Implants are a very expensive option. Bridges are much cheaper. I don't know if you'll be able to get implants for cheap. Contact the dental school you are interested in going to and find out.

Dental students are always an option depending on what your area offers but a better long term fit would be getting yourself on AmeriPlan. You can get coverage for $11.95 a month and the dentist doesn't need to worry about filing any claim forms or having to get preauthorization. It will save you money too.
One of my customers just saved over $600 last week on a dental procedure!
Go to:
http://www.qualitymedicalcare.org and see what dentists are in your area by clicking on Locate a provider. You can apply for benefits online as well at the same site by clicking on Join Now!
Good luck, I hope this helps!

Implants cost close to 5 grand apiece. you can get partials for 1,250 to 1,500. They have to put crowns on theimplant after you get them. It is not just 2,500 for the implant. They charge for the healing collar, redoing it if need be, and them you go to the regular dentist for the crowns at 1,00 to 1500 apiece . You can get the partials now, and start saving for the rest of the work. Very very few insurance companies pay for implants or the crowns that go in them.

BRIANA,
BEING A SINGLE MOM YOU'RE ALWAYS THINKING HOW TO MAKE THE MONEY STRETCH FURTHER.
UNFORTUNATELY, IMPLANTS ARE A DENTAL LUXURY EVEN THOSE WITH SOME MONEY CAN'T AFFORD.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED TREATMENT AT A DENTAL SCHOOL?
WHY?
THE TREATMENT IS FIRST CLASS BY DENTISTS WHO SUPERVISE DENTISTS-TO-BE. ALL THE TREATMENT IS FIRST RATE. THE COST IS LOWER THAN PRIVATE DENTISTS.
THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS BESIDES IMPLANTS.

insurance usually doesn't cover dental implants so it wouldn't matter anyway if you had insurance. 4 to 5 grand each. x 7 is around 35 grand, I guess you know all this already.

yes they do, but be cautious, they are idiots.
