Dental Implant Costs \nHow much do dental implants cost?\nDental implants can be a costly procedure. An entire team of professionals are needed to deliver a long-lasting smile. Implant procedures demand a great deal of the doctor's and staff's time and effort. The prosthodontist intensely studies your health profile, and then develops a plan to meet your unique needs. Additionally, surgical staff and the laboratory perform several services to produce the desired result. The materials used to construct implant prosthodontics are also very expensive. Bone grafting, if needed, is additionally costly.\n\nWhile a basic implant is typically $1,250. to $3,000., depending on your circumstances additional costs for things such as in the case of a posterior mandible, bone regeneration, sinus elevation, and wide diameter or narrow diameter implants quickly escalate to as much as $15,000 to $30,000. for the complete procedure for the upper or lower jaw.\n\n \n\nhttp://www.aboutcosmeticdentistry.com/procedures/dental_implants/cost.html

I just got  braces two weeks ago, and it is costing me $4200.00.    That includes all visits and anything that has to do with them the entire time I am wearing them. It also includes the retainer to wear afterwards, and the whitening process that everyone gets afterwards too.  There are less expenisve dentists,  but you should remember that you get what you pay for.

Prices vary depending on where about you are in the UK, and whether you are getting private treatment or NHS treatment. They should give you a quote before doing the work! But I wouldn't imagine it cost more than £600 for the treatment. The fillings wil be cheap if you fo for the silver ones. Otherwise the white ones will cost approx £65-£100 (they are not available on the NHS hence why they are so expensive). as for the chipped tooth, that will depend on how severly it is chipped. And where abouts in your mouth the chipped tooth is.

Be aware not everyone is eligible for implants no matter how much money they have. Poor gums/infection are 2 reasons to defer implants. It is not so simple to say "just give me implants ". If your teeth are rotting out of your mouth, go to a dentist to evaluate you !\nRN in Ca.

$1300.00  there is the problem, thats too cheap.\n\nYou must have some kind of HMO.  \n\nMost dentist will tell you if the tooth may need further work.  But maybe we can get away with a filling. We'll just have to see how the tooth responds.  Every now and then a tooth does still suprise me and die for no reason that I can think of.  so we usually do the root canal then the crown if all things are good for a few weeks.\n\nPatients hate surprises so we try to cover all the possible risks when they are expected.

part of the price depends on your zip code.  bigger cities have bigger prices.  i usually tell patients to expect about $3000 out of posket mainly because insurance rarely covers implants.  i'd say you didn't get the best deal but you were'nt unfairly charged.

They really don't get that high of pay considering what their overhead and education cost.  The education alone can cost well over 100 grand.  Add this to start-up costs and you have a struggling professional like many of us non-dentists.  For example the sensor for a digital x-ray system alone can cost around fifteen thousand.  This is for the sensor only.  You have the cost of the computer systems, software, people who install it, and the x-ray machine which can cost twenty thousand and more.  I know of several dentists that have been doing dentistry for about five years who are still only breaking even on many months.  The money comes after you have been practicing a long time and are able to pay-off your loans for equipment and building or rental costs.  My instrument set-up to scale and clean people's teeth is about 150 dollars per set.  I use a new sterilized set on each person.  I have about ten instrument set-up's.  You do the math.  These instruments have to be replaced about every six months depending on how heavy the patient load is.  One instrument alone can cost twenty-five dollars.  A box of prophy paste costs about fifty dollars.  The dentist also has to pay his staff, as the dental assistant mentioned.  He has to carry building insurance, malpractice insurance, disability insurance, etc.  He/she has to pay for someone to fix the equipment when it breaks down, minimum a hundred dollars an hour just for showing up.  This does not even include the parts or labor for the equipment.  I could go on and on, but you should get the point.  Dentistry is expensive to the patient, because it is expensive to the dentist.

I think they have package programs where you can get 20 teeth implants for $15,000\n\n   But tooth transplants can have long term rejection.  That means that in like 10-15 years they may get inflamed & need to be replaced again.

Yes it is too much, I worked for a dentist and a gold crown was 895. It is outrageous, shop around. If your insurance is participating, normally they would pay half. If you're going to pay full price shop around and go to another office!

To get it done properly will cost few thousand pounds. On NHS I really wouldn`t recommend it if you want to look good and chew comfortably in the future. If you want good looking braces add a few hundred to the fee...

Probably not, but I'm not a dentist, so don't take that literally.  Best bet would be to call your dentist and ask.  Also, I believe teeth whitening runs about $300.  \n\nI would recommend trying the Crest Teeth Whitening strips for a couple weeks and see how that goes.  That should run you around $30-40.

It really does depend....\n\nIf you want something really cheap, try going to a dental school and see if they have a clinic. When I was in school, the clinic was charging 35.00 for a new-patient visit. That was for an initial check-up and x-rays.

The cost depends on the type of crown. There are 3 types:\n\n1.Metal Dental Crowns are made of gold alloy, palladium, nickel alloy, or chromium alloy. Metal dental crowns\nare ideal for and often used on the back teeth.\n\n2. Ceramic Dental Crowns look like normal teeth and are ideal for use on the front teeth.\n\n3. Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) Dental Crowns are stronger than ceramic crowns and also look like normal teeth. Like ceramic dental crowns, PFM dental crowns are ideal for use on the front teeth. \n\n\nAs well, it depends on if you have dental benefits. Myself, I would pay 10% of whatever the cost. So, probaly less than $50.00

Hi!\nThe cost depends very much on where you are and is the dental office nice or not really!I work in a dental office and for example a root can. on a front tooth costs $450, you might need whats called a post after that on this teeth and that goes for $200 a piece.The bridge you said will be a 5 unit bridge,that means the price of 5 crowns combined,here that will be $3750.Of course all this is cash prices,assuming you don't have insurance.If you already have one that will greatly reduce your cost!!!\nI recommend you talk to your dentist about the cost of all this before you start it.Usually when an extensive work like that is needed,they might give you a discount,or ask about payment plans which will allow you to make monthly payments to the dental office for an extended period of time!\nI am sure that after everything is completed you will have a great, even and bright smile and all will be worth it!Good luck!:)))
