The reason I asked is because I know that the major costs are the actual
labour and operating expenses. But I noticed on some dental websites that
implants might be $1750 for 1 but if you're doing 7 or more it's $850. each.
I've even heard $400 from Tooth Savers in Manhattan. So are all titanium
implants the same quality?
