Cheap Dental Implants
There are hundreds of companies making dental
implants, that is making the fixtures that dentists place. But there are
only six of these companies that have taken the trouble and the expense to
insure that their fixtures meet the stringent standards of the ADA
(American Dental Association) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration.
But the strong temptation for dentists is to use the
cheap dental implants, that may be made in the Philippines. Here are the
numbers. The Philippine fixture will cost from $3 to $5. The high quality
fixture that meets FDA and ADA standards will cost $300 to $500. And for
some cases, the patient may need a number of fixtures. It is a temptation.
Our recommendation: Don't add to the temptation your
dentist feels by price-shopping, looking for cheap dental implants, or
haggling over the fee. If your dentist feels pressure to cut corners, if
the fixture is substandard and precise manufacturing tolerances are
compromised, it will be more susceptible to coming loose, to developing
infection, and to final implant failure. And the consequences of
dental implant mistakes can be
serious. It will not be cheap in the end.
