I had an appointment with a dental implant office located in Chicago. They will put in four implants and attach an appliance. I will return in 6 to 9 months with periodic check-ups and at the end of 6 or 9 mo., they will then put in final appliance. They would like the entire amount paid up front. I am uncomfortable with this procedure as I have been in the business world many years and I know of no business that requires up front payment. What is your opinion on this payment method?

Answer: Methods of payment In our clinic, we charge for procedure received or done. We don't charge the whole treatment as it always has different stages. I don't find necessary to charge the whole thing right away but every Doctor has his own way of working.

Answer: Paying for All-On-4 Thank you for your great question.Sounds like you are talking about All-On-Four. If so, that's how long the whole treatment takes. I am sure you can negotiate paying first part at the beginning and a second part before starting a phase II.Good luck.

Answer: Dental implant cost. If you go and buy a car the manufacturer gets paid when you pick up the car, the car payments are made with a third party financing company. So there is an example of a business that requires up front payment. In fact most businesses require upfront payments, the milk in the grocery store, the jeans in the mall, your car, your house... then why not life changing dental surgery??

Answer: Dental implant prices and high cost Every dental office is different and sets its own policies. Most businesses however ask for payment up front. Did you ever try to leave a garage before paying for the car repair? Have you left a store with shoes and clothes without paying first? Or how about when buying a car? You sign your life away before driving off the lot and even if you leasing the dealer gets paid up front by the bank. Many dentists don't like to chase patients around for payment and have to deal at times with collections agencies which rarely collect anything, and if they do, it's usually a fraction of the amount owed. It's s hassle free way to do business. Such businesses are usually very successful and can afford to have such strong policies in place. Practices that aren't as successful typically do whatever they can to attract patients and have lenient policies to their own economic detriment because they have high receivables. So. If you want to go to a successful doctor, be prepared to wait and pay up front.
