About a year ago, I stopped charging my patients for dental implants and here is why I did it. Most implants in the United States are put in by one dentist and restored by another. Each of those dentists will charge a fee. That is why the total cost of a dental implant is so high. I both place and restore the dental implant myself. I'm a Board Certified Prosthodontist which means I specialize in dental reconstruction. I place dental implants (over 15,000 of them) as one of my tools in dental reconstruction for my restorative work to make crowns and bridges and dentures to replace missing or damaged teeth. I charge for the restorative work and my patients save a lot of money!

In recent years, many United States patients have gone abroad for their dental implant work. In most countries outside the United States, one dentist will both place and restore the dental implant (as I do) so they have the advantage of a lower fee schedule to start with. The problem with going abroad is the lack of support the patient will get if there are any problems developing later on. There are also problems with training and education in some of these countries which might lead to poorer outcomes than work done in the States. What patients need here are dentists like myself who are trained in all aspects of dental reconstruction, including dental implant placment, so that more of them can provide a total service for their patients while working to lower fees to a more reasonable level.

 I was in the first class in the North American Continent to be trained in dental implant Prosthodontics in 1984. I was the first non-surgical dentist to be trained in dental implant placement by Nobel Pharma (Nobel Biocare) in the United States in 1989 and I have more experience with dental implant reconstruction than almost any other dentist in the world.

Please note that THIS IS NOT FREE DENTISTRY!!!! I do charge for everything else that I do in conjunction with placing and restoring the implant and in order to qualify for the free implant, you must commit to the entire fee.  For instance, if you need a bone graft, there is a charge.
