I agree with this statement to a certain extent. You need to be sure what you are getting. However, I learned when shopping, all dentist purchase materials from the same supplier. So it comes down to skill and procedure.
I will not name the dentist, but they wanted to use a general anesthesia for the procedure. The cost for this was $1500 and if the procedure took more than 90 minutes, it was an additional $150 per 15 minutes. This alone accounted for most of the difference between thier quote and what I actually paid.
I have had a couple of implants and never had general anesthesia. In the latest, it was a "happy" pill before the procedure and a shot of Novocain. Do not remember a thing. I think the only bad part was I asked the dental assistant to marry me. My wife was not thriled about this!
