The Cost of Dental Implants Payment and Financing Options
Dental implants are more expensive than traditional bridges or dentures, yet many feel that the benefits justify the cost of care. We will work with you to find an affordable solution.
The Average Cost
The cost of dental implants varies based on many factors. This may include the replacement of one tooth or multiple teeth and the need for additional surgeries. We can provide a cost breakdown during your visit.
Insurance and Implants
Insurance rarely covers the cost of dental implants, though plans may cover the implant-supported denture. Since policies differ, it's important that patients contact their insurance provider directly to learn more.
Financing Options
If the total cost is too much of a financial burden, CareCredit® can help put dental implants within reach. CareCredit will break the total cost of implant treatment into affordable monthly installment payments.

What Are Dental Implants? Understanding the Basics
There are many misconceptions about dental implants and how they work. Below are some of the basics about implants so patients understand what they are able to do.
Artificial Tooth Roots
Dental implants are artificial roots made of titanium. The titanium implants are surgically anchored into the jawbone. As the patient heals, the implant posts fuse with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration.
Support for Restorations
Implants are topped with abutments used to support crowns, bridges, and dentures. The extent of a patient's tooth loss determines the ideal type of implant restoration as well as how many implants should be placed.
Long-Term Results
The fusion of the titanium implant posts with the jawbone means the implants can last for life. Multiple studies note that dental implants can last 40 years or longer, which means a lifetime of enhanced oral health.

What a great dental office with kind and professional staff from dentist to receptionists. Everyone is helpful and friendly. My husband and I moved from CA where we were very happy with our dentist and staff there and thought we would never find another dentist like the one in CA. We were wrong!
View On GoogleWhat Are Common Dental Implants Benefits?
There are many great reasons to get dental implants. A number of patients at our Idaho Falls practice have reported the following benefits after their treatment is completed.
Prevents Bone Loss
The titanium implants give the jawbone a stable structure to grow around and support. This prevents bone loss from happening along the jaw. Removable bridges and dentures cannot prevent bone loss like implants can.High Rates of Success
Implant dentistry has a long and proven record of safety and effectiveness. According to some studies, dental implants have a patient success rate of 95 percent and greater. These are oral health results that you can trust.Renewed Self-Confidence
Thanks to dental implants, patients have a fully restored smile. The implant restoration looks and functions just like natural teeth. You can eat, speak, smile, and laugh without feeling self-conscious about your appearance.Many Americans Suffer from Missing Teeth
More Americans are missing teeth than you may realize. That helps explain why implant dentistry is growing in popularity. At Sandcreek Dental, we can help you have a fully restored set of teeth.
Types of Dental Implants Different Treatment Options
There are many different options for tooth replacement that go beyond traditional dental implants. Our Idaho Falls practice offers multiple implant options to meet each patient's unique needs.

Many patients receive traditional implants, which consist of a titanium post and an abutment that attaches the final restoration. Effective and stable, they're an excellent option for one missing tooth or full arch replacement.

All-on-4 uses just four dental implants to support a full denture. These implants are strategically placed and can immediately support a temporary denture. It's ideal for people missing all or most of their teeth.

Smaller than traditional implants, mini implants can be loaded quickly to support a custom appliance. Mini implants are used on patients who do not have enough jawbone structure to support a traditional implant.

Easily the best experience I've had at a dental office in a long time. The staff was knowledgeable and willing to answer questions, and the hygienist was nice and good at her job. Very minimal pokey stabby stuff that we all hate! Big, BIG plus for me. Then there's their equipment! Very updated, comfortable, the whole nine yards. If you're at all interested, give them a shot!
