West Los Angeles Dental Implant Cost
Dental Implant Cost...
An implant is the ideal way to replace a missing tooth, and it has to be done with the proper technique and proper materials since you will be living with it for years to come.
We do not compromise on quality, and we still offer reasonable pricing so that patients are able to afford the best solution for their situation.
To fully replace a tooth, you will need at least an implant, an abutment, and a crown. The cost for the implant itself is $1,500 for each tooth, and later on the cost for the abutment and the crown is $1,500 for each tooth. So from start to finish, your total cost will be $3,000 per tooth.
If the tooth is not missing yet when you present to our office, it will have to be extracted first. At the same time as we remove the tooth, a bone augmentation will also be performed. This fills the void of the missing tooth with calcium particles, upon which your own bone can regrow and become a suitable site for the implant placement. The total cost of the extraction and bone augmentation is $1,000, which is in addition to the costs mentioned above.
For patients with PPO insurance, we are in-network with most companies, and sometimes your insurance plan will cover implants (but not always). Once you contact us we will get a breakdown of your dental benefits and we will be able to let you know ahead of time if and how much of the procedure will be covered by insurance.

Why Consider A Tooth Replacement...
I have many patients who wear bridges, removable dentures and partial dentures because they don’t feel they can afford implants.
I honestly believe that if my patients would analyze the long term cost and consider the convenience and durability of implants, they would choose implants over other 'luxuiries' they might have spent money on. Being able to properly chew food and have it enter the GI tract in the proper consistency is very important to our health and the long term viability of our bodies.
Very often in my experience, I find cases where it would have cost less in the long run to simply do it right the first time

How Much Is A Tooth Implant...
As detailed in the paragraph at the top of this page, if you are a good candidate for an implant at our office, and depending on whether you present to our office with a tooth already missing or not, the total cost from start to finish to replace each tooth is between $3,000 and $4,000 total per tooth.
In certain special cases, your specific condition will require that you are referred to a specialist for the implant placement instead of having the procedure done at our office. This will be revealed by a thorough examination, including x-rays and a CT scan. The extraction and bone grafting can still be done here, and the abutment and crown also can still be done here, at the costs mentioned above. The only difference will be the cost of the implant placement, and any additional procedures which might be needed (extensive bone reconstruction, sinus lift, etc.). These costs will be quoted to you by the specialist, either one of the specialists whom we refer to, or one of your own choosing.
