A dental implant is a metal post that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. An artificial tooth (crown) is then attached to the metal post. Dental implants are an alternative to dentures or bridges.

Dental implants are made of titanium, a material that is well tolerated by bone and tissue. Titanium has a strong bond with the bone, making it a good choice for dental implants.

The average dental implant cost in Buderim is $3,000 to $4,500. This includes the cost of the implant itself, as well as the surgical procedure to place it. The final cost will also depend on whether you need one or more implants, and whether you need a bone graft.

Types of implants

There are three main types of dental implants: endosteal, subperiosteal, and zygomatic.

Endosteal implants are the most common type of implant. They are placed in the jawbone and are made of metal, ceramic, or composite material. 

Subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum but on or above the jawbone. They are usually used for people who have a shallow jawbone and cannot wear dentures. 

Zygomatic implants are placed in the cheekbone and are used for people who have lost all their teeth in the upper jaw.

The type of implant you need will depend on your individual case. Your dentist will evaluate your mouth and recommend the best option for you.
