[Health Column] Are you worried about the cost of implants? A guide to realistic treatment options.

 

hello, Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic Director Kim Hyeong-seok no see.

I hear this a lot during consultations in the clinic.

 

“I think I need treatment, but the cost of implants is too much.”

 

 

Because implants are a long-term treatment If you need to do multiple things at once , the financial burden may feel great. However, if you continue to postpone treatment due to cost, Decreased chewing function and worsening gum condition As time goes by, the inconvenience may increase.

So today When the cost of implants is burdensome, realistic options and criteria to consider Let's organize it.

 

 

Are implants the right choice for everyone?

🔸Implants are not the only answer in all cases.

 

Implants are Restore lost tooth function It is an effective treatment method.

 

but

• If you have a systemic disease

• If you are elderly

• If the gum bone condition is not good
  The burden of treatment may increase. Here Situations requiring multiple plantings If so Cost burden It will increase together.

 

✔️ So the important point is “It’s not the same treatment for everyone, Choices that suit your individual circumstances This is necessary The point is “to do.”

 

 

Why do implant costs feel particularly burdensome?

🔸 It's not just a matter of 'the cost of one tooth'.

The cost of implants can vary greatly depending on the following factors:

🔸 Number of teeth lost
🔸 Gum bone condition
🔸 Whether additional surgery is needed (e.g. bone grafting, etc.)
🔸 Long-term maintenance plan

 

Especially if you need to do multiple things at the same time, More than the treatment itself economic burden This is often the biggest concern.

 

 

Are there any realistic alternatives to treatment that can reduce the cost burden?

🔸 Reducing the number of implants and utilizing existing prosthetics together may be an alternative.

 

for example, Implant dentures like Place a small number of implants sun Stable support for dentures How to design it to do so silver

 

✔️Compared to full implants

You can expect the following advantages:

 

 

 

This method in particular,

• People who find existing dentures uncomfortable

• People who frequently lose their dentures or have weak chewing strength

• Those who find full implants difficult due to cost or health issues

It could be an option for you.

but, Applicability may vary depending on individual oral condition. , please remember.

 

 

What are the differences between implant dentures and conventional dentures?

🔸Implant dentures This is a way to compensate for the reason why the dentures were moving or uncomfortable.

Many people say that existing dentures are structured to be placed on top of the gums, and that they are uncomfortable because they move or lift when eating.

 

 

On the other hand, the denture method using implants is Implants support dentures Because it does it
✔️ Reduced movement
✔️ More stable chewing power transmission
You can expect.

 

Of course, we do not guarantee the same results for everyone, and applicability may vary depending on individual circumstances.

🔸 It's worth considering if:

 

✔️ If you are concerned about having multiple implants placed
✔️ If you find it uncomfortable to use existing dentures
✔️ If gum bone absorption has progressed
✔️ In cases where long-term surgery is difficult due to overall health issues

 

The most important criterion is, “Which treatment is good?” rather than “ Is this the right choice for me? "no see.
It is recommended that you consult with a specialist to find the right treatment for your situation.
