In previous blogs I have shown clinical cases and have given Dental Implants Prices but not all in one place. Let me try to simplify this. In this picture one can see the individual components if a person wants a single tooth repalaced with a Dental Implant. The three things shown are 1) the dental implant itself 2) a standard straight abutment 3) a crown for the Dental Implant. Now I will try to explain my dental implants prices (as of now December 2010). The cost for the dental implant and its placement is $1597. For a standard straight abutment I do not charge an additional fee, but custom abutments or precision attachments run between $283 and $768. The last and very important part is the tooth or crown. For most Dental Implants the price I charge for the crown is $1058, but may be higher in specific circumstances. For more information see www.DentalImplantsCost.us

Dental Implant, Abutment, Crown

Healed Dental Implant

A dental implant supported tooth was chosen as the best option in this situation of a missing lower right molar. Here, the answer to Dental Implants Prices IS straight foward. The cost of this dental implant was $1597. After healing, a standard straight abutment was placed at no addional charge to this patient. The dental implant crown can now be fabricated at the dental laboratory and delivered to my Tampa area dentist office.

Dental Implant Standard Abutment and Crown

After a dental implant has healed properly (osseointegrated), the definitive restoration, in this case a dental implant crown ($1058) was fabricated. Note this is a standard straight abutment on the implant. This shows how my dentist office in Palm Harbor FL, (Tampa Bay area) receives the crown and model work from the dental laboratory. I am trying to honestly answer questions about Dental Implants Prices. It is very rare that the only cost associated with “Dental Implants Prices” is the cost of the dental implant.

In the following blogs I try to outline the steps and give true and accurate dental implants prices.  For more complete information on “Dental Implants Prices” see www.DentalImplantsCost.us

In some cases custom dental implant abutments ($715) and custom dental implant crowns ($1133) are chosen as a final result in challenging situations. Note the pink porcelain to compensate for the extensive hard and soft tissue defects as the result of the childhood trauma.

Custom Dental Implant Abutment and Crowns

Healed Dental Implant 9-23-2010

This young man’s smile was completed in my Tampa Bay area dentist office on November 12, 2010. To complete this very challenging dental implant reconstruction, a custom abutment ($715) and a very specialized dental implant crown ($1133) were fabricated. Note the pink porcelain to compensate for the extreme loss of hard and soft tissue as the result of childhood trauma. From these cases, it should become clear that it is difficult to answer the question, “How much do dental implants cost?’ with a simple answer to “What are the Average Dental Implant Prices in the Tampa Bay area dentist office?”
