How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Beverly Hills?

In Beverly Hills and surrounding areas, dental implants generally cost between $3,500 to $6,500 per tooth. Few restorative dental treatments represent as significant an investment into oral health and confidence as dental implants. For patients in Beverly Hills, understanding what drives the cost can be just as valuable as knowing the actual rates for dental implants in the Los Angeles region. Below, celebrated cosmetic dentist Kevin Sands, DDS provides a brief primer on what to expect with regard to implant costs, pricing factors, and more. 

Factors That Can Influence Dental Implants Pricing

With this in mind, several factors can influence the cost of your dental implant procedure. Just a few of these variables include:

• The number of implants needed (i.e., a single tooth implant or implant dentures)
• Your overall oral wellness prior to treatment
• The complexity of the procedure
• Additional solutions, such as bone grafting or periodontal treatments
• Materials and technology utilized
• Your dentist’s expertise

During your first consultation with our cosmetic dentist, Dr. Sands will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine that implants are right for your needs. After this initial appointment, he will provide an estimate for the price of your treatment. 

Will Insurance Cover Dental Implants?

The majority of traditional dental insurance plans classify dental implants as a cosmetic or elective procedure and provide no coverage for the implant fixture itself. However, some components of the implant process may be covered even when the implant itself is not. The extraction of a failing tooth, for example, is frequently covered as a standard benefit. Diagnostic imaging, including X-rays, is typically covered. In some cases, the dental crown portion of the restoration may be covered as a prosthetic, even when the underlying implant fixture is not. Patients should reach out to their insurance provider for a full breakdown of covered benefits.
