Dental implants cost for all of top teeth?

I have a set of dentures on top since I was a young woman and I can't stand them. I have had them changed several times but I just can't wear dentures. I am trying to find out the approximate cost of a complete set of upper dental implants here in Canada; for the whole top row of teeth. I know they are expensive but I would gladly pay it if it was anywhere near reasonable. I just can't stand dentures on top and I can't chew properly or talk properly and nothing makes any difference. They are driving me crazy. Any advice would be appreciated!

Dental implants cost for all of top teeth?
Hi! I can appreciate how badly you feel about wearing a denture. I have upper implants and a fixed bridge and it is a blessing. But I am also in a dental practice so the cost was lab and implants. A HUGE difference. Dental implants vary from 1000. to 2000.00 per an implant. THAT is not the restoration that goes on top. The whole process can take up to 6 months or more for the initial surgery to final steps. However, you have another alternative, and it can be just as nice and is the middle group. This is an implant supported denture. This only requires 4 implants, and a denture that would snap on, you could eat, laugh, smile and not worry about the denture coming out. The only time it comes out is when you want it to and then you brush the denture and the implants and snap back in place. This is about 1/3 the cost of a full arch implant supported fixed bridge and it is much easier to make. You can wear your existing denture while the implants heal and when they have integrated into your jaw, a new implant denture would be made then. I think you should speak to your dentist and have him carefully go over this option with you and this could be a difference of 10-15 thousand dollars. A nice savings and yet you can have a great look and a denture that stays in place! Discuss this with him and an Oral Surgeon and you will see that this may work better for you. Since you lost your teeth so long ago, you may NOT have enough bone to support a full set of implant retained bridges or corwns and so this may actually be the best choice in the long run. Good luck, and if you have any other questions, please ask. Marie
Reply:I just looked it up online and in the USA it's about $800-$1000 per tooth. I couldn't find any prices for Canada, but if it's more than that, do it in the US.
Reply:Good advice from both previous posters, although I think the $1000 price range is on the very low side.


I haven't had implants but, at one time I had horrible teeth. I married a Viet woman who's uncle is a dentist in Saigon. For less than $1000 he did two root canals, two extrations and 9 crowns!


I know that Maple Dental Clinic in Saigon does implants at about a third of the price as in the west. It is a Canadian company and I have been there. It's clean, modern and professional. Google them if you want or e-mail me for more info.


I didn't need implants and my wife's uncle was a lot more affordable.


The money you spend on a trip/vacation to Vietnam is a lot less than you'll pay to have the work done in the west.
