I’m Missing a Tooth. What Are My Options?

Here’s the good news. You’re not short of options when it comes to missing or chipped teeth. Now here’s the not-so-good news. Those options can be expensive:

Partial dentures ($550-$9,000)

The most common alternative to surgery for tooth loss is a partial denture, a removable replacement for your missing teeth that rests upon the palette of your mouth. Depending on how many teeth are missing, this can cost up to $7,000 after multiple dentist visits.

Tooth Implants (from $4,500 per tooth)

Tooth implants replace a missing tooth entirely, but they’re costly and involve invasive surgery. A single implant can cost $3,500, and requires drilling into your jaw bone, fusing a metal post into the hole, and then screwing on a false tooth. A single dental implant can take many months as the jaw bone needs time to heal and your existing teeth might need to move into place.

Fixed or Removable Bridge ($550-$5,800)

A dental bridge covers the gap left by your missing tooth or teeth by fixing a false tooth to one or more crowns applied to your remaining teeth. A dentist will have to file down your remaining, healthy teeth, which may involve multiple trips to the dentist’s chair.

Full Dental Reconstruction (up to $92,000)

A full dental reconstruction can be required if you have severe dental issues or want a complete smile makeover. In some cases, patients require implant-retained dentures with 6 implants per jaw. The costs associated with full reconstructions are very significant but it’s purely down to the individual needs.
