    Dentists!

    Ha! I've come to the right place.

    How does 8500 dollars for two tooth extractions and three implants sound? Too much? Fair?

    Seems a bit high. I've been quoted 2k or so for each implant. Extractions were under 100 bucks apiece. You should be able to separate though, as you need to wait a few months after extraction to get the posts in, then a month or two after that to ensure it isn't rejected.

    For extraction purposes, a rodenator would be less expensive. www.rodenator.com
    In order to properly convert this thread to a polyasshat thread to more fully enrage the liberal left frequenting here...... (insert latest democratic blunder of your choice).

    I'll pay $37 if bunny lets me use a cold chisel and club hammer.

    Final offer.

    ... That's $37 per tooth!

    Three implants? Don't they usually just do two?

    Just go take a ski vacation to Utah and let the LDS dentists compete for your money if you fear the latin butchers. Save yourself 40% and get some pow days in pre /post op.

    Implants are expensive, but you can shop around. But you should be careful about going with the lowest bid. You want someone who does good work.

    Now, that's exactly why I go to the dealer for my brake jobs. Quality first!

    Benny, does that include both implants and restorations, or just extractions and implant placement with the abutments and crowns costing extra? If it's just the surgeries, and there is not significant bone grafting required, then it's a bit pricy compared to the going rates in Denver. If the price for both the implants and the abutment/crowns it's on the cheaper side. And have the surgeries done by a specialist.
