Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants

In order to provide clear and useful information up front, we provided some examples of how you can replace just one or up to ALL of your missing teeth. Every option presented (below in the chart), can be upgraded in the future such as placing more implants and upgrading from resin to ceramic teeth. Just let us know, as we’re always glad to help.

Keep in mind that all teeth we make are shown to you, prior to placing them in your mouth, so that you can verify the look before it’s done. We use an in-house laboratory to customize these teeth just for you. Every person is unique…and your teeth should be as well. We strive to make the custom-crafted teeth look natural so that you can smile with confidence.

At Kravitz Dentistry, we don’t want a lack of flexible payment options to be the reason why you have to continue living with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures. While some patients prefer to pay up front, you may require a payment plan that fits within your monthly budget. By popular demand, we are happy to share the following four monthly plans which make it possible for you to finally get dental implants:

Other Questions You May Have…

How much does the 3 Minute Implant cost?
We realize that financial considerations are important to most patients. We strive to keep cost to the least amount necessary to accomplish your oral health goals. Dr. Kravitz performs the 3 Minute Implant 20 times outside your mouth. The 21st time is inside your mouth. The fee for each dental implant is $2,100. That’s $100 per surgery. That’s great value for the time invested by Dr. Kravitz.

What method of payment do you accept?
We have found that if you have the means to pay for the procedures yourself, it is always best. The next best method of payment is with personal credit cards such as Visa, Master Card, Discover, or American Express.

If the first 2 methods of payment are not available to you, then we offer financing through a health care company called Care Credit. They offer low monthly payments up to 5 years at an interest rate of 14.9%. There is no prepayment penalty. This provides you with the means to still invest in your oral health and be able to afford the payments as well.

Does my dental insurance cover the cost?
It depends. If your company has negotiated contractually to cover costs associated with dental implants, then yes they may help defray the cost. We have found it best for you to ask your insurance carrier to discover if they provide benefits for dental implants. If your carrier does provide coverage for dental implants, the insurance company will reimburse you for your benefits.

If cost is the primary concern and you have a lot of free time:
If cost is the primary concern, then explore the local dental schools such as the University of Maryland in Baltimore, MD and Howard University in Washington, DC (fees are about 30% less). Dental students will be glad to assist you once you have an appointment.

Several years ago, my periodontist recommended that I consider having several implants to correct long standing dental disease conditions. More importantly, he strongly recommended I employ Dr. Joseph Kravitz based on his personal knowledge of Kravitz’ expertise and skill in this area.
I followed his advice, and from the time of my initial contacts through years of having experienced his results, I have never had reason to doubt the wisdom of choosing Joe Kravitz to re-engineer my mouth back to health following years of neglect. Although I initially did not look forward to these procedures with pleasure, I must say that the end results proved to be as promised, there was never any serious discomfort, and the entire procedure was completed over a very few months, far sooner than if I had chosen an alternative. I strongly endorse Dr. Kravitz and his professional services, and would not hesitate recommending his clinic for any dental restoration projects.

Dr. Kravitz and his staff have a way of making what could be a very unpleasant and painful experience anywhere else, one that is actually informative, enjoyable and pain-free. I appreciate his impressive credentials and years of experience, but even more than that, I appreciate Dr. Kravitz’s caring nature, his ethics, and his ability to make his patients feel at ease and well-informed. Growing up a “military brat,” I changed dentists every few years, so I have seen and felt the spectrum of quality, expertise, personalities and care. I can honestly say that Dr. Kravitz and his staff provide the highest quality care, they make every patient feel like their only patient. After finding this wonderful team, I will never change dentists again.
