How to Afford Dental Implants
Dental implants are costly, but there are strategies that can help you afford them
If you are missing a tooth, you should be pretty eager to get it replaced. After all, even if the gap doesn’t show when you smile, it could be causing ongoing problems that will eventually affect your appearance.
For example, neighboring teeth could shift into the gap, leading to an awkward bite and perhaps even making other teeth look gapped or crooked. Another problem is that you will have ongoing bone loss in your jaw in the place where the tooth once was. If you do not address this bone loss, it could eventually destabilize neighboring teeth. Once you lose enough teeth, you’ll start to develop a hollow or sunken look that will make you look old and unattractive.
Dental implants can solve all these problems by replacing the tooth structure above and below the gum line. This prevents teeth from moving, and, because the titanium implant peg will actually bond with the bone tissue, also prevents bone loss.
How to Afford Dental Implants
…dental implants can be expensive.
Even if you need just one dental implant, you could be looking at a bill anywhere between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on the number and complexity of procedures required for a successful implant placement.

Top 3 Strategies for Affording Dental Implants
Special Offers: Dentists sometimes run special offers that can deliver significant savings on your implant procedure. For example, at California Dental Group we have a special this month that includes a free CT scan (needed to guide proper implant placement) and a free bone graft (may be needed to provide a strong foundation for the implant) for $1,000 in savings off the cost of getting one implant.
Savvy Billing: Although most dental insurance plans do not cover dental implants, there may be ways to use your coverage to pay for certain portions of the procedure. Our expert care coordinators will help you scour your insurance coverage for opportunities.
Financing: Rather than paying the entire cost of the implants out of pocket, you can take advantage of various financing options to get the cost down to an affordable monthly payment. We have several different types of financing for you to consider.
