How much does a dental implant cost and how long a process (months?) is until co!
Question:
Answers:
The best implants are Branemark implants - made in Sweden and have the lowest failure rate.
A lot of cheap brands are now available and I bet they won't be around in 5-10 years when you need replacement bits.
Branemark has been around for as long as implants have(they were invented by him), and I would advise against using cheaper imitations, unless you don't plan on being around more than a few more years.
BTW I charge US$3500 each and I only use Branemark.
The newer "models" can now be finished in about 6 weeks depending on clinical conditions.

Dental implants in my area, N. FL are about $2,000- 2,500 each. A maxillary (upper) implant takes about 6 mos of healing time before the crown is placed. A mandibular (lower) implant takes 3-4 months to heal; barring any complications or bone grafting in either case. Good choice and

I don't know about branemark being the best. They certainly have been around the longest. It's hard to determine with success rates in the high 90's for experienced implantologists using all kinds of implant systems.
2-6 months depending on the quality and density of the bone recieving the implant. Costs vary from $1500 - $5000 in our area depending on which side of town you are on.
I need an implant too. I have gotten a few different prices, but the best value I have found is at the dental college. They don't let the students do it, only the actual dentist/instructors. The time frame I have been told is 6 months.The dental college where I live is about $750 1/4 the cost of other dentist.
