Cost of Ridge Augmentation?

Question

I will need a front upper tooth removed, a block bone graft put in place along with bone particulates and then a gum graft put over the bone implant. Since most, or if not all, dental insurance plans do not offer coverage of this type of procedure since it is classified as Cosmetic, what are the overall costs for a procedure such as this? i am worried that it might be in the range of $10-$20K? Please tell me differently.

Paul D. Kantor, DDS · Answer

This really isn't cosmetic, no matter what an insurance company says. Whitening or veneers are cosmetic, not bone augmentation. Fees for this will vary, depending on where you live. Your best bet is to talk to a few board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, to get a sense of what the price range is in your area. Oral surgeons can sometimes bill medical insurance as well as dental, so you should ask about this as well.

First it's not cosmetic in nature the procedure is necessary to restore correctly... The fee for the block graft between 2000-4,000.00 and the tissue graft around 2K then the implant 1000-2000.00 and then implant post 400-900.00 and implant crown between 1200.00-1900.00 good luck
