Just went thru this for my wife needed two implants.

First of all a few of these Dr.s are really crooks, not to say they are bad just pricing.

One said one old one needed to removed, bone graft new implant. 3 hours of anesthetist about $6,000

Then came up with a concocted estimate of another $7,800

I can buy a small car for that.

Turned out that was untrue, hint he's on rt 441 on west side

Then we went to Dr. Johnson, what a difference.
Some of the imaging equipment others did not have, pictures were amazing

For example the anesthetist part was 30 min including extraction.

Total cost $2,000 including 3-4 followups, showed and explained in detail the Xrays and a few sketches.

Never needed a bone graft, in fact said it would be possible in that area.

So we were happy with him, if needed would return.



It wasn't the money so much as being lied to!
(I booked a cruise with the difference)

Part two of deal is the caps, so far $1,400????

Still looking around for at least two other opinions.



.So even at $1400 the total cost would be $3400
