Dental implants are titanium fixtures which are surgically screwed into the jawbone. Implants act as an anchor for natural-looking false teeth. A dental crown is attached on top of the implant. Implants can be used to replace missing teeth, provided there is sufficient bone in the area for the implant to be attached to. Implants can also be used to replace bridges and removeable partial dentures.
Dental implants are useful in replacing one or even all of your teeth. They are also a welcome alternative to dental bridges or partial dentures. A dental implant will last a lifetime, but the attached crown lasts ten to fifteen years.
The labor and material involved in dental implants is very expensive. The typical cost of dental implants is $1200 to $3000 for a single implant. The cost is dependent upon the conditions of the mouth, and a complete set of teeth can run $15,000 to $30,000.
