Many people want to know how to find cheap dental implants or more affordable dental implants alternatives. That's because dental implants are the longest-lasting and most natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. But how expensive are dental implants? Just a single implant can cost upwards of $3,500 in the US.
Although you shouldn't make a decision based purely on cost, we know it's an important consideration, and full dental implants cost a lot more than a single. So if you or a loved one need to replace missing teeth but are concerned about the high cost of teeth implants, we hope you can find a solution here which makes inexpensive dental implants a reality.

Implants: the basics
Before we talk about the ways to find low-cost dental implants, we'll quickly go over what exactly a tooth implant is and how it is placed.
The term ‘implant' refers to the titanium screw inserted into the jaw bone, where the tooth root would usually be. An abutment is placed on top of this, then a tooth crown (synthetic tooth) is attached to the abutment. However, when people refer to a tooth implant they often mean the entire structure, including the abutment and crown.
Implant procedure
The process for placing an implant is as follows:
Consultation with an oral surgeon, prosthodontist, or periodontist to confirm you are a suitable candidate for implants; this includes x-rays and/or scans of your mouth
Cost estimate provided
Extraction of any teeth that are being replaced
Bone graft or sinus lift surgery (if required)
Placement of implant; site stitched over and left to heal
Installation of abutment, plus a temporary crown, if provided
Dental impressions for creation of tooth crown
Fitting of crown
This entire process can take up to a year because of the healing time required at each stage. For patients who don't require teeth extractions or surgery, it will be a little quicker (and cheaper). Some periodontists may place the implant and abutment on the same day, also called same-day dental implants, which also shortens the overall procedure.
Your experience will vary depending on your overall oral health, the number and position of implants required, and the type of implant you choose.
Go abroad for cheap dental implants
Dental tourism has become a popular option for those looking for inexpensive dental implants. Dental Clinics in Armenia offer treatments at a fraction of the price they could cost in the US. For example, the price for one Astra Tech Implant (made by Dentsply Sirona) in the US is from 3000$ to 4500$ and the same implant will cost you 480$ in Armenia. The same can be said regarding Zirconia Crowns, Veneers and other dental services!

Don't assume that you have to compromise on quality in order to get these lower prices; you may actually find that standards are higher, equipment is more advanced, and service is better than you'd experience at home.
When done well, traveling overseas for implants can bring substantial savings, even if you only need a single implant. If you need several implants or full mouth treatment and are looking for the cheapest place to get dental implants, we strongly recommend you consider dental treatment in Armenia.
