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 :)

about $24K

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.
