Dental Implants / September 2, 2016 by Dr. Brian McKay, DDS

Looking into how much dental implants cost and getting a straight answer can be frustrating. But there is a reason for that.

I’m Dr. Brian McKay. Thanks for stopping to read my blog. I know it can be frustrating to look for the cost of getting a dental implant procedure done and finding nothing solid here on the internet. Let me take a moment to explain why most dental websites don’t publish the cost of tooth implants.

1. The Math Might Come Out Higher Than it Should
The number of teeth being replaced may be more than the number of implants needed to cover that section of the mouth. Tooth implant dentists here in Seattle, WA, want to offer accurate pricing rather than scare you away with higher estimates. It takes a straightforward consultation to review dental history, assess needs and determine a treatment plan. This could mean a more efficient surgery with fewer implants.

2. There Might Be Something Better For Your Mouth
While dental implants really are the state of the art in tooth replacement, much better than a bridge or denture, sometimes the procedure won’t be what you thought it was going to be. If your heart is set on implants or if you’ve been told by others in Redmond, Bellevue, or Kirkland that’s what you should get, we can help to explain the pros and cons of this path.

3. Supply Costs and Lab Costs Change
A ballpark number might be possible to post on the internet but the changing cost of supplies and lab fees make it impossible to guarantee an exact price for full mouth dental implants. Dentists who offer implants can accurately calculate dental implant surgery costs based on current costs when you come in for a consultation.
