Dental implants should belong to the medical cosmetic surgery, and does not belong to the basic oral diseases, if the dental implants into the health insurance, if the population base is so large health insurance costs can not afford, health care is with the level of economic development want to match, and the health insurance money into the serious illnesses of the basic illnesses of the patients, in order to reflect the significance of the health insurance for the people's livelihood. Many people who have been to the dentist feel that it is too expensive, especially dental implants are even more expensive with? Robbing money? It's not even close. Why is it so expensive to go to the dentist?
One of the most expensive medical materials, in the dental implant surgery is the most expensive material, the cost of materials accounted for three percent. The most difficult thing about dental implants is to put the lifeless material in direct contact with the living tissue, in contact with a lot of reflections will occur, for example, there will be inflammation or corrosion. The best way to solve this problem is to use titanium. When titanium metal comes into contact with soft tissue and bone tissue, it can modify the surface of the object so that we do not feel that it is a foreign object, and it seems that this titanium metal is supposed to be in this place. Titanium metal has a high melting point and is not easy to mold, so it is basically an imported product. The monopoly of the technology plus the tariffs and so on have made it so expensive today.
The second is expensive in the implant planting technology, dental implants surgical costs accounted for 30% of the implant restoration is ultimately successful or failure of the most important is the stability of the implant. From the implant design to production to the doctor to implant this implant to the patient's teeth groove, and finally complete the implant whether the patient is accustomed to, each link and details may affect the balance of the implant surface, this process takes about three to six months ranging.
Lastly, it is expensive in hospital operating costs, which accounts for 25% of the cost, implant technology needs to be equipped with a lot of large-scale equipment, such as X-ray diagnostic equipment, mechanics equipment, clinical surgical equipment, blood analysis, cardiac monitoring, etc., in the production of dentures, but also need some expensive restorative materials. And the hospital also has to have relatively supporting sites and equipment and facilities, so it will charge operating costs.
