Question

Answer 1

I have implants: see my smile in my avatar. I have had both my natural teeth and now my implants. Even though I love my pretty smile it isn't comfortable like ones natural teeth. If I had even the slightest chance to have my own natural teeth I would do what I could to save them. Did you know that even if you did have insurance it wouldn't cover implants? To have the type of implants I have it would run you more than $40,000 and I am not exaggerating. Usually you need to find some type of financing and even care credit which is a credit card for dental issues only advances up to $25,000.

Save your teeth if you can. Dentures are not the route to take either. They do not like to stay seated and people end up living with denture adhesives and kissing feels unnatural with dentures as the roof of the mouth is covered.

I have two implants and have had zero problems with them. No chewing problems as others have stated. But how good can your chewing be now if you have rotten teeth in the back. It must be painful. My two implants, teeth numbers two and twenty cost be about five thousand total. That is with the placement of the implants by an oral surgeon, the healing caps, and the perm. crown that is a-fixed to the implants. I did receive a fifty percent discount on all of my work since I am in the dental field, but still it is expensive. However if you have the money, there is in my opinion no other way to go. I have had zero pain from their placement, to the final crown prep. It has been the best thing that I have ever done. They look just like all of my other teeth and you can't tell the difference without looking at an x-ray. As someone said above most likely implants will not be covered by your insurance. You have to evaluate your dental home-care routine. Are you flossing EVERYDAY, brushing after every meal, etc. If you don't have the dental care routine now. then you should def. get into the habit of using the correct procedures for brushing and flossing. Implants can fail, they are not one hundred percent fail-proof. If you are a smoker, then there is a fifty percent higher chance that the implant will fail. I would suggest to start saving your money now so you can afford the treatment that you want. Best of luck.

As materials and techniques used are fairly sophisticated, there is a cost attached to having implants. However, in terms of quality of life, there is definitely a dramatic improvement for the many people across the world that have benefited from this procedure. The University Dental and Implant Centre’s normal charge is £1800 per tooth inclusive of all pre-treatment consultations and x-rays, crown provision and post-treatment follow-up. If bone grafting is required, this may add up to £200 per implant for simple grafts. For more complex cases, which may involve additional procedures like sinus lifts, larger grafts or multiple implants, your dentist will discuss the costs. Generally, the unit cost will reduce where more than 3 implants are placed. For example, an approximate cost replacing a full upper set of teeth (usually 10 teeth) is around £10,000-13,000.

CT-type scans to give 3-dimensional imaging can cost around £400 per jaw. We may recommend this in complex cases involving many implants. This type of investigation gives us the most accurate and predictable way of planning complex cases.

Please note: the prices indicated above are only a guide and will depend entirely upon the initial assessment. The normal consultation charge for those who are not registered with the practice is £50, inclusive of all x-rays and investigations.

Interest-Free Credit: We now have facilities to help patients with the cost of complex dental treatment by offering interest-free credit for all implant treatment. Please contact the practice for more information.

Basically figure since your in new york, with the cost of living out there, count on anywhere between 2-4 thousand per tooth, so anywhere between $50,000 and $100,000 for full mouth implants, and insurance usually doesn't cover implants unless they are necessary and are not for cosmetic reasons. Plus most dental coverage will only cover $2000 per calander year, and if you're lucky, maybe medical might pick up $5,000. They are not cheap.

Angel, I had a lot of dental work done in Cancun Mexico, AND SAVED A LOT OF MONEY!!!. They see a lot of american and Canadian patients. The price per implant (full procedure) is as low as $1,760 usd. Their dental coordinators (Rod Garza) got me an extra 5% off. Got to their web page there's all the info. Good luck with your procedure!

Answer 6

When I worked for an oral surgeon, the implants were a few hundred dollars per tooth (and dental plans didn't provide much coverage for them unless it is determined a "medical necessity" and goes through your medical insurance instead of dental insurance). They might cost less now, this was several years ago.

Answer 7

well i just had a root canal a few months ago and wasnt sure if i would loose the tooth. they quoted me $3500 for 1 tooth for an implant. to do all your teeth would cost a LOT!! I live in NC so i am sure its probably even more expensive in NY. If it s something you really wan tto do i would suggest trying to find an insurance plan that would cover it and deal with the probation period (usually 6 months to a yr) and then get it done so you have help in the coverage.

Answer 8

Wow, that sucks your having to go through that. My husband and I signed up a few months ago for dental benefits. It will cost you $11.95 a month. This company saves you up to 80% on your dental work. You also get free prescription, free vision and free chiropractic care with your dental.

Our family uses the prescription card the most but I recently broke a tooth and it saved us a few hundred.

Good luck to you
