In fact, the price of dental implants in regular domestic dental hospitals is still relatively reasonable. Some people say that they are cheaper abroad. However, as far as I know, in European and American countries that have better implantation technology, the asking price of dental implant surgery is not high. It is cheap. Our hospital has received several cases of postgraduates and doctors who studied abroad and returned to our hospital for dental implants. They all reported that even if they have some insurance, the surgeries abroad are still much higher than those in China. Comparing the two, they I am even willing to buy a plane ticket to come back for dental implants. It can be seen that the price of dental implant diagnosis and treatment at home and abroad is not low.
So is there any water in the price of dental implants? It mainly depends on what parts its charges consist of.
1. Cost of implant materials
We have also developed implants in China, and the price can be said to be the cheapest among implants. But how can I put it, implants require Supported by clinical practice data, domestic implant research and development started late, and it is difficult to say how effective such implants will be in 20 or 30 years. The quality of implants in Switzerland and Germany is guaranteed. Our hospitals basically use this type of imported implants. You all know what this means. As long as it involves imported medical equipment and supplies, the prices are so high that the price of implants is so high. The hospital does not have the right to speak in this area, and the cost is extremely high.
2. The cost of implant doctors
To be honest, the technical fees of doctors in our country are so low that men and women cry. It is really not high. The most important thing is that your dental implant is not done by a doctor, but by an implant team. For example, the medical staffing for dental implants in our hospital is:
Implant surgeon + implant restoration Doctor + implant technician + corresponding assistant (this does not include accompanying doctors, examiners, etc.)
A skilled implant doctor = 5 years of undergraduate degree + 1 year of practicing examination + 5 years of professional training + 1 Annual exams = 12 years. In these 12 years, let alone the soy sauce, the children will almost graduate from junior high school.
In addition, implantation technology is constantly being renovated, and implantation doctors have to go abroad regularly for further study. If you just count on it, 20 years have passed by in a hurry...
3. The cost of medical equipment
The equipment required for general dental diagnosis and treatment is like this:
The equipment needed for dental implants is like this:
This is like this:
Like this:
It is very intuitive to feel where the implant surgery fees are spent...
Dental implant is a minimally invasive surgery after all, and the accuracy requirements are very high. Generally only a few millimeters, traditional blind implants have basically been eliminated. If you want to achieve minimally invasive, minimally painful or even painless, you must rely on these large-scale medical equipment to accurately position. Friends who have been to the hospital know that the more accurate the Clear inspection equipment is more expensive.
4. Maintenance after implant surgery
Dental implants are not done when you walk out of the hospital after the surgery. The main thing depends on the effect of the implanter in the following decades. Dental implants Post-maintenance is an important factor affecting the life of dental implants. A responsible dental hospital will require dental implant recipients to have regular follow-up visits to facilitate timely maintenance. Our hospital has a dedicated post-maintenance department. This medical cost is also very high. These are included in your dental implant surgery fee.
From the above four points, as long as you go to a hospital other than Putian, the current price of dental implants in regular dental hospitals is quite reasonable.
For a long time, people have spent heavily on external materials such as skin care products, mobile phones, bags, clothing, cars, etc. However, they have invested very little in their own bodies. In fact, after careful calculation, a dental implant can last for decades, and the average cost is only a few cents per day. I think the price is still within an acceptable range.
