My wife had implants done for her upper mouth. Dr Caylor was the surgeon and he is fantastic. The prosthodontist who did all of the actual dental work and supplied the crowns was Dr Davila. He is an experienced professional with 30+ years of experience teaching and procticing this art. He is fantastic. You can probably find someone to do it for a little less, but the quality and results will reflect that. She had 6 implants done at one time with twelve crowns total all of which were permanenttly installed rather than having removable dentures attached to the implants (highly recommend this option). Total cost for upper mouth was approximately $25,000, $10,000 of which was surgery. The day of surgery she had temporary dentures to wear during the healing process. That is what those who advertise "you can have your teeth done all in one day" neglect to mention. You have temps to wear. t takes several weeks to finalize everything, but you have teeth which allow you to function during this time. It's the best decision she ever made regarding her teeth. Also, be careful about the promises of mini implants and be sure they are strong enough to use to CHEW and now just for appearance. I recommend you get a consult with Dr Davila and Dr Caylor and they can help you decide what is best for you. They are both honest and forthright and don't need your business so you can know that their advice is in your best interest. Dr Davila does prosthodontist work only and is not a family dentist who makes crowns on the side.
