1. High cost of implant materials: dental implants are a high-end oral restorative technology, most of the implant materials used are titanium alloy or pure titanium, which not only have a high degree of biocompatibility, but also need to undergo a number of processes, so the cost is higher.
2. High surgical cost: Dental implant surgery needs to be operated by a professional dentist, and the surgical process is more complicated, requiring a higher level of technology. At the same time, dental implant surgery also needs to be equipped with advanced medical equipment and a high standard of medical environment, all these factors lead to the increase in the cost of dental implant surgery.
3. High cost of restorative materials: After the completion of dental implants, there is a need to use some special restorative materials, such as porcelain, resin, etc., which are more expensive and also increase the cost of dental implants.
In addition, the information that the single dental implant of three public hospitals does not exceed 4,500 yuan shows that the National Health Insurance Bureau has carried out special management of the charges for oral implant medical services and the price of consumables, and set a maximum price. This policy aims to reduce the price of dental implants, so that more people can enjoy this high-end oral restoration services.
Besides the price factor, the effect and comfort of dental implants are also factors to be considered. Dental implants can restore the form and function of teeth and are comparable to natural teeth, making them a very effective restoration for patients with missing teeth or teeth loss. At the same time, dental implants do not affect the occlusal relationship of neighboring teeth or the health of gums, and have a high degree of comfort and aesthetics.
All in all, although the price of dental implants is high, they have high restorative effect and comfort, which makes them a very worthwhile oral restoration method to consider. At the same time, with the continuous promotion of the national health insurance policy, I believe that the price of dental implants will be gradually reduced in the future, so that more people can enjoy this high-end oral restoration services.
