Dental implants should belong to medical cosmetic surgery, not to basic oral diseases. If dental implants are included in medical insurance, the medical insurance cost is unaffordable with such a huge population base. Medical insurance should match the level of economic development, and the money of medical insurance should be invested in these seriously ill and basic patients, so as to reflect the significance of medical insurance for people's livelihood. Many people who have seen dentists think it is too expensive, especially dental implants. Rob money? Not bad. Why is it so expensive to see a dentist?

First, medical materials are expensive. The most expensive thing in dental implant surgery is the material cost, which accounts for 30%. The most difficult thing for dental implants is to let inanimate materials directly contact with living tissues, and many reactions will occur during the contact process, such as inflammation or corrosion. The best way to solve this problem is to use metallic titanium. When titanium comes into contact with soft tissue and bone tissue, it can self-modify the surface of the object so that we won't think it is a foreign body. It seems that this titanium metal should be here. Metal titanium has a high melting point and is not easy to form, so it is basically imported. Technology monopoly and tariffs have made today's high prices.

Secondly, the cost of dental implant surgery accounts for 30%, and the stability after implant repair is the most important thing. Every link and detail may affect the balance of the implant surface, from the design and manufacture of the implant to the implantation of the implant in the patient's alveolus, and finally to whether the patient is used to it after implantation. This process takes about three to six months.

Finally, the hospital operating costs are expensive, accounting for 25%. Implantation technology needs to be equipped with many large-scale equipment, such as X-ray diagnostic equipment, mechanical equipment, clinical surgical equipment, hemogram analysis, ECG monitoring and so on. And some expensive repair materials are needed when making dentures. Moreover, the hospital also has relatively supporting facilities, so it will charge operating expenses.
