Full mouth dental work?

I ask this question now, as the last time this question seems to have been answered is a year ago, and a lot can happen in a year, price/procedure wise, as I know now that there are a variety of different options available that were not before, such as crowns in an hour, etc, whereas before it took months.





I am therefore asking, if I was looking to have all my teeth extracted, and replaced by implants, what is the cheapest I could be looking at for all that work? I would consider either USA or UK, depending on the price - I am a UK citizen, so yeah I am just trying to find out a price from a cheap place before I call around - I have only found 1 place here, and 2 in USA, and I can't really go to the USA ones easily in person...





Thank you guys.

Full mouth dental work?
Full extraction with implants is a bit extreme. I can't speak about price, since I'm a US dentist. I'm sure this procedure would fall under the UK mandate of destroying the invasive bone drill, rather than sterilize it (since sterilization doesn't inactivate prions). That will increase the cost. Aside from that, the management of your bite (the point at which tthe teeth actually bite through food) is a difficult thing to manage and is one of the common complaints with people with dentures.


You don't say how many teeth you have but you can count on the cost of extractions, bone reconstruction where needed,sinus lift surgery where needed, healing time, placement of implants, temporary denture during healing, abutment placement, fabrication of dentures (if implant retained dentures.. fewer implants needed) or crowns (if individual teeth are made...more implants, more expense)


and finally, adjustments. You're looking at like a year's worth of work or more


Good luck
Reply:There are so many variables that an answer would be almost meaningless. Obviously your teeth must be in poor shape if you're considering this option. You must also think that implants are fool-proof (which they aren't) or that every patient can have all their teeth replaced with implants (which they can't). You may be able to do this, but perhaps need bone grafting, sinus lifts and other imponderables that will make the course of treatment more involved and expensive.


With these caveats I would say that for standard (not mini) implants about the lowest fees you're likely to find in the U.S. per tooth would be maybe $1500-$2K for the implant fixture, and maybe $1000 to $1500 per tooth for abutment and crown. So you're looking for $2500-$3500/tooth minimum (not counting the extractions)

Reply:Hi, if you are looking for good quality implant but at a lower cost, I suggest going to Thailand or Malaysia. As they do a lot of cases (high volume), they are able to offer the job at a shorter lead time too. The lower cost does not mean lower quality. It is mainly because of exchange rate and cheaper labour cost.





The cost for tooth extraction is only about $20-$30USD per tooth.





The cost for implant and crown is only approx $2000 USD per tooth.





All this can be done in 1 trip to either Bangkok or Phuket and you only need to stay there for 10-14 days.





You can make comparison with US and UK dentist. Check out www.sunshineescapade.com and then type in the url: /index_dentistry_thai.htm
