I'm looking for full upper permanent implants. I'm mostly concerned about the price.
Does anyone have any experiences, good or bad, to share?

Dependent on size of the arch, the type/quality of denture, some may require 4 or 6 implants. Go with max recommended for maximum stability.
I am sure your provider will recommend annual or semi annual check ups/cleaning. Do so!!! The health of gums and implants are key to longevity of the installation. Religious routine for cleaning...tooth brush and water pick both required for best results. Good luck. |

Dr. Caylor did mine. I consider him the best. He wasn't cheap but I felt that I had the best experience. No pain and very little bleeding. I wish I could help you on the price. It is expensive.

Friedman I needed a laugh today thank you. That said I am also interested in cost of implants.

Unfortunately my Wednesday edition of the Sun has gone out to recycling. If you can find the paper, there was a display ad for a dentist on Hwy 441 north in Lady Lake, I can't remember the name. They had all the prices listed in the ad, I remember implants were $2300. I thought that sounded cheap, because I've alway heard they are about $4,000.

an oral surgeon would implant the posts and determine if extra bone material is needed. barton blumberg is an excellent surgeon. the actual bridge should be made by a prosthodontist. excellent one here is jose davila. neither one are cheap...in fact, probably considered expensive. a friend had the permanent dentures put in in this manner and has an outstanding looking mouth.

Many older people have bone loss, so extra bone has to be added to give enough support for the implants. My husband shopped around and ended up choosing Dr. Dunn in Ocala. Dentist in Ocala FL | Dr. Stephen H. Dunn, DDS, PA Will probably be cheaper than dentists around The Villages. My husband didn't feel Dunn was trying to do more than was necessary, and the price was fair compared to another estimate he had. And the quality of work was good. There was a charge for initial evaluation which I believe was deducted off the final price.

I had bone added when they pulled my tooth. It was very easy and I didn't feel it. It takes a while for it to settle in. Dr. Caylor made it an easy process for me.

I’m going through the process now — full upper and lower. Quite honestly had I known the pain (extreme), the length of healing time (six months to a year), the length of time you really can’t eat anything solid (minimum three months of no biting or chewing), I would have opted for dentures. If you think you’re going to be around for more than ten years, then I think implants are a good way to go but if not, six months to a year of misery just seems like a dumb choice.
Having said that, check out Dr. Blanco at Magnolia Dental on 441 towards Summerfield. Good job, fairly reasonable prices, lovely staff. Downside to Magnolia, no gas. Shots only.

An honest, excellent dentist. Start to finish, a little less than $5K, including crown.

UofF Dental School. Takes a while but you can not beat the price or quality of work. Extraction and implant for wife was $1600 for all. Brother had 3 implants with extractions and sinus bone lift. Total for all with after care, $6200.
