Models: The Diagnostic Consultation: Dental Implant Cost / Prices
Diagnostic study models are made from impressions of the dental implant patient's upper and lower jaws. These models are mounted on an articulator to show how the dental implant patient distributes occlusion force (bites), which gives the dental implant dentist an idea of how many, and how large, the replacement teeth need to be. The models can be used to create wax teeth that replace the missing teeth. The dental implants usually go immediately below the replacement teeth that the dental implants support. After the positions of the replacement teeth are determined using wax recreations, then the best position of the dental implants can be determined — Average cost to the patient: $20 per tooth.

The overall fee for the dental implant diagnostic consultation visit ranges from $0 to $500 depending on the clinical and diagnostic needs of the particular patient.
