How much does a dental implant cost?

The price of dental implants mainly includes three parts. One is the cost of the implant, which is the main reason for deciding to implant the teeth. The second is the cost of the abutment, and the third is the cost of the porcelain crown. Of course, this includes the cost of the hospital’s doctor skills and other costs. Different implant systems, different regions, and different hospitals have different charging standards. If you choose a dental implant system from Korea, it usually costs around 8,000-10,000, and from Europe and the United States, it costs between 15,000-25,000.

1. Dental implant: refers to a method of repairing missing teeth based on the lower structure implanted in bone tissue to support and retain the upper dental restoration. It consists of two parts: the lower dental implant (dental implant) and the upper dental prosthesis (implant-supported). It uses artificial materials (such as metal, ceramics, etc.) to make implants (generally similar to the shape of tooth roots), which are surgically implanted into the tissue (usually the upper and lower jaw) and obtain firm retention support from bone tissue. Through special devices and way to connect the supporting upper dental restoration. Dental implants can achieve restoration effects that are very similar to natural teeth in terms of function, structure, and aesthetics, and have become the preferred restoration method for more and more patients with missing teeth.

2. Development history: As early as ancient times, people in Europe, the Middle East, and Central America have tried to use various homogeneous or heterogeneous materials, including human and animal teeth, carved bones and shells, etc., for implants. jawbone to replace missing teeth. In modern times, people have tried to use artificial materials to make implants of various shapes [2], which can be placed inside or outside the bone to repair missing teeth or provide support for dental restorations. However, these implants have suffered a large number of failure due to their inability to meet the requirements of the complex oral environment. In the mid-20th century, Swede Br?nemark observed that animal bone tissue could tightly integrate with implanted titanium devices. He later defined this phenomenon as osseointegration.
