Cost
There are two major costs involved with implant treatment:

  1. Surgical costs - which include the implant component costs and surgical placement by the implant surgeon and his team.
  2. Restorative costs - which include the final prosthesis(what is actually attached to the implant), associated component and laboratory costs together with the planning and any provisional restorations required.
Unfortunately implant treatment is considerably more costly than most previous dental treatment you will have received and undoubtedly this is one of the most important factors in deciding on which type of implant supported restoration to proceed with. There are many factors which dictate the need for individual quotations rather than selection from a price list:
  • No two dentitions are the same.
  • The number of implants needed can be different for similar restorative cases.
  • The final restorative requirements may be different for similar situations eg emphasis on appearance or function.
  • The final cost can be "tailored" to some extent depending on the desired final result e.g. fixed or removable
  • Additional work may be required to stabilise any remaining teeth prior to implant treatment.
As a result absolute costs cannot be quoted until a full diagnosis is established encompassing all the potential variables and combining them with the patients individual criteria. In this way we can present a complete treatment plan of all the available options and costs. In most instances however, it is possible to provide an estimation of cost at the initial consultation, prior to committing to any treatment or follow up appointments. The estimation is based on previously completed similar cases and used only to help in deciding whether to proceed to a full treatment plan or not.
