5 Key Facts About the Cost of Dental Implants in Winston-Salem

If you are considering dental implants to replace missing teeth, understanding the true cost is essential. Implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement—durable, natural-looking, and designed to last for decades. While the upfront investment may seem higher, they can be more cost-effective long term than options that need replacing every few years.

Here are 5 things every Winston-Salem patient should know about dental implant costs:

  1. Your Treatment Plan Determines the Price
    The cost depends on how many teeth you need to replace and whether you need procedures like bone grafting or extractions beforehand. Replacing one tooth is less complex—and less costly—than full-mouth restoration.

  2. Dental Implants Are Custom-Tailored
    No two treatment plans are the same. Dr. Nelson will perform a comprehensive evaluation, including x-rays and digital imaging, to create a plan that fits your unique smile needs.

  3. Financing Options Are Available
    We offer interest-free payment plans through our dental office and Lending Club financing to help fit dental implants into your budget.

  4. Insurance May Cover Part of Your Treatment
    While dental insurance doesn’t always cover the full cost of implants, our team will help you maximise any available benefits to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

  5. Pay-in-Full Discounts Are Offered
    For patients ready to move forward, we provide discounts for pre-paid treatments—making your investment in your smile even more manageable.

Your Guide to Dental Implants

Tooth loss affects millions of people worldwide. More than 120 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth, and more than 36 million Americans don't have any teeth, according to the American College of Prosthodontists. Dental implants are considered the gold standard of tooth replacements because they are like natural teeth in appearance and function. Unlike conventional dentures or dental bridges, a dental implant replaces the entire tooth, from root to crown, ensuring maximum stability.
