We will answer all the questions that bother you about the financial cost you pay for implants, what types they are, and the techniques used in them.

Cost of Dental Implants

Many people who have lost one or more teeth want to undergo dental implants, but what concerns them most is the high cost required. We find that the cost of a single tooth implant in Egypt ranges from 4000 to 7000 Egyptian pounds. This is considered very good compared to their quality and numerous benefits, and they are one of the permanent options that dentists resort to.

There are many factors that determine the cost of a dental implant, including the following:

• The techniques used in the procedure.
• The patient’s health condition
• The level of the medical center and its sterilization and cleanliness
• The level of experience and competence of the doctor and the years of experience they have in this field.
• The tests and X-rays that the patient undergoes before the procedure.

Does a Dental Implant Procedure Require Preparation?

Of course, there are some procedures that are done for dental implants and necessary preparations before the implant, including the following:

• The patient undergoes panoramic dental X-rays or CT scan.
• Some cases require bone grafting in the jaw because it is weak or osteoporotic and cannot withstand the dental implant.
• People who suffer from blood clotting will be asked by the doctor for some tests related to blood clotting before the operation because they are more prone to bleeding than others.
• It is necessary to inform the doctor of any medications, vitamins, minerals, and previous surgeries you have undergone before undergoing the procedure.
• Obtaining measurements of the tooth to be implanted.
• Ensuring that there is sufficient density and thickness of the jawbone for the tooth implant.
• Ensuring the patient’s health and that they do not suffer from diseases and are in good health.

Can a Single Tooth be Implanted?

Of course, it is possible to implant a single tooth into the jawbone, and if the case requires implanting more than one adjacent tooth, it is possible to make a permanent dental bridge.

We find that the cost of implanting a single tooth differs from the cost of implanting multiple teeth, depending on more than one factor, but it has been proven that implanting more than one tooth in one operation will cost less than implanting a single tooth in a single session.

Is it Possible to Install a Tooth in Place of the Extracted Tooth?

Of course, it is possible to install a tooth in place of the extracted tooth. The period that a person must wait to install the tooth after extraction differs from person to person depending on the reasons for extraction, which include the following:

• Immediate Implants: The advantage of immediate implants is that they allow you to install the tooth immediately after extraction if the jawbone and gums are free of any diseases or inflammation. The doctor will fix the titanium root in the socket of the extracted tooth, then wait for a period until it fuses with the jawbone, and then place the artificial tooth above the root.
• Early Implants: In case of gum inflammation, the inflamed gum must heal before installing the tooth after extraction. You should know that the person loses more than half of the jawbone surrounding the extracted tooth within three months of the extraction date. Therefore, it is necessary to install the tooth after extraction during that period when the doctor implants the root and then fixes the tooth after the bone fuses with the root.
• Delayed Implants: It is well known that extracting a severely decayed tooth means that the jawbone is negatively affected and loses part of it. In that case, the doctor places a bone graft immediately after extraction, and after six months, he implants the root and then the tooth.

We will discuss in the following points the most important reasons that lead to the extraction of teeth and molars, which include the following:

• Crowding of the Jaw: Some people have a tooth size that does not match the size of the jaw, which causes crowding of the jaw with teeth and thus affects their shape and direction. Therefore, the dentist may need to extract some of these teeth to create enough space for the teeth to align naturally.
• Tooth Decay: Eating sweets and sugars, along with neglecting dental hygiene, leads to tooth decay and, consequently, tooth damage. Neglecting the treatment of decay also leads to tooth damage and severe pain, forcing the dentist to extract the decayed teeth or molars.
• Gum Diseases: If the gums become infected with bacteria, they will weaken the teeth in the long run, forcing the dentist to extract the damaged ones.
• Tooth Injuries: If teeth are subjected to shocks or bruises, they can break, requiring the dentist to extract the broken teeth to prevent problems in the mouth and maintain its health and cleanliness.

What are Immediate Dental Implants?

Immediate dental implants are a method in which a metal base made of titanium is placed in the bone socket of the missing tooth within the jawbone, directly after extraction. In some cases, a temporary crown is placed to serve as the tooth until the permanent crown is implanted. This method allows you to preserve the size and shape of the gum and is considered one of the easiest and simplest implant procedures with less surgical intervention on the gum and bone.

When Does the Bone Heal After Tooth Extraction?

The time it takes for the jawbone to heal after tooth extraction varies between 6 to 12 months, but the bone renewal cycle takes three years to become normal and similar to the surrounding bone.

There is more than one type of dental implant, which differs according to the technique used, including the following:

• Endosseous Implants: These are the most common type of implants used, where the dental implants are inserted into the jawbone.
• Subperiosteal Implants: This type of implant is placed above the jawbone but under the gum. It is used in cases where the jawbone is weak and abnormal and does not allow for implantation.

Instructions After a Dental Implant Procedure

After undergoing a dental implant or jawbone grafting procedure, the patient must treat the new tooth naturally. It is important to follow some important tips after the implant, including the following:

• It is necessary to take pain medications prescribed by the doctor in case of unbearable pain.
• Take care to clean the tooth daily with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
• Be sure to use a toothbrush with special specifications suitable for the nature of the teeth.
• It is best to eat soft and easy-to-chew foods after the procedure to ensure a good outcome and complete healing.
• It is necessary to visit the doctor regularly to ensure the health of the tooth and that there are no problems, infections, or inflammation.

Is it Possible to Implant More Than One Tooth?

Yes, it is possible to implant more than one tooth in a case, but if you need to implant more than one adjacent tooth, it is possible to make a permanent dental bridge, which is an ideal option in that case, in addition to installing crowns.

Of course, the cost of implanting a single tooth differs from implanting multiple teeth, as it depends on the number in addition to some of the factors mentioned above.
