In Sterling, VA, dental implants are a popular way to replace a tooth that has been lost from tooth decay or trauma. Our periodontist is skilled with this procedure, but something that comes up during every consultation is the price. Implants tend to carry a higher price tag than other procedures upfront. However, it is important to be aware of the long-term cost of implants.

Implants Last a Lifetime

The reason why implants tend to be a little more expensive than other treatments is that they are more extensive to put in the jaw. The implant is a titanium post that is inserted into the jaw bone. An abutment is placed on top while the crown is attached to the abutment. It can take several months for the entire procedure to finish, but once you are done, the implant will likely last you for the rest of your life. This is a huge benefit over other treatments that tend to have a lifespan around 10 to 20 years. You may need to spend more over the years constantly getting new restorations when you could just stick with an implant.

Implants Better Preserve Oral Health

When many people look for a dental restoration, they focus on what will make the aesthetics of their smiles better. However, there is more to teeth than just making you look good. The roots of the teeth in the jaw bone preserve it, preventing the bone from being resorbed back into the body. Deteriorated bone in the jaw can make a face look sunken. Dental implants serve as an artificial tooth root, so they preserve the jaw bone. This keeps you looking great and prevents you from needing additional procedures in the future to restore your facial appearance.
