Thinking about dental implants usually starts with one big question: How much is this going to cost me? It’s a fair place to begin. Dental work isn’t something you buy off a shelf, and the price can feel mysterious until someone actually breaks it down for you. The truth is that the cost depends on your unique situation, your oral health, and the kind of support your smile needs. What surprises many people is that one style of implant approaches treatment a little differently. Mini dental implants streamline much of the process, opening the door to faster appointments, easier healing, and—often—a more affordable solution.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of dental implant treatment varies from patient to patient. Every smile is unique, and so is the care it requires. Several factors influence the final price, but the complexity of the case is one of the biggest considerations. For example, if a patient needs additional procedures such as bone grafting, sinus lifts, or extractions, these steps can increase the overall cost. These treatments are sometimes necessary to create a healthy foundation for the implant and ensure long-term success.
Mini dental implants, however, offer a more streamlined and affordable alternative. These implants measure less than 3 millimeters in diameter and are significantly smaller than traditional implants. This reduced size allows Dr. Coolican to place them with less disturbance to the bone and gum tissue. As a result, mini implants are typically less invasive. Most patients do not need bone grafts or extensive surgery because the smaller implants require less jawbone density. In many cases, they can even be placed in a single visit with minimal healing time.
That simplicity also contributes to a faster procedure and shorter recovery. Since mini implants are considered less complex, the overall treatment cost is usually lower. For patients who may not qualify for traditional implants due to bone loss or other health concerns, mini dental implants can offer a practical, cost-effective solution.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Implants?
It’s completely natural to ask, “Will my insurance cover this?” The honest answer is—we don’t always know right away. Dental insurance coverage for implants can vary widely depending on your plan and provider. In many cases, implants aren’t included as a standard benefit, and some plans offer only partial coverage or exclude them unless they’re medically necessary.
That said, we’re here to help you navigate the process. We’ll gladly submit your claim and work to maximize any benefits you’re entitled to. If your insurance doesn’t cover implants, we also partner with financing providers to help make your treatment more manageable and affordable.
What Is Included in a Free Consultation?
Your dental implant journey should feel comfortable and informed from the very beginning. That’s why we offer a complimentary consultation. It gives you every opportunity to explore your options and make confident decisions about your care.
During your visit, we’ll take time to review your medical and dental history and perform a 3D CBCT scan. This advanced imaging technology provides a detailed view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding soft tissues. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT scans create high-resolution, three-dimensional images that allow us to evaluate your oral anatomy with exceptional precision. These images also help you see what we see, which makes it easier to understand your treatment plan and stay involved in the decision-making process.
Dr. Coolican will personally examine you and walk you through the treatment options that best suit your needs. You’ll also be able to see and handle physical models of the procedures we recommend, giving you a clear idea of what to expect. If you’re considering financing, we can help with the application process and guide you through the next steps.
Our goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident as you take the next step toward restoring your smile.
