Well to answer the first question, dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. So basically, if you are missing a tooth, dental implants act as foundation to artificial teeth to replace the ones that are missing.
Now to address the second question, I wish I could tell you exactly how much you are going to spend if you want dental implants so you can start saving up for it and allocating a budget but there is really no fixed or definite amount as to its cost. Why? The reason why I really cannot give you the actual digits as to how much it would really cost is simply because there is no fixed cost. No two persons or no two customized dental implant procedure are exactly the same, so the treatment itself, the post dentist appointments and the actual dental implants vary depending on the person. So unlike temporary or removable dentures and other tooth replacement methods, dental implants are tailored specifically to a person’s needs and that is why nothing is more natural that a dental implant. So if we go ahead and break it down, because dental implants are basically almost permanent and they provide long term results, if you go ahead and compare the costs of both dental implants and other tooth replacement options, one might think that the latter is cheaper. Yes of course, temporary tooth replacement options may appear cheaper but one should also consider how long these can be of service and how much money it would actually cost you to maintain them. Whereas if you opt to get dental implants, you need a huge amount of money on a lump sum but the results will last you almost a lifetime if you take care of it diligently.
If you want a rough estimation of the cost, it is probably going to cost you around the price range of $3000 to $4500 according to The New York Times. What you really need to focus on and research more about is where you will get dental implants. You will need an experienced and accredited dentist to execute the procedure to ensure the quality of the implants. provides you the most experienced specialists and top notch tools and processes to give you your money’s worth.
