dental implant costs?!?!


Question: Dental implant costs?!?
Hi, I'm looking to get some implants done (approximately 10 in total) and would like a rough estimate as to how much it will cost. I've looked around and have noticed that it is considerably cheaper abroad (I live in the UK). Any helpful information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Tim

I am sorry to say that it definitely won't be cheap. The best thing you can do is shop around, contact a few different dentists and see if there is a difference in price. Good luck.

Cheap is not always the answer to this question. I had five done by an implantologist who did them all the time and nothing else. The whole process took over six months as well. The cost was in the region of 8000 as I had them all done at once.

But as you are considering to have ten done then you have the option of implants to hold a fixed type of denture in place. But you will need a partial or plate to wear whilst the healing takes place as well to cost into it as well.

But going abroad also has the additional cost of flights and accommodation to add. If they can do the whole process on a short time scale then you need to remember that the implants have to settle and fix into the bone long before the crown and visual part is fitted. Remember how long people with fractured bones that are pinned take to recover? It is not a two or three week process.

If you have it done abroad there is no back up available in the UK. NHS and private dentists will not help you over the issues of liability let alone the fact that equipment and systems do not match. Problems do occur with healing as well if you are a smoker.

In the first instance have a talk with your own dentist. Find someone who does it all the time rather than a dentist who does one or two a month. My own dentist sent me elsewhere to have the rods put in and then he finished off the the crowns himself and I an very pleased with the result and the cost. My dentist also saw that I had a scan done before I saw the implantologist so that the bone depth and nerve risk was assessed properly.

Do your research carefully and make an informed choice based not on overall cost but on the long term finished product. You want to look and feel good at the end to justify the cost.



By abroad what do you mean? In USA abroad includes the UK.. LOL

USA ONE implant is in upwards of 5,000 dollars. THATS RIGHT. i said FIVE THOUSAND for one implant.A whole mouth reconstruction in USA ranges around 55,000 to 65,000 if done in one whop. If you do it in sparses it is usually way more.

Why not opt for VALPLAST or PARTIAL FLEX dentures instead? You can even select teeth that resemble pretty much your own if you have beautiful teeth. And no one even suspects. THAT is the truth,

I know a place you can go if you want a referral



You would be able to buy a new Mercedes 330 for the price of that work you have mentioned,
or a fair sized yacht,defiantly a good M/bike,a top of the range Breitling wrist watch go on a cruise,or
you could spend it on booze and birds,and probably waste the rest.....



you should go to doctors immediately.
