Cost of custom jaw implants?

Question

Hello! I would like to know the cost of CUSTOM jaw implants. I am interested in JAW ANGLE IMPLANTS that can add lateral width to the BACK of the jaw. Also how successful are off the shelf jaw implants ?

Cost factors vary significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:

1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.
  
 2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?
     
       3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
    
       4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed during the same surgery?

Thanks for your post. Implantech, Inc. makes a wide selection of excellent anatomically correct and well manufactured implants for this area. Most are placed via and intra-oral incision and secured with titanium screws. Implantech also can produce custom silastic implants via a CAD-Cam or CT. Naturally the expense of custom implants are much higher though. The standard Taylor Mandibular Angle Style implants should work well for most cases. Consult with an experienced specialist for recommendations. Best wishes.

The implants are very successful in general. The angle of the jaw has to blend into the mid portion and chin properly however, in order to achieve a natural balanced look. Implants can be contoured at surgery and literally hand carved rather than relying upon standard sizes. As well, one does not really benefit from fancy xray determinations of size since xrays do not show the soft tissue contour but only the bone. You need an experienced surgeon. The cost varies dependent upon the extent of the augmentation.
