall cost of an implant is more economical over time, when compared to other restoration options. And once in place, they need no additional treatment. With success rates of up to 98 per cent, they are highly durable.
• They protect the jawbone and gums. Missing teeth mean a deteriorating jawbone and gums. This can lead to the need for additional treatments for oral health complications.
• They last longer. Dentures last less than 10 years and bridges only a few years beyond a decade. They rarely need replacements.

Dental implants are not so much as a cost as an investment. Get yours today!
