Why are there so many different implant prices on the market? Assoc. Prof. Dr. Elif Öncü explains what the main factors are that determine the cost of implant treatment. Because what you’re buying isn’t just a screw!
Key Factors Determining the Price
The price of implant treatment is determined by the combination of many components. The main factors are:
- Implant Quality and History: The scientific history of the implant used, the type of titanium, and the surface technology.
- Physician’s Expertise: The experience of the surgeon performing the procedure, and their competence in bone and gum management.
- Planning and Technology: Pre- and post-surgical digital planning processes.
- Laboratory Quality: The laboratory production quality of the prosthesis to be placed on the implant.
Is Just Being Expensive Enough?
Even choosing the most expensive implant can result in failure with incorrect planning. What matters is the correct biological approach, the correct surgical technique, and the correct prosthetic approach. When these three elements come together, implants can be used healthily for years, even a lifetime.
Remember: A quality implant treatment is buying the possibility of years of trouble-free use!
