Are you considering dental implants in San Diego County? Understanding the investment involved is crucial. At A+ Family Dentistry, with convenient locations in San Diego, Poway, and Sorrento Valley, we prioritize transparency and patient education. Our goal is to ensure you have all the information needed to make an informed decision about restoring your smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement because they closely mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.

Implant Post:

A titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone.

Abutment:

A connector that attaches the implant post to the crown.

Dental Crown:

 A custom-made prosthetic tooth.

This combination not only restores the aesthetics of your smile but also preserves jawbone health and improves oral functionality.

Understanding Bone Loss and Its Impact on Implants

When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone begins to shrink over time due to lack of stimulation. This bone loss can lead to:

Changes in facial appearance

Shifting teeth

Difficulty eating

If significant bone loss has occurred, procedures like bone grafting (adding bone) may be required before implants can be placed.

The Long-Term Value of Dental Implants

Beyond aesthetics, dental implants provide long-term value:

They can last a lifetime with proper care.

They help preserve facial structure and prevent bone loss.

They avoid the repeated costs of bridges or dentures.

Factors Influencing the Cost of Dental Implants

The cost of dental implants varies based on:


  1. Number of Implants Required

  2. Preparatory Procedures (bone grafting, extractions)

  3. Type of Restoration (single crown, bridge, or denture)

  4. Material Choices

  5. Sedation Options

  6. Geographic Location

Additional Factors:

Diagnostic imaging (3D scans)

Temporary restorations during healing

Follow-up visits

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implant Costs

  • Does insurance cover dental implants?

    Coverage varies. A lot of insurances now cover dental implants. Our staff can help you review your benefits.

  • Are there financing options available?

    Yes. We offer flexible financing, including 0% interest plans for qualified patients.


  • How long do dental implants last?

    The average life of a dental implant is 10 years, however, some can last 5 years or less depending on how you take care of it or the position in the mouth.  The back teeth take more pressure and are harder to keep clean, they usually do not last as long as the front teeth.


  • How do I know if I'm a candidate?

    Most healthy adults are candidates. A full evaluation will determine your suitability.  We will require a 3D x-ray to determine if you are a candidate.


  • What if I have bone loss?

    Bone grafting can rebuild your jawbone to support implants.



  • Can dental implants replace multiple teeth?

    While Invisalign may have a higher upfront cost, it provides greater value through personalized treatment, hands-on monitoring, and long-term results, reducing the risk of costly post-treatment corrections.


  • How do I care for my implants?

    Maintain good oral hygiene and schedule regular dental visits.

  • How long does the entire process take?

    Typically between 4 to 9 months, depending on individual circumstances.
