Dental Implants

[makoto06]

Hello! I need two dental implants for teeth I was never born with (I am 28.) They are the top lateral incisors. I had a consultation with an oral surgeon, and he noted I do not have adequate bone (and ridgy bone?) and would need to do a graft before the implants. With the graft and the implants (not including abutment and crown) it is running $16,000. Does this sound about right? I think it is very steep. Right now I am wearing a retainer with the fake teeth but must take it out to eat or drink anything but water, which is hard to do in a social setting. Does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives that would allow me to eat and drink in public without removing my teeth?

Have you had the treatment? This sounds very expensive. Shop around. If you would consider travelling, you have this treatment carried out for approx $3,000 in Hungary, in some very good clinics that specialise in this area. Did he use a CT scan? This gives the best indication of the bone quality. See my website if you want more info.
