Dental implants are a reliable method for replacing missing teeth, but there can be a lot to consider before starting treatment. You have to think about the invasiveness of the procedure, the healing period, and which method will best suit your needs. Many patients are drawn to mini dental implants for their minimally invasive approach, easier recovery process, and quick results. But one key question remains: what’s the cost of mini implants? At the Centre for Smile Designs in Gulfport, MS, Dr. Hopkins believes dental care should be effective and affordable. That is why he offers mini implants with various financing pathways, ensuring cost doesn’t become a barrier to your needed dental care.
What Can Affect the Cost of Mini Implants?
Traditional dental implants can be costly because of their multiple components, the complexity of the procedure, and the number of required appointments. Mini implants, on the other hand, are about half the width of traditional implants and consist of a single piece. Thanks to this streamlined design, Dr. Hopkins can often place mini implants in one appointment and secure a restoration the same day. These benefits make mini implants a more convenient and cost-effective choice when evaluating tooth replacement options.
There is no set price for mini implants, as the cost largely depends on your particular situation. Factors that affect the cost of a mini implant procedure are:
- The number of implants: The number of implants you need affects the overall treatment cost. For example, replacing an entire arch of teeth with an implant denture is more costly than replacing a single tooth with an implant-supported crown.
- The type of restoration and its material: Mini implants support crowns, bridges, and dentures. The price can vary depending on which restoration you need and what material you choose. Dentures are generally more expensive, and many of the best ones are made from a material called zirconia. While it’s more costly than other materials, it’s remarkably durable!
- Additional procedures: The price of your mini implant procedure may also increase if you need preparatory procedures. Sometimes, before Dr. Hopkins can place an implant, he must first treat gum disease or perform an extraction. While necessary to ensure optimal results, these extra treatments can add to the overall treatment costs.
At your free consultation, we will explain what you can expect from your treatment and provide a detailed cost breakdown. We’ll also discuss insurance and financing so that you can make an informed choice about your oral care.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Mini Implants?
Many insurance plans don’t currently cover dental implants, though this is changing as more providers recognize their restorative benefits. The best way to understand your coverage is to contact your insurance provider or speak with our experienced team at the Centre for Smile Designs. We’ll help you navigate your insurance policy to see if your plan includes implants and answer any questions along the way.
What Financing Options Are Available?
If your insurance plan doesn’t cover dental implants, Dr. Hopkins offers solutions to help you manage treatment costs. The Centre for Smile Designs offers multiple third-party financing options to make dental implants more affordable. These financing companies allow you to pay in monthly installments, with some rates starting as low as 0%! One of our financing options, CareCredit, is a major healthcare credit card that specifically finances services like dental care for you and your family. If you want to finance your treatment through CareCredit or another one of our financing partners, we can help you get started.
Another way we help make your dental care more affordable is with our in-house dental savings program for patients without dental insurance. We offer individual and family plans that cost less than a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and cleaning. This program helps defray general dentistry costs and provides significant discounts on more transformative dental procedures like mini implants.
Dr. Hopkins is dedicated to ensuring the best care and prices for his patients!
