I have 4 and my husband has 5. From start to finish, (extraction - crown) ours have been $7000. Our insurance pays for the extraction and a fraction of the crown.

Be careful when prices are quoted as the cost of an implant may be JUST the actual implant. There are a lot of extras. For instance, the panoramic x-rays are extra.

@Tinkrbl44 My SO was getting one and after 2 procedures to build up the bone, he was told by the specialist he would have had to go to another special specialist at a cost of around $6,000 on top of the $5,000 he already had paid out!!

I'm a fan of implants, though mine have been in so long that I can't recall how much they cost. With all my implants, I only had novocaine. I did not want to be put under. It was certainly uncomfortable for the first couple of days, but Tylenol helped. I never needed to use the heavy duty pain killer that was prescribed.

The only reason why I don't have even more implants is that I needed bone grafting in the affected area. Unfortunately, the grafting did not take.

My insurance pays for the entire crown an exrays. I must pay for the drilling and setting of the pins. I think it cost around $5000 a tooth, before insurance, and that will depend on your insurance policy

They are pricey but so worth it. I have 6 implants, 4 on the top which anchor a fixed bridge and two on the bottom that anchor a removable bridge. I am lucky enough to have dentist that is on the staff of a hospital with a dental clinic.

The implantation and unmasking were done there and everything else was done locally.

I think my total bill for the implants and teen was $25,000, I feel so lucky to have found this dentist

Approximately 3K per tooth.

It depends on where you live, the dentist, how many teeth. A former co-worker won some money on a lottery scratch ticket and paid for her husband's dental implants. I believe it was several of his top teeth. She said it cost $16,000. And that was about 10 years ago.

I’m in the process of getting one now. The total will be almost $5,000

in 2010, i bought them for my mom.

it was at least 6 teeth in the front, on the top
and that many on the bottom on one side

the bill was $10,000 for everything including anesthesia, molds, x-rays.

i selected a dentist that did implants for players on 2 pro hockey teams (as they lose teeth on a regular basis) and celebrities.

i knew people that just went to any old dentist that said they did implants and some either had one fall out at some point or they weren't happy. i wanted the best in the business, as they say.

my mom never had any problems, or any fall out.

i liked that it was a team of dentists/surgeons, in the room, in case something went left.

but nothing did, thank goodness.

they may ask for a recent medical report to check for some things (can't remember what they were looking for)

get references.

ask how long their work is guaranteed for and what the guarantee includes. if they don't and something happens, the cost is probably coming out of your pocket.

look for any past or pending lawsuits.

search to see if they are mentioned in any articles.

ask if they have written any articles on dental implants or invented/patented something.

DH had a mouthful of implants about six years ago and they all failed. We went to another specialist in another city and had four implants (with more planned) and they failed in less than a year. All told, forty thousand dollars down the drain. DH now has dentures.

I have a friend going thru it now. She is having it done at UB Dental Clinic in Buffalo, N.Y. and they are charging her around half of what dentists charge because it's a teaching clinic. I believe her estimates were around $8,000 from the clinic and that included sinus lift surgery before implants are done. This cost was for her upper teeth.

For ONE implant ? Hmm ... I think I better get a second opinion on my mouth.

I can’t remember exactly, but I think I got 4 implants. The periodontist did the implants and my regular dentist had the teeth made. I think the teeth cost more than the implants. Think total for everything was around sixteen thousand.

I am in the healing process of an implant right now. We put the cap on back in April and it was fine until I bit down on food. So, took the cap off and put the healing cap back on and have been waiting ever since. I’m convinced it’s a fail and I’m irritated that I ever chose this option. Long story and I won’t bore you with the details. $2,800 down the drain and I’m pretty sure I will have the pleasure to pay for a permanent bridge. I’ll find out next Tuesday. I would never choose this option again.
