I'm going through Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas. I was told today that it is possible that I will have to wait 6 months to be assigned to a graduate, not undergraduate with a professional overlooking them. It will be approximately $1500 a tooth. I need 3. It will be under $500 more if I need a sinus lift. I'm excited and can hardly wait. Although they are upper back molars, one one my left side and 2 on my right side....I am so self conscious to smile big. I'm anxious.
Be glad you don't have insurance! They hit you up hard if you have it. After thousands of dollars out of my pocket, not counting what my insurance pay, I got dentures, two implants on the bottom, after 7 months still waiting for permanents, Wish I had walked in and said I have no insurance!!! a friend in florida, got the permanant, top and bottom, beautiful teeth and paid 1/2 what I paid and she got 4 implants on bottom! she had no insurance.
@moonbean15a - Sounds like you got a bad deal :( But remember! Your permanent dentures (when you get them) should be much better. And an implant-stabilized denture like yours is still FAR more comfortable than a standard "loose" denture.
Dentists in Canada? We're in beautiful Oologah, Oklahoma!
Insurance payments vary widely on this sort of procedure; some pay for a significant portion, some don't. We work with our patients to maximize benefits by spreading out treatment and so on; in the end, you just have to ask yourself: do I want a floppy and painful denture, or the most attractive, effective teeth available?
These teeth aren't cheap, but our patients' think they're worth the price!
Extractions are about 2,500 dollars alone for all uppers,then the transitional denture around 300-600.Then 13,200 for implants and teeth. How in the world do you dentists in Canada figure someone with an average income, family/house/bills to pay can afford for these procedures??That is crazy!Insurance will cover 1/2 of extractions if you are lucky.If you dentists would bring the cost to half of that,maybe you would get 10 times the amount of patients wanting implants!I
$30-40,000 for 32 teeth means the cost is about $940-1,250 per tooth - not $3,000! Sure, it's more expensive than standard dentures - but dentures give about 10% of tooth function. These give about 90%!
@hartwick199 I am 44, need this procedure, but the quotes I have received for a full upper and lower arch is $50-65,000 here in the Atlanta area. I am positive I will have this done, don't want to "shop it," but am terrified to have someone do this for less money that may not be as well versed in the procedure. I really wished I knew what the answer was to that question! I don't need any extractions or bone grafts, just the straight forward procedure.
@chifour66 so how did that work out?? Im in Cali and I got a "Bottom Line" quote from a chain called "Clear Choice Denta" which Im about a week away from doin but getn cold feet kinda so Im askn around.
Our materials cost for this type of procedure starts at about $15,000 and can go up rapidly depending on the quality desired. That is for materials alone - the specialized equipment needed costs many thousands more.
@sirtinycreep So true! Even if the materials cost 15.000 and the whole procedure costs 30.000, they still make 15.000 profit in about one hour...imagine ;)

No way can they justify that cost. It's an hour's job at the most. The materials only cost around $100!
