Dental Implants for (Free)

generaldentistry
Let’s set the record straight here, free dental implants are, in reality, a marketing tactic. We get hundreds of emails every day asking about free dental implants and always have to give the same answer. Why would a dentist or oral surgeon who can charge a small fortune give away an implant?

 

It makes no sense! What is usually meant by this is that the implant will have no fee if you chose to use their service. Other charges still apply. Charges which are related to installing the implant. Several Implant clinics that run this marketing scheme also require you to sign a contract that you will do all of your follow up treatments at their center. Conversely, the implant charge is not waved, and your bill adjusted.

Dental Implants typical charges.

  • Multiple teeth removal
  • Single tooth replacement
  • Bone grafting
  • X-rays
  • office visits
  • Oral surgeon fees
  • Dental surgery as related to the implant

Real Information about getting free or cheap implants

 

The only time I heard of a patient getting free implants was when they knew a teaching dentist that was hired to give an implant training session. The patient could get a free single tooth implant. With a hundred other people staring down their mouth at the same time as the procedure was for educational purposes. The video later showed up on YouTube as well, to the embarrassment of the patient. Perhaps not the right choice for everybody.

 

A better way to think about this is to think about gettingaffordable dental implants set a goal, financially that you can live with and start planning around that goal.

 

The first thing you need to think about in getting to this goal is to think about traveling. Traveling for your dental implants will achieve several things.See the list below to understand all the price based benefits to traveling for teeth replacement.

  • Traveling just to another state will save you up to $1,000 per implant
  • Dental Medical Tourism can save you even more. This means traveling to other countries like Mexico, Costa Rica, or other locations.
  • Consider getting screw type one hour implants when they are an option for your dental surgery.
  • Do you own your own business? Think about doing a barter with a dentist or oral surgeon in your area. ( I personally know a gentleman that owned a lawn business who was able to barter out his services for four implants)

If your dentist said you need old fashioned dental implants get a second opinion. Often a dentist or oral surgeon will only recommend what they have worked with. The older style implants are expensive and could take up to one year to complete the process. The newer type screw implants are done in under thirty days with the permanent crown. They are more flexible in how they can be installed. This flexibility means your dentist has more options, and this goes hand in had in pricing schedules and the ultimate cost of your tooth implant.

 

This table shows to two types of implants currently in wide spread usage in modern dental surgery. When you go in for your consultation to replace your missing teeth, you will be presented with two totally different options. Which option you choose will have a large impact on the costs involved and the time frames. It’s not a bad idea to ask which type implants are being offered on the phone.

 

Dental Implants and the two different common types

 Endosteal implants
This implant is surgically placed in the jawbone using special medical grade screws or cylinders. One endosteal dental implant is capable of holding multiple teeth. This is the most common form used in modern dentistry today. It can be used for either single crown attachment or for any form of bridge or denture.
Advantages: Screw type implants are more flexable and have a beter price 
Subperiosteal implants 

The subperiosteal dental implant version is secured on the surface of the jaw using a titanium metal framework. The posts go into the gum, after it can bear a prosthesis. Typically, for patients who have more extensive bone loss. It is a more difficult dental surgery.
These are are a more costly dental surgery and teeth implant process
