Q&A: How much does it cost to get a tooth implant?

Killing Joke

With Rage Against the Machine gone and most punk outfits wallowing in self-pity, 2003 is an ideal time for Killing Joke to reform. Though it’s been seven years since 1996′s Democracy, their protest music has lost none of its edge. Railing against the crushing power of massive conglomerates, the machinations of oil barons and corrupt governments, and the steady erosion of personal freedoms, Jaz Coleman’s concerns have never been more relevant.

How much does it cost to get a tooth implant?

Answer by Desikinns!
ask ur dentist

Answer by Skeeter
Depends on where you live. On the east and west coast the cost is higher as much as $ 5000 per implant. In the middle states it can be about $ 2500. There is no average cost unfortunately. Also it depends on the dental professional you choose. An oral surgeon or periodontist can place dental implants but often do not place the teeth. You then have to pay a second fee to a dentist to place the teeth. I had a prosthodontist who was able to place the implants and the teeth.

In our area (south Louisiana) it runs around $ 3000 per tooth. Half goes to whoever places the implant and the other half goes to the general dentist who places the crown on the implant (the tooth). Just so you know it takes a few months before you can get the tooth placed onto the implant. Your body needs to accept the foreign object so to make sure you don’t reject it they wait a few months for it to heal and get strongly anchored. Then your dentist (and a lab) fabricate a crown to be screwed onto the implant.

Way too much!

I’m getting a tooth implant soon, I have to have a screw put into my gums and i’m worried about how much pain it will cause.

People have said it’s a “quick procedure” (35 minutes) but even when I had a full Novocaine block for my last cavity it still hurt.

My mom just had this same procedure done on 6 of her teeth. She was in pain for a few days and her teeth were sore about a week. She had to eat soft foods only to keep her mouth from hurting. Make sure to ask for some pain killers just in case.

I have placed them and had one done on myself. Most of the time there is less pain than with an extraction afterward. During the procedure after the numbing takes hold, there is no pain. Good luck with yours
