Don't expect dental implants to be inexpensive; it might cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace all your missing teeth, or to supply you with a complete new set. However, in some cases your insurance policy will cover at least some of the costs. Take a close look at your policy.

If you've got problems with your upper back jaw and can't easily get dental implants, one solution is sinus augmentation. This process will raise the sinus floor and help develop bone that the dental surgeon can use for emplacing your dental implants.

Dental implants average $2,000-4,000 each. However, if you've suffered bone deterioration or need sinus augmentation to serve as a basis for the implants, you can expect them to cost much more. To get your mouth just the way you want it, you may have to pay as much as $30,000.
