How Much Do Mini Dental Implants Cost? [Video FAQs]

The cost of living is on the rise, likely making your budget feel smaller than ever. Between bills, gas, and groceries, the last thing you want to think about is the cost of your dental care. But oral health is important, and ensuring your smile stays healthy is priceless. Fortunately for those with missing teeth, replacing them has never been easier! Dental implants replace missing teeth with a sturdy and reliable restoration. However, these implants are on the expensive side, pushing many patients away from this life-changing treatment. At Aesthetic Dental, we offer cost-effective mini dental implants that help patients on a budget afford implant treatment! If you want to learn how much mini dental implants cost and what can affect your price, book a free consultation with us in Southfield, MI, today.

How Much Do Mini Dental Implants Cost?

Aesthetic Dental offers two types of dental implants: traditional implants and mini dental implants.

Traditional dental implants are larger in diameter and are made of three components.

• The implant, which embeds in your jawbone
• The abutment, which is what connects your restoration to the implant
• The crown, which goes on top to replace your missing tooth

But because of their large diameter and complex design, traditional implants can be expensive. At Aesthetic Dental in Sterling Heights, MI, a traditional implant costs about $4,500, which includes all 3 components. Additionally, because most people who get traditional implants require a bone graft to rebuild lost jaw structure, you may be facing an additional $500 to $800.

Mini dental implants are much smaller and have a unique one-piece design. Rather than splitting up the abutment and implant, both pieces come as a single unit. Not only does this reduce the cost of your implant treatment, but it also protects you from potential infections that tend to form around multi-piece implants!

Mini dental implants cost around $3,500, which includes the implant, the procedure, and the final restoration. And, in most cases, you won’t need a bone graft for mini implant placement, saving you time and money.

What Affects the Cost of Dental Implants?

The cost of your dental implant treatment depends on more than just the type of implant you need.

One of the biggest determining factors is how many teeth you’re replacing. Restoring one tooth with an implant-supported crown is less expensive than replacing a whole arch of teeth with an implant denture.

Another important thing to consider is how much preparatory work you may need beforehand. Procedures like bone grafting, gum disease treatment, and extractions may increase both your cost and timeline. Fortunately, some of these procedures may be covered by dental insurance!

Typically, insurance plans cover only what they deem “medically necessary,” like gum disease treatment or extractions.

However, many insurance plans don’t consider dental implants (and, by extension, bone grafting) necessary. Depending on your plan, your insurance provider may even deny coverage for dental implant treatment. That’s partly why it’s so important to come in for a free consultation! There, we will review your insurance coverage and determine what it includes.

How Can We Make Your Implants More Affordable?

If you don’t have dental insurance or your coverage doesn’t include implant treatment, that doesn’t mean dental implants are off the table. Not only do mini dental implants cost less than traditional dental implants, but Aesthetic Dental also provides several payment plan options.

Our office partners with multiple third-party financing companies to provide flexible financing for patients! These companies include CareCredit and Proceed Finance, which both help patients split their pricetag into smaller, manageable monthly payments. If you wish to, you can also go through your own bank or credit union.
