After decades of clinical practice, dental implants have become a mature implant restorative treatment. However, many patients question why dental implants are so expensive. This is because dental implants have extremely strict requirements for materials, and most of the materials imported in China are currently used. The second reason is that dental implants require specialized machines and equipment, which are more expensive. From the two aspects alone, the cost of dental implants is more expensive. I think there is still room to reduce the cost of dental implant medical services, mainly in the cost of materials and personnel costs.
I.Why are dental implants expensive?
1, implant denture material strict restrictions: the implant processing process is complex and requires extreme precision. Implants and accessories are available in a wide variety of sizes to meet the needs of different restorative designs, so the cost is very high.
2. Clinical implant technology requires a high level of equipment and environment, such as large X-ray diagnostic equipment, clinical surgical and technological instruments, surgical support equipment (cardiac monitoring, blood analysis, etc.), as well as in the production of some unique and more expensive restorative materials needed in the denture.
3, dental implants are made by specially trained implant surgeons, implant restorative surgeons, implant technicians and the corresponding assistant team to **** with the completion of the required personnel costs are relatively large.
4, dental implants sometimes need to be implanted with artificial bone substitutes to provide conditions for dental implant restoration, and artificial bone substitutes are expensive.
Two, dental implants medical service fee reduction space?
The price of dental implants varies greatly depending on the implant system, denture type and material, generally ranging from a few thousand dollars. The first is the price difference between implant systems produced by different manufacturers. The price of imported implants is much higher than that of domestic implants; if you consider a favorable price, you can give preference to domestic materials. Secondly, the implant-supported denture material price difference is large, the price of precious metal porcelain teeth, all-ceramic teeth is higher than ordinary porcelain teeth. Considering the price as before, we can consider ordinary porcelain teeth. After extended dental implant surgery, pay attention to maintenance, ordinary porcelain teeth fully meet our daily needs.
