Restoring Your Smile is Worth the Cost
What Factors Affect Dental Implant Costs?
CALCULATING THE PRICE OF IMPLANT DENTISTRY
CALCULATING THE PRICE OF IMPLANT DENTISTRY
Number of Implants
The number of implants needed to restore a smile varies from patient to patient. A person missing just one tooth will pay less than a person who needs to replace an entire arch of teeth.
Type of Restoration
Dental implants have abutments that can support restorations to fill the gaps in your smile and restore functionality to your mouth. Our practice offers implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures that are indistinguishable from natural teeth. Crowns cost less than bridges and dentures, but any restoration will add to your overall cost. Our dentists can attach your implant-supported restoration to your abutment without having to refer you elsewhere!
Preliminary Surgery
Before dental implant placement can occur, a patient must be examined to determine if their mouth is healthy enough to support the implant. Gum disease, tooth decay, and bone density problems must all be addressed before your surgeon can place your implants. We can perform bone grafting, tooth extraction, and other preparatory procedures for implant patients.
Surgeon Experience
The more experienced your oral surgeon, the more expensive your implant placement might be. Our dentists serving the communities of Harrisonburg, and Staunton, VA, are highly trained in implant dentistry and can perform a safe procedure.

Why Dental Implants?
Our dentists recommend dental implants and implant-supported crowns, bridges, or dentures after tooth loss because they’re the next best thing to a natural tooth. The implant post fuses with your jawbone and becomes part of your anatomy, stimulating your jawbone and holding a restoration firmly in place.
This advanced technique in dentistry can improve your overall oral health, prevent serious dental problems, lead to a boost in confidence, and improve your quality of life.

Understanding the Benefits and Risks of Dental Implants
Like all surgical procedures, dental implant surgery has certain benefits and risks. However, long-term side effects are unlikely. This is especially true when you receive treatment from an experienced practitioner, like Dr. Dan Whiting, Dr. Geovanny Balderas, or associates. We can help you fully understand the benefits and risks of dental implants during a consultation at our Bridgewater, VA, office. At Smiles for Life Dental Care, we offer highly personalized care, and we use the latest treatment techniques. In this way, we can minimize your risk and ensure that you enjoy the many benefits of dental implants, including durability, stability, and preserved jawbone health.
Dental implants provide unrivaled support for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Functional Benefits
Dental implants actually mimic the function of your tooth roots. Because of this effect, they have a number of important benefits that no other type of restoration can provide. First, with implants, your crown, bridge, or denture will never slip out of place. In turn, you will enjoy completely restored oral function, and you will not face any dietary restrictions. Your speech will also be clear and precise, and you will not have to worry that your prosthetic will move around in your mouth.
Health-related Benefits
Implants have another unparalleled benefit: they are the only type of restoration that can prevent jawbone recession. Healthy dental roots send regenerative signals to your jaw. When you are missing teeth, your jaw no longer receives this stimulation, and the bone will start to recede. In turn, you could experience further tooth loss, and the shape of your face could change dramatically. Because implants replace your dental roots, they will also send out the same restorative signals, protecting your overall dental health and preserving your facial structure.

Cosmetic Benefits
In addition to their many practical benefits, dental implants can also have important advantages for your appearance. Implant-supported restorations rest snugly against your gums just like natural teeth, so they will blend seamlessly with your smile. In contrast, a removable denture will need a plastic base and denture adhesive to stay in place. Though modern dentures are more realistic than ever before, only an implant-supported restoration will provide this high level of aesthetics.
Risks of Dental Implants
All surgical procedures carry some degree of risk. Complications following dental implant surgery can include:
- Implant failure
- Prolonged bleeding
- Infection
- Nerve damage
- Damage to the sinus passages
Fortunately, these risks are quite rare. In fact, over the last two decades, implants have had an astonishing 95 percent success rate. To further ensure your safety, it is important to choose an experienced implant dentist. Our doctors have been placing implants for many years. They will use advanced imaging to position the posts very precisely, and they will carefully determine your candidacy for treatment. With their skill and precision, you can expect to enjoy a beautiful, functional smile that will last for years to come.
