Dental Implant Costs - Consider ALL the factors.
Prior to Permanent-Teeth-In-a-Day, traditional dental implant solutions for the restoration of an entire mouth of teeth could easily cost in the range of $80,000 dollars and the actual treatment plans could easily take up to a full year – especially if bone grafting was required. In comparison, the Permanent-Teeth-In-a-Day technique is significantly less money and the procedure can usually be performed in just one day*. There are one or two short, preliminary appointments that are required so that you can work with our team to design your new teeth.
Here is an important checklist that you should review with any provider PRIOR to starting treatment:
The Happy Patient Checklist
We believe that an educated patient is our best patient so we have prepared the following list to help you shop for your dental implant solution – it’s always important to make sure you are comparing apples with apples.
- Will I receive a detailed, written, treatment plan that clearly explains exactly what is and what is not included in the price I am paying?
- Is IV sedation available? Is there an additional fee?
- How many dental implants will I receive?
- How many follow up appointments will be required
- Are there any fees associated with the various follow up appointments? What about hygiene appointments (cleaning)?
- Is there anything at all that I will have to pay for, other than what has been stated, to complete the treatment?
- What is the likelihood that bone grafting be required? If it is required, is there an additional fee?
- Do more than 95% of patients have their new teeth affixed to their dental implants on the same day the implants are placed
- What happens if things don’t go according to plan?
- If there are any complications with the dental implants (for whatever reason) and they require replacement, who pays to replace them? For how long? Does this include labor costs as well as parts costs?
