Molar Dental Implant Cost
Regardless of where it is being placed in the mouth, Yorkshire Dental Suite charges the same amount for an individual dental implant. If no additional treatments are required (such as a bone graft), the cost of one dental implant starts from £2,800. This price covers every type of tooth, including molars.
Is a tooth implant worth it for a molar?
Absolutely. Your molars have multiple important functions, including helping you to efficiently chew, swallow food safely and obtain nutrients. They also help to evenly distribute the force caused by chewing and biting. Therefore, we recommend a dental implant – molar teeth are too important! The benefits this dental treatment provides to each patient is life changing. Boasting an extremely impressive longevity of up to 20 years, a dental implant restores confidence and stops pain caused by chewing and speaking.
Dental implant procedure
The procedure itself remains the same, no matter where your implant is being fitted. You will be given the sedation of your choice. Then, the dental implant is surgically inserted in the mouth, followed by an abutment and a temporary tooth. If the molar is still in the mouth, this will be removed prior to the appointment or during. Now it’s time to go home and recover. Your mouth typically needs between three and four months to heal while the implant and jawbone fuse (osteointegration). When this fusion is complete, it is time to return to your dental clinic and have your final porcelain crown fitted.
FAQs
Let’s go through some common questions we receive about this procedure. If you have any queries that have not been answered, please do not hesitate to contact us.
How painful is a molar implant?
The procedure itself is completely pain-free, thanks to our range of sedation options. However, many patients experience discomfort while their mouth recovers from surgery, especially in the first few days. You are able to manage this with your usual over-the-counter pain medication.
How long do molar implants last?
As mentioned earlier, dental implants can provide up to 20 years if well cared for by the patient. So, while the molar implant cost may seem expensive initially, it is completely worth it.
Are there any age restrictions for dental implant treatment?
You must be at least 21 years old to receive this treatment. This is because, up until this point, your jawbone is still developing. On the other hand, you are never too old for dental implants! Conclusion: A single molar dental implant cost at Yorkshire Dental Suite starts from £2,800. Rest assured, the price of your treatment will be discussed with you during your consultation, which you can book today.
