Dental implants are a method of dental restoration that can overcome problems such as jaw bone loss, which leads to premature aging that other methods cannot do. So how much does a dental implant cost? Let’s find out with BIK International Dental Clinic!
1. Implant tooth structure
The structure of an Implant tooth usually consists of 3 main parts:
1.1. Implant pillar
The Implant pillar has a structure similar to the shape of the tooth root with a cylindrical shape. The surface of the pillar will be spirals in the same direction, processed with different modern surface treatment technologies depending on each manufacturer. Thanks to this special structure, the pillar can integrate firmly with the jaw bone, acting as a real tooth root, thereby preventing the process of jaw bone loss caused by tooth loss.
In addition, because it is made from high-quality Titanium material, the Implant pillar is completely rust-free, corrosion-free or oxidized in the oral environment and can last up to 25 years.
1.2. Abutment Joint
Abutment is a cylindrical joint with 2 ends. The upper end fits tightly to the mouth of the porcelain crown, the other end is the connector to firmly attach to the mouth of the Implant pillar. The Abutment will be fixed to the Implant pillar when the bone integration process has been successful, acting as a support for the porcelain crown above.
1.3. Porcelain crown
The porcelain crown will be fixed on the Abutment joint. Porcelain teeth are often the same size, color and function as real teeth. The material used to make porcelain teeth can be 100% porcelain, or the core is made of metal and covered by a thin layer of porcelain on the outside. Depending on the type, there will be different advantages and disadvantages suitable for the cost that the customer is willing to pay.
2. How much does an implant cost?
The cost of one implant tooth depends on 3 main parts: Implant pillar, Abutment and porcelain crown, so the total cost of 1 implant tooth is calculated as follows:
The cost of 1 implant tooth = Implant pillar price + Abutment price + Porcelain crown price + Other costs (if any)
In which, the price of 1 implant pillar ranges from 13,000,000 – 55,000,000 VND/1 pillar; Abutment joints cost from 7,500,000 – 12,000,000 VND/Abutment and Porcelain crowns cost from 1,500,000 – 12,000,000 VND/tooth.
So, the total cost of implanting 1 tooth ranges from 22,000,000 – 79,000,000 VND/tooth.
In case the jawbone is not qualified for implantation, sinus lift or bone grafting will be required, which will incur additional costs.
3. Factors affecting the price of dental implants
The price of dental implants is often affected by the following factors:
3.1. Type of Implant
Each type of Implant has a different origin and will be applied with different technologies during the production process. This brings its own advantages and characteristics, so the price will vary quite a bit.
3.2. Porcelain crowns
Each type of porcelain crown will have different characteristics in terms of structure and especially aesthetics. The higher the price, the higher the aesthetic value and longevity of the porcelain tooth. Some types of all-ceramic teeth have the same color as real teeth, so it is difficult to distinguish which is porcelain teeth if only looking with the naked eye.
3.3. Oral health
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of dental implants, other oral diseases such as periodontitis, tooth decay, etc. must be completely treated to avoid the risk of infection. Not only that, if the jawbone is severely resorbed and is not of sufficient quality for implant placement, additional costs will arise for bone grafting and sinus lift.
3.4. Dental facility
If you choose a reputable dental clinic, equipped with modern technology and experienced doctors with high expertise, the cost will be higher, but in return, customers will feel more secure and comfortable during the process of using dental services.
4. Why is the price of dental implants so high?
The cost of dental implants is quite high due to the following factors:
4.1. Titanium material
Implant posts are made of anti-rust, anti-corrosion pure Titanium material, completely compatible with the body. In addition, due to having to be imported directly from abroad, the cost of Implant posts at dental facilities is relatively high
4.2. Requires modern machinery and technology
Implant dentistry is a relatively complicated technique, not only requiring high skills from doctors but also requiring the support of machinery and technology throughout the treatment process. Some equipment that can be mentioned are: Implant surgery machine, tray printer, surgical guide machine, high-tech CT scanner, …
4.3. Long-term use time
The warranty period as well as the lifespan of Implant teeth is relatively high, up to 25 years and even a lifetime if properly cared for. Therefore, the price paid for a quality Implant pillar is considered completely reasonable.
