Hello, the crown on my tooth #3 popper, and when I went to the dentist, he said an extraction+implant was needed (this tooth already had a root canal). The whole thing is going to cost, around $10k, not covered. This sounds awfully expensive. Is this normal? Full breakdown in picture
Answer: Costs for implant and crown. There are many variables in what needs to be done. You treatment plan appears comprehensive but may be overkill. No individual item is unreasonably priced. It is possible that this is the best option depending on your condition.Sometimes a Max implant can be placed immediately after extraction into socket. If sinus augmentation is needed it increases costs. I suggest getting additional opinions both on wether tooth is salvagable and whether socket preservation, bone graft of sinus lift is needed.A good rule is to seek a second or third opinion if you are not sure about treatment.Ira L Shapira DDS, D,ABDSM, D,AAPM, FICCMOChair, Alliance of TMD Organizations.

Answer: Dental Implants Are The State Of The Art In Tooth Replacement An estimated cost of $10,000 certainly is a lot of money, but this fee really doesn't seem all that high to me ( I practice in the Cleveland Ohio area and fees here are generally lower than say New York, Los Angeles or Chicago ). More expensive lab made custom parts (called abutments) may be needed instead of standard sized and angled abutments from the implant manufacturer. Labs also charge dentists more for implant crowns. Dental implants really are the state of the art in tooth replacement, much better than a bridge or denture, and implant companies, labs, oral surgeons and restorative dentists base their prices on this fact. For your own peace of mind, check out some other implant prices in your area. Implant fees within a given area tend to fall within a fairly close range, while your dentists' fee may not be the cheapest, it's probably not way out of line.

Answer: Dental implant cost Depending on type of practices and location, and the precise nature of treatment necessary, cost can vary. If the bone is healthy and there is adequate foundation, the surgical aspect of implant can be 2500-3000 and the restoration can be $2500-3500 (depending on type of material, type of laboratory, and experience and specialty of the restorative dentist). I hope this is helpful.

Answer: Implant. bone graft. abutment. crown Dear willygreenny: The prices quoted to you are entirely reasonable, especially if the work is done by a specialist in New York City. the question is: do you need all this work? Most times, following extraction, a bone graft procedure is not necessary and a short implant can be placed without a sinus graft procedure.The best thing to do is to get a second opinion from a prosthodontist in your area. Best,
