If you’re struggling with missing teeth, replacing them with implant-supported prosthetics can restore your smile’s appearance and function. However, you might hesitate to move forward because of a natural question: how much do mini dental implants cost? The good news is that mini implants are significantly more affordable than traditional implants. Once you know the cost of your care, we’ll help you explore ways to lower or manage your out-of-pocket expenses, including insurance benefits, financing options, and any available courtesy discounts.
We’re happy to break it all down in a free consultation, so it costs nothing to plan for your investment.
Why Mini Implants Are a More Affordable Alternative
Dental implants have a reputation for supporting realistic teeth replacements. 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 replacing teeth with traditional implants. How is this the case? The price reduction comes from the smaller, streamlined design, less invasive placement process, and a reduced need for bone grafting.
Streamlined design: Mini dental implants are slimmer than conventional implants. 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: Minimally invasive placement reduces the number of follow-up visits required and further lowers costs.
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. Many patients can avoid bone grafting by choosing 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 itself if it is deemed medically necessary. This may include 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 your 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 up to 100% of your dental care and often includes promotional financing on qualifying treatment. We also work with Alphaeon, a lending company, and Cherry, a buy-now-pay-later company.
At the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we want to make the cost of care easier to plan for with payment options that fit a range of budgets. That’s why we provide mini implants in the first place! We stand on that commitment by creating many avenues to afford your smile restoration.
