DENTAL IMPLANTS COST

There is no question that dental implants cost more than traditional dental bridges and dentures. Conventional dentures and bridges do not replace your teeth at the root. A dental implant secured restoration will replace your teeth roots and the crown portion of the teeth. This will help make your new teeth more stable and durable, almost as good as natural teeth. Because this replacement solution is so sophisticated, it involves many high quality materials and steps that dentures and bridges do not.
