Implant Treatment Applied for Bright Smiles
One of the most frequently preferred dental applications in recent years is the implant. This treatment, which provides bright smiles and permanent results, consists of various stages. Implants are titanium screws used to fix replacement teeth in place of missing teeth. These screws are placed into the jawbone through a surgical procedure. Recovery is a process that takes time. After the screws are fully placed in the jawbone, it is expected that these screws will integrate with the bone. Then, the prosthesis tooth is placed.
Implant Treatment Prices 2020
It is not possible to talk about a single price for implant treatment. Prices vary depending on the techniques applied during the treatment, the clinic where the treatment will be performed, and even the city you reside in. The Social Security Institution does not cover the cost of implant treatment. However, some of the treatment expenses are covered in contracted health institutions and organizations. There are many factors that affect the variation in treatment prices. These factors are as follows:
- There are many implant brands and models on the market. The brand and model preferred by physicians directly affect the cost. It is not correct to expect performance from titanium screws made of low-quality material.
- Whether an additional treatment is applied to the implant also directly affects the cost. Each patient's oral condition is different. If a treatment is needed to prepare the mouth and bones for the implant, the price will also increase. For example, if the gums are inflamed, the gums should be treated first, and then the implant treatment should begin.
- The number of implants to be placed also directly affects the price. Because the implant is a standalone procedure, a titanium screw is needed for each missing tooth. If all teeth are lost, 12 implants will need to be placed. Of course, the price will increase in this case. In fact, the implant is the last resort. Even a tooth that seems unlikely to perform can be saved through applied treatments.
