Dental Implant: questions
How much does dental implant cost in Gauteng?
Most Gauteng dentists charge about R15,000–R30,000+ for dental implant per implant. Price depends on whether a bone graft is needed, whether the crown and abutment are included in the quote. The dentist confirms the exact cost after examining you.
Does medical aid cover it?
Many medical aid plans pay little or nothing towards implants, or only on higher plans with pre-authorisation. Ask the practice for a full written quote first.
Does getting an implant hurt?
It is done under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during placement. Mild swelling and tenderness for a few days afterwards is common.
Can anyone get an implant?
You need enough healthy jawbone and healthy gums. Smoking and some medical conditions affect healing, so the dentist will assess you first.
