RE: Saying hello :)
many dentists just want to make money, then help people.
In the U.S., I think it’s more about having astronomical student debts on graduating that causes this. Most dentists seem to love the work/results of what they do.
Full set of new teeth ?
I was speaking of what 40 million people wear…dentures. It sounds like exorbitant dental costs are a global issue.
In the West a full set of implants run about $30K. Similar to Germany, many people go to Mexico to get significant savings on U.S. costs.
my first skeletal protesis ( just metal framework)
Quite impressive.
Again, dentures on implants aren't equal in cost :)for single implant surgery you have to pay about $1K. Single point ( crown ) made on such implant costs additional $400-$600. So let us have 6 implants in upper jaw and a 14 point bridge ( that means 14 teeth ), it gives us about $12K. Including lower jaw (mandible) it's about $24K then.
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about
Picture isn't mine though :)
That's relatively comparable to US prices; and, a fair price considering it's considered a cosmetic procedure on insurance costs.
Thanks for your reply; and, best regards as you embark on your dental career.
Peace.
