Dental Implants?

I am in dire need of dental implants. Can anyone give me an idea of the cost involved? I will need a complete lower assembly and a partial upper assembly. Can the procedure be performed in one or two visits? Also I take Warfarin daily and have a history of blood clots.


Thanks

Dental Implants?
The cost will depend on where you live. I have 8 implants on top and 6 on the bottom that holds a whole bridge unit. I have a gorgeous smile. I have seen implants from $2,500 to $5000 each. You will have to decide what you want. In my case I had immediate load. I live far away from my Doctor's over 500 miles in fact. I had my first visit in April, went back for my surgery in May, all teeth removed and I had temporary teeth screwed onto the implants immediately (I was never one day without teeth) and I stayed in a motel for 4 days, came back 2 weeks later for my stitches removed and didn't go back for my permanents for 5 months in Oct. where they finished me in a week staying in a motel. Can't answer you about the medication or the blood clots.





If you choose an oral surgeon you will have two charges one to place the implants and another specialist to fabricate your teeth. If you choose a Prosthodontist with a lab on the premisis you will have one charge and one doctor.
Reply:I'm not sure of your insurance, but without it at my doctors it costs a grand.





Per tooth.





Ever think about selling that harley?
Reply:If you mean for permanent teeth, the last I checked was around $1000 per tooth. May be more, may be less today, but you'll have to check.
Reply:for me to have just two teeth will be 2k but only because i am in a special program. if i dont get the op soon it will be well over 4k
Reply:I can't help you with the price.


But the Warfarin should not be a complication if you are within the therapeutic INR range of 2-4. The placement of the implants will help close the wound and allow better healing.


Also, you could take a self-made MOUTHWASH of tranexamic acid (1 cap in 10-15ml water) 4x daily for 7 days to help the natural clotting.
