Dental implants & seniors


Compare crestal implants with Basal implants at: http://www.dentalimplantskerala.com/?page_id=76

Last year, Juanita & I went to Algodones to see about implants. (Great place for lots of various types of dental work but has a little reputation of "meat market".)
As in the case of many seniors, we had bone loss, so most implants would require bone grafting, sinus routing etc, for about $15,000dlls pp. Forget getting it done if you smoke. These are "crestal" type implants.
We will wait and hope "basal" implants soon come to the USA and Mexico. Can be used even with lots of bone loss without grafting or buildup nor will sinus rerouting be necessary. Are OK for smokers & diabetics.

P.S. I am not a dentist. Dave

For $15.000.00 per tooth, you can hire someone to chew for you. Like a French maid.:biggrin::biggrin:

$15,000 for how many teeth?? seems awfully pricey!!! I have a great dentist here in Ensenada who has given me a pretty good price...$750 for the base and 6 months later they attach the crown for another $550, total per tooth...$1300 american...not cheap but alot cheaper than anywhere else...she is also a specialist and has done quality work on my teeth before...
