About how much will a dental implant cost?

How much would a single dental implant in my situation cost?

• im 16 which is a year over the minimum age for an implant. my braces will be off in a couple months. i have very healthy teeth and gums and bone but i need an implant to fill the gap of an impacted tooth. how long would the entire process take (i hear it can take 3-6 months for bone growth but like i said i have a healthy oral history) and how much would it cost?

• Answer:

  You're right that it takes a long time for the complete procedure. It's because an implant (basically a screw) that can be made of various materials is drilled into your jawbone and it takes about three months of healing/adjustment period until the actual new tooth can be attached. It costs in the wealthy neighbourhood of $1200 per tooth. A less painful/costly way is just to have a small removable denture (single tooth) that attaches to the surrounding teeth.
