Anybody have experience with any of these dentists? I need an implant. My dentist recommended Dr Blumberg but his nearly $4000 for one tooth seems a bit much. Anybody know about Villages Dental Care on 441, Magnolia dental on 167th Place, or Value Dental on 109th?

Check with Dr. Caylor (oral surgeon), I'm thinking he said $3500 but that does not include a crown which is an additional $1000-$1200 which your dentist puts on later on. Unfortunately I need two of these. ouch

University of Florida Dental School in Gainesville will do implants and other dental procedures for about half the cost of a dentist. Graduate students do the work under close supervision of the faculty. I am currently in the process of having an implant done complete with bone graft for under $2,000.00. Everything has gone perfectly although it is a slow process. The trip to Gainesville takes about an hour and it gives me a good excuse to stop at Trader Joe's.

I had Dr. Blumberg do one implant cost was $4800.Aspen dental will do the same procedure for half that cost.

Good luck with that. I've been applying to them for two implants for two years, and they keep turning me down. They list no reason.

My dentist in Bushnell wants $4700 for a molar implant.

I'm confused. Are you paying $7200 or $9200? If $7200, what dentist is it?

Maybe they were full when you applied. I had no problem getting into the program. They tell me that they are actively looking for patients at this time.
