Low Cost Dental Implants

by Joseph K.

Where can I find low cost dental implants?
My dentist said that my only option at this point is to go for surgery and have dental implants put in my upper jaw.

Since I am missing 3 teeth the cost is going to be very high.
I really need this surgery and i'm looking for low cost dental implants.
Any suggestions ?
I read somewhere that I can go to a university or dental school and be an "experiment" where dental students practice on me and they get to practice and I get my treatment for free or for a very low cost!
Is that true or just a myth?
thanks

Joseph

Hi
like mentioned - allways check the price for the full complete tooth - that includes the implant and the the crown.
Many dentists like to play around with the price - one would say $500 for the implant - but when you need to put the crown on top of it he will charge another $2500 so the toatl is $3000 for a complete tooth on an implant.
other dentists will just tell you $1500 for the implant and another $1500 for the crown - and this is the same as the first option!
So - ask the price for the full treatment!

It's like the joke with the guy that wants to buy shoes he really likes.
And the sales man says it's on a really big sale - the left shoe is only $5 !!!
Wow says the customer -
" How much for the right shoe? "...
"The right one is not on sale - so it's $95...." he answers

We offer $1,600 implants including the highest quality zirconium crowns and top notch specialists just across the border from Laredo, TX.

You'll drive or fly domestic to Laredo, TX, and have surgery done that same day just across the border. After staying that night at the Residence Inn on the US side, you'll come in the morning to the clinic for a last check and you'll be ready to go back home. All ground transportation taken care of.

A three day second trip is required two months later to place a customized, high quality crown.

ClearChoice is costly, but fast and expertly done!
by: Mr. Dirt-Poor Happy-Smile

$3,900 per tooth at ClearChoice, it's a franchise that uses a patented process nobody else seems to know or understand (at least in my town) and they have a bunch of locations nationwide.

Cost is on the very high end of the scale, but everything is done in-house and there's no waiting for 6 months to over a year like my other implant. ClearChoice attached my new-porcelain tooth/crown the very same day they drilled into my jawbone, installed the Procera Zirconia post/abutment and placed the porcelain tooth and I was able to eat and smile (finally!) the very same day I went in.

They did it all in about 3 hours flat, you're in-and-out before you know it. The only downside to Clear Choice implants is that glaring cost, I mean a $1,000+ an hour pay, who do you know that earns a thousand dollars or more per hour?

Clear Choice doctors are good and seem to know their stuff though I admit there were some areas they seemed biased about (which I think are narrow contraints put on them by ClearChoice as a franchise, and not their own best-practice from experience) but I digress.

When I was at my local branch for a ClearChoice tour (check site, they give guided tours of the facilites without any sales pressure) they had nine people there in various stages of partial and full-mouth implant surgery, it's a near human assembly-line of implant procedures, but they treat you like royalty for the short time you're under the knife and bone drill (and they should for what they charge!)

But for the ease of dental implantation these guys make an otherwise long and exhausting ordeal, I would probably go there again knowing what I know about the location we have here. The Dr. who did my implant is a top-notch expert in his field, I independently researched his name and American Dental Association ID# online and was more impressed each time I did a Google search.

Anyway, if you need an immediately functioning, same-day implant and have a spare 3-5 grand to blow, ClearChoice.com is your ticket! Full mouth denture-implants (upper/lower) is around fifty thousand dollars (yes= $50,000.00!!) I priced them for full-mouth just for the hell of it. Way outta my league.

Implants done at dental school are a very good...
by: Anonymous

I agree that implants are extremely over priced, in the private sector. Implants done at dental school are a very good way to go especially if they are done by a resident in oral surgery, not a dental student. Residents already are licensed dentists, but are going on to specialize in oral surgery for 2-3 years.

Ask what year of residency they are in to help in your determination. They are under the supervision of an attending dentist or oral surgeon who evaluates your overall treatment plan with the resident. Costs can be significantly lower. I have had much of my own complex dental work done by students with very good results.

Also, there are many good dentists in Mexico (DO YOUR RESEARCH) that charge about $800 for an implant vs $2000 in the U,S. and $350 for a crownvs $1,000 If the dentist is trained in the U.S. you can check their credentials. No matter who you decide to go with, ask a lot of questions and research your options thoroughly.

Hope this helps?

Check Out Georgia Implants
by: No Dents

I went to Clear Choice. Too expensive.

I found w.georgiaimplants.com

I know it says Georgia but you can be living anywhere. They are a great dental referral services for dental implant clinics in Costa Rica.

They say all their services are free and it is true.

The guy I worked with was about my age and knew a lot about the whole implant procedure.

I replaced dentures that I had hated for years. Got the deluxe package, full mouth, for $19,500 - 16 implants 28 zirconium crowns - Wow!! Changed my whole life.

You do have to add about $2,500 air and hotel. Also I did have to spend 2 weeks there.

You can get great dental in Costa Rica at a fraction of the cost. Georgia Implants helped make it all possible.
