1 tooth, excluding london prices.
What's The Average UK Price For Dental Implants?
£1 (then add about 6 zeros at the end).
summary - all dentists are robbing *beeps* where ever your from, if you lose a tooth that's it, you've just 'unwillingly' signed a piece of paper and the dentist owns your soul, mwahhaha.

What is the proper term for the dental implants that actors and actrsses get?
also caps and crowns.i have both 400 per tooth.
Reply:veneers or some have actual implants

Reply:Dental implants are dental implants, no matter who the patient is.
Implants replace a missing tooth.
Veneers or caps partially cover an existing tooth for the purpose of changing the shape or color of the tooth. Many veneers are done for cosmetic reasons.
This kind of dentistry is not just done on famous people - regular, everyday folks get caps, veneers, and implants all the time.
Edited to add: "hcbb" has only a few posts on Yahoo! and all seem to be promoting 3rd World medical/dental procedures. I would first of all be cautious of anyone who stands to gain financially from their answers and secondly be very careful about receiving care outside of their own country.
Keep in mind, if anything goes wrong with your procedure, you would have to return to India, Mexico, or some other place to have it fixed. Your home dentist is under NO obligation to repair shoddy work done overseas. Oversight of things like cleanliness and malpractice are not as strict as in developed nations. What seems like a big savings in the short term may cost dearly in the long term.
Reply:TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION:
Dental implants have been around in various forms for centuries. Only in the last thirty years, however, have they come to provide reliable replacements for natural teeth.
In the mid sixties a surgeon by the name of Branemark accidentally discovered that titanium cylinders placed gently into bone and then left undisturbed for three months could actually bond to the bone. While discussing this finding with some dentist friends they decided to see if titanium cylinders could be used as replacement teeth. Initial experiments were done in dogs. The implants were placed in the jaw of the dog using a very gentle technique and then allowed to rest in the jaw for three months. When the implants were exposed, a hook was attached and they were able to lift the dog completely off of the ground. Although, today, this seems cruel to us, it clearly demonstrated that the titanium cylinders could bond to bone and withstand substantial forces.
Since that time hundreds of thousands of dental implants have been placed in the mouths of people who were tired of floppy removable replacement teeth. Research has been conducted all over the world at numerous dental facilities. The success rates have been between 90 to 97% over the last thirty years.
Put simply a dental implant is a titanium cylinder with threads or a rough surface which is gently placed in the jaw of an individual. Titanium is a bioactive metal which, when undisturbed, is able to trick the body into believing that it is a tooth. The body therefore bonds directly to the implant surface with a bond that is even stronger than to natural teeth.
Crowns or attachments are placed on the implant and screwed into place with retaining screws which thread into the top of the implant.

Reply:I think you might have heard it as Prosthetic Dentistry. It is the restoration or replacement of tooth.
Dental implant is an artificial tooth root replacement. There are many types. The most commonly used one is the osseointegrated implant. The material is Titanium. There are several manufacturers of this implant.
Typically dental implants require three stages. (a) First stage: To evaluate whether you are the candidate for the dental implant - the doctor will look at your dental x-rays, bone strength, etc to decide. If you are the candidate, then dental implant is placed. (b) Second stage: To uncover the dental implant and place abutment and temporary crown (c) Third stage: Permanent crown. From 1st stage to 3rd stage, the process takes around 3 to 4 months.
The dental implants are expensive in UK / USA (typically $3500 per tooth) and is not covered in many insurances. Many people go to other countries like India, Mexico, Thailand for their dental implants. The implant cost savings are 50% to 80%. There are companies like healthbase (www.healthbase.com) arranges all the necessary booking with the hospitals, travel, accommodation and even sight-seeing. Healthbase works with internationally accredited hospitals (like JCI / JCAHO / ISO accredited) and doctors who have trained in USA / UK. Their website has cost estimates (free quote) and detailed profiles about the hospitals, doctors and medical procedures. Healthbase website also has information about medical procedures, medical tourism, dental tourism, cost comparison and much more.
Reply:They are not implants. Implants are titanium screws that are placed in the jaw bone and then a fake tooth is attatched to it. This is done to replace a tooth or teeth that are missing. What the majority of the stars have are veneers. This is just like a custom fitted cover or blanket over the teeth that makes them straight and white. Only a small portion of the tooth is shaved down usually and then the veneer placed over top of the tooth. Its not like a crown which covers the entire tooth.

What is the best way of cleaning dental implants?
Brushing and flossing doesn't prevent the denture tast.
What is the best way of cleaning dental implants?
I like to hear that you are brushing and flossing, but you might care to try using a WaterPik
http://www.waterpik.com/oral-health-prod...
with some mouthrinse mixed with water to flush out all of the areas around the implants you have. You need to use the Pik on a lower pressure setting as not to traumatize the tissue by forcing the fluid into the area at the gum margin. You can also use a proxybrush
http://www.just4teeth.com/Products-Brand...
Just make sure that the wire of the proxybrush is coated with plastic so it doesn't scratch the implant.
Hope that helps!

Reply:Dental Implants are very expensive, no matter where you go. I would stay as far away from dental implants as possible, and go with some other alternative. I had dental implants put in, and almost died of Sepsis. My dentist, that is no longer my dentist, put blade implants in my mouth, and they were not only put in crooked, they were not approved by the FDA, and they rusted into my jawbone. I ended up with Sepsis, which is a blood infection, and came within hours of dying. I've had 4 surgeries to try to correct the problem, but now found out I need more, because I'm losing bone. Bone pain, is excrutiating. Please try to go with a different option! If you decide you still want implants, then make sure you do some research, and find the right dentist to perform the surgery. Hope this helps! Good Luck!
Reply:There are good implantologists anywhere in the world it's only a question of what you consider a reasonable price. I'm from the Philippines and the range of implant fees here range from $150 to $300 per implant depemding on the type of implant athe the implantologist placing the implant. This presumes that the oral situation is implant ready meaning that there is the right amount of bone in the areas where the implants have to be placed. There are some cases where pre-implant procedures may have to be accomplished first prior to implant placement.

Reply:Dental Implants are long-term replacements are surgically placed in the jawbone. Whereas, removable dentures or fixed bridges are not considered as a long-term solution like dental implants. More and more people are considering dental implants as their the best treatment option for replacing missing teeth.
Since most of the insurances do not cover dental implants, many people are planning overseas travel to places like India, Mexico, Thailand and Singapore for their teeth implants It is very cheaper while comparing in US. For example a metal-free dental bridge worth $5,500 in the U.S. costs $500 in India.
