In this current blog post, you will find a detailed breakdown of the total expenses associated with the complete treatment process, from your initial visit to the moment your dentist places the final crown on your implant.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The first step in getting dental implants is an initial consultation with a qualified specialist. During this appointment, the professional will assess your oral health, discuss treatment goals, and determine your suitability for implants.
The fees for a consultation begin at Ksh. 3,000. X-rays may be performed, with charges starting at Ksh. 5,000. Additionally, intraoral scans can be conducted at this stage, starting from Ksh. 5,000. In the case of additional medical investigations, the applicable fees vary based on the specific test and the facility where the tests will be conducted.
Preparatory Procedures (if necessary)
After assessing your condition, your dentist will create a tailored treatment plan that takes into account various factors, such as missing teeth, the condition of your jawbone, and any necessary procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts.
In cases where your bone or gum is insufficient for implant treatment, grafting may be needed. The cost of these grafts varies depending on the severity of the deficiency. Fees for bone grafts range from Ksh. 50,000 for a small defect to up to Ksh. 190,000 for bone block grafts. The fees for a sinus lift procedure vary, ranging from Ksh. 45,000 for a minor lift to Ksh. 100,000 for a major lift. Gum grafts are typically charged per site, starting at Ksh. 40,000.
As a result, it’s challenging to provide a specific estimate for these grafting procedures, as costs will differ for each case.
Multi-Disciplinary Approach
Certain cases necessitate a collaborative effort from various dental specialists. For instance, orthodontic treatment may be essential to create or close spaces, align teeth, or optimize the bite prior to implant surgery. Additionally, periodontal care for the remaining teeth might be required to address deep pockets, bleeding upon probing, reduce plaque scores, or even perform aesthetic crown lengthening for a cohesive emergence profile. Restorative work may also be vital to enhance the overall dentition, as it plays a crucial role in the design of surgical guides. Our diverse team of specialists, trained at leading dental universities around the world, is dedicated to providing our patients with the most suitable treatment at all times.
Implant Placement Surgery
This stage involves the preparation of a small hole in your jawbone, followed by the insertion of a tiny titanium screw (implant). Depending on your needs, a single implant or multiple implants can be placed to support a crown, bridge, or denture.
Today, the placement of dental implants is facilitated by computer-designed and 3D-printed surgical stents, ensuring precision, efficiency, and safety.
The cost of this procedure depends on the implant brand and the various components necessary for implantation. Generally, the price for a high-quality single dental implant in Nairobi, performed by a qualified implantologist, starts at Ksh. 160,000. For All-on-4 or All-on- 6 implants, the starting price is around Ksh. 1,500,000. When performed at Summit Dental Care, these implants typically come with a guarantee of at least five years.
Final Restoration / Crown
An implant-supported dental crown or bridge can be fabricated from a variety of materials, including:
- All-ceramic/porcelain for a natural appearance
- Solid zirconia for exceptional durability
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal for a blend of strength and aesthetics
For All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants, the denture is reinforced with a titanium bar to enhance its longevity.
The cost of a final restoration, therefore, varies based on the chosen material. Typically, a high- quality single implant crown is priced at around Ksh. 60,000, which includes a three-year guarantee.
Post-Treatment Care
Once your dental implant treatment has been completed, it’s important to maintain excellent oral hygiene habits and schedule regular dental check-ups. For maintenance visits, the fees vary based on the services provided, starting from Ksh. 5,000 for a basic check-up to Ksh.
20,000 for a comprehensive assessment.
This comprehensive visit could include x-rays, thorough cleaning, and the replacement of certain screws and other worn-out components if you have implant-supported bridges or dentures.
