If you’re struggling with missing teeth, replacing them with implant-supported prosthetics powerfully restores your smile’s appearance and function. However, you might hesitate to take the leap towards a complete smile because of a very natural question: how much do mini dental implants cost? The good news is that mini implants are dramatically more affordable than traditional implants. Once you know the cost of your care, we’ll help reduce it even further. We will check your insurance and help you pay off the remaining balance with helpful financing options.
We’re happy to break it all down in a free consultation, so it costs nothing to plan for a complete smile.
Why Mini Implants Are a More Affordable Alternative
Dental implants have a reputation for supporting realistic restorations. But they’re also known for being quite costly. Thankfully, mini dental implants are much more affordable. In fact, they cost about half as much as traditional implant restorations! How is this the case? The price reduction comes from the smaller implant size, streamlined design, less invasive placement process, and a reduced need for bone grafting.
Reduced implant size: Mini dental implants are less than 3 mm wide, roughly half the diameter of traditional implants. These slimmer implants require less material to produce, supporting cost savings.
Streamlined design: Mini implants are a single unit, improving on the traditional implant’s two-piece design. The smaller implant’s seamless, one-piece design not only lowers manufacturing costs but also refines the procedure.
Less invasive placement: The mini implant procedure’s less invasive nature allows for quicker healing, reducing the number of follow-up visits required and further lowering the cost.
Reduced need for bone grafting: Bone loss in the jaw is a natural consequence of tooth loss. That’s why patients often hear they need bone grafting to accommodate conventional-sized implants. Because mini implants are smaller, they work even when patients have much less jawbone. Patients rarely need a bone graft to be eligible for mini dental implants.
All of these factors make mini implants far more affordable than their traditional counterparts. At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand that some patients on a budget may still have trouble paying for mini dental implants. Fortunately, we offer financing plans for mini dental implants, making the procedure more accessible.
How Insurance and Financing Help You Manage Costs
While mini implants are more affordable than their traditional counterparts, they’re still an investment that you likely want to plan for. The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry helps you fit mini dental implants into your budget by applying insurance whenever possible and offering a variety of financing options.
Insurance
You might think that dental insurance doesn’t cover dental implants. But in reality, insurance may cover part of the dental implant procedure. Extractions and prosthetic teeth may be covered. Additionally, medical insurance might cover the implant if it is deemed medically necessary. This often includes situations where tooth loss results from trauma, cancer treatment, or other medical conditions that affect your overall health.
Regardless, you’ll likely still have remaining costs afterward. To manage those expenses, we want to help you break them down with financing.
Financing
To ensure finances don’t hinder access to high-quality dental care, we offer payment plans through three leading healthcare financing companies.
For instance, CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that lets you finance 100% of your dental care with a promotional 0% interest offering. We also work with Alphaeon, a lending company, and Cherry, a buy-now-pay-later company.
