How much does Implant cost?

• At dentist I was told I need implant that would cost about $5000 for one tooth. Of course I have no such a lot of money. And I saw some ADs on internet that say "Implant $395!" So what's difference between $5000 implant and $395 one?

• Answer:

  The quality of procedure could be the difference. $395-5000 is a $4605 difference which a major difference. I would compare the two dentists proven sucess rate, including the familiarity performing the procedure, years in practice etc because similar precaution should be taken as any other doctor performing medical procedures on your body. Implants are pricey, and they are usually $1200-3000 having said that quality insurance is a good idea. $5000 is too much, and 395 is probably too good to be true. Although there are some doctors who help in programs within the community and other things that might perform for low price $395. Now, if he performs for that low at $395 on a regular basis that is mind bottling. I had a friend who went to the navy hospital wherein interns were practicing, and my friend received a dental procedure from them, and my friend's face was swollen 3 times the normal size. I had actually given advice prior to go elsewhere even there would have been fees acquired.
