One of the biggest concerns we hear from our patients at Bivona Family Dental is about the cost of treatment. Patients want to know what the cost of a procedure is, whether their dental insurance will cover it, and if there are any financing options available. Fortunately, Bivona Family Dental is here to answer all of your questions! At your consultation, we will go over any costs you may be facing, what insurance may cover, and our flexible financing options. For dental implant treatment, insurance coverage may be hard to come by. While we will work with your insurance to maximize your benefits, it may not cover your implants or treatment. But with dental implant financing, we can help make your care more affordable.
Breaking Down the Cost of Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium screws that replace missing tooth roots. Unlike more traditional tooth replacement methods that only replace the crown of your tooth, implants embed in your jaw to replace the root.
Thanks to their biocompatible titanium design, these implants will bond with your bone over time, creating a strong foundation. Then, using this connection, we anchor a crown, bridge, or denture to replace your missing teeth!
However, dental implants can be expensive, especially without insurance coverage. The cost of dental implants comes from:
- Several components: Dental implants have multiple components. The implant body, or screw, is what we embed in your jawbone. Then there’s the abutment, or connector piece, which is what attaches to your restoration. Finally, there is a small screw that holds the abutment to the implant body, increasing the cost of your treatment.
- Multiple appointments: Additionally, patients need to pay for multiple placement procedures, as each piece is placed separately. After placing the implant body, we must wait several months before placing the abutment. This healing period gives your implant time to integrate with your jaw. Then, with the abutment in place, we will attach a temporary restoration. After a smaller healing period, we secure your final restoration to your implant.
- Additional procedures: To qualify for dental implant treatment, patients need ample bone. Unfortunately, most patients with missing teeth lack sufficient bone structure. To rebuild lost bone, you may need to undergo additional procedures, such as a bone graft or sinus lift, to give your implants more room to secure.
These factors all make up the price of dental implants. But many patients can’t afford the out-of-pocket costs that come without insurance. This is where dental implant financing becomes important.
Dental Implant Financing Explained
To afford implant treatment, many patients require some form of financing.
To finance means to fund something. Our form of financing involves partnering with third-party entities to fund your care!

These third-party lenders offer a variety of plans, both short- and long-term, that pay for your treatment upfront. Then, with manageable monthly payments, you can pay off your treatment over time.
