Affordable Los Angeles Dental Implants

Many people hate their removable dentures. They don't fit right, their mouth is always sore, they come loose at embarrassing times, and they can't chew well. Many of these people would love to have dental implants but they feel they need affordable dental implants.

Dr. Robert Thein of La Crescenta, California, in Los Angeles County, tries hard to provide affordable dental implants. He keeps his fees reasonable, and he will offer you a variety of options, and has payment plans available. While he provides world-class care for complex cases involving full-mouth dental implant reconstruction, he understands that this level of care doesn't fit everyone's budget. And he and his staff encourage patients to ask questions about fees and to be sure that they completely understand his treatment plans.

Affordable Dental Implants Options

There are two possible options for affordable care.

One is with the use of mini-implants. Mini implants are 1/3 the diameter of standard fixtures. The smaller diameter means that the surgery is easier, the healing is faster, and all of this saves on the costs. The cost is approximately half of what standard fixtures would be. But dentists need to be very careful in using these mini-implants, because they are not as strong, and proper placement is important to treatment that lasts.

For more information about this option, please see our mini-implants page.

A second option is Snap-on Dentures. The cost of dental implants is proportional to the number of implants being placed. If you are interested in affordable treatment, be careful about price-shopping. Quality implant fixtures are expensive. There are cheap alternatives, but they will end up costing more in the long run.

A Warning about Affordable Dental Implants

Many people call around looking for the lowest price for dental implants. People have limitations to their budget, so this is understandable. But you need to beware. There are many things that can go wrong with this treatment, and the bad thing is that you won't know anything is wrong until several years after the treatment is finished. The fixtures may become loose or infected. Sometimes the implants simply fall out. If this happens to you, what you thought was affordable is suddenly going to become very expensive. See our page on dental implant failure to learn about the things that can go wrong. Beware, especially, of the office offering the lowest fee. The best way to lower fees is to cut corners with treatment. And this can be very tempting for a dentist because the consequences may not be apparent to the patient until several years down the road.

Placing fewer dental implants, however, is a reasonable way to limit the cost and still receive quality treatment. A denture can be stabilized pretty well by simply placing two dental implants as shown in the photograph on the right.

The denture then has these snaps placed in it. There are flexible o-rings placed in the snaps, and this holds the denture in the mouth.
