Why is there a cost difference between immediate and delayed dental implants?

Doctor's Answer

Getting immediate implants sometimes is more costly because it involves computer-guided surgical planning.

It involves more procedures done in one visit, more bone grafting, and immediate implants. So it's those few implants on that build.

If you are going to get sedated that's an extra item on the bill because the anaesthetist will have to come into sedate the patient for the surgery.

There are basically more items on the bills and the immediate implants are more costly compared to delayed implants.

But for the delayed surgery, it may still be the same.

The costs for the implant whether immediate or delayed it may end up very well similar, it's just whether you spend the money upfront at the beginning or delayed fashion.
