It is always better to keep your own teeth. Doing the crowns is a better choice unless your dental hygiene is poor. Implants are more than $ 1000.00 each. That is usually just the cost for the establish, not the crown that needs to be placed on the establish itself. You have Oral sugeon cost for the establish, and lots of lab costs involved. When you do the crown usually the $ 850 each is all inclusive. If you floss, brush, and see your dentist on a fixed basis crowns are the better choice. But if you have really terrible teeth, that are beyond reduction implants are the better choice.

why dental insurance will not pay for dental implants? why it cost alot?

Answer by Daisy Mae
Insurance companies suck. It costs alot because you have to go to an oral surgeon they drill into your bone, place a titanium post in your jawbone and stitch you up. It costs around 1500 dollars then you go to your fixed dentist to get a crown which is about 7 to 8 hundred dollars. Depends on your area, not an exact quote.

Insurance will only cover preventive care not pre exisiting or cosmetic. If its not medically required to “SAVE” something they won’t do it.
They can close thousands..depends on where you go.

Have you tried a dental college…? Sometimes they accept patients to work on for class…you get free dental work..they get a lesson.

Your insurance company will not pay for implants. It’s considered “cosmetic”.
I live in Maine, and I can quote you what my dentist charges for implants. I spend a lot of time in there looking around and bothering public, so I am pretty up-to-date on his fees. Plus, lately, I have this tooth fetish. Whatever.
Anyway, first you need the tooth extracted – $ 150. Maybe you have done that bit already. Next, they establish the post – $ 1250. A titanium piece is inserted into the jawbone, and during a process called “osseointegration” the bone grows around the post and holds it securely in place, just like the root of a tooth. This takes upwards of 2-3 months, sometimes as much as 6 months. They place a healing abutment over the screwhole – the details on that are sketchy at the moment. I need to read more about that part. I reckon it helps keep food particles out and encourages the gums to heal in a prooper shape. After the post is set, a crown is place on – $ 1250. C’est fini! Your community dentist’s prices may differ.
It’s expensive because it’s a long process, there is oral surgery involved, and healthcare of any sort in the US is astronomical. My sister is getting an establish soon, and she got a loan through CareCredit. Question if your dentist offers that. It is hard to suddenly come up with $ 2500, but if it’s spread out over a year it is more controllable. Just be sure you can pay it off in one year! Perhaps get approved for half at a time, to keep the debt controllable.

Dental establish surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very well-known in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient tales.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and additional international patients who plot to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally judge that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
