Mini Implant Dentures Puzzle Test Heist

So, here's my initial breakdown of the elements of my situation.

Target: Mini implant retained upper and lower full dentures.

$1,500.00 each, upper and lower. Total $3,000.00
( idea being that MetLife Insurance will pay 50% for much of the
procedure , materials, etc .
so, theoretically , each implant retained denture would actually be $
3000.00 . Total $6,000.00 )

consult / x rays

extractions
( lower : 10 real teeth ,
upper : 3 teeth broken off around gum line , front bridge five
teeth. )

mini implants ( to stabilize / retain dentures : 2 bottom, 4 top... or:
2 and 2 .. or 4 bottom, 6 top ? )


Temporay dentures ? or ( because of the minis ) immediate dentures.

Dentures ? What quality for what price ?

MetLife Dental Insurance.

In " network " doctors supposedly contract to charge less for
procedures materials etc

MetLife will cover

seem to cover some amount of initial x ray and consult
( consult price of one dentist that was $200.00 overall with panoflex
etc went down to $30.00 when they realized I was with Met Life. $ 50.00
deductible ... so: $80.00 consult etc x rays )

50% percent extract

50% anesthia

50 % ( must submit for a pre estimate ) oral surgery

Here it getas interesting: Metlife will not cover implant -placed where
a tooth was missing ( long time ago extracted ) as that's considered a
" pre existing condition ", but where a tooth is extracted and an
implant placed ... then they cover 50 %.

I'm in the Westchester County Ny area, north of NYC.
