Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

There are many options to restore your lower arch. Implants will work best to retain the denture as lower dentures typically lack retention. Depending on the type of implant retained denture, the total surgical and resorative fee can cost about $8-13,000+. Feel free to email my office or call my receptionist.

Cost Estimate: $ No Estimate at this time. Additional information required.
Have you already had the extractions and denture? That sounds like the stage that you are in. What seems to be the problem with the present lower denture? Where implants previously discussed before you had the extractions? If you had discussions regarding the implants, did you require bone grafts at the time of your extractions? If there was no discussion, you may still be an ideal candidate for 2-3 lower implants with an overdenture. This will be the most cost effective treatment for stability of your lower denture. However, the estimate will require further evaluation of your present bone situation and health situation. If you require a second opinion, please contact my office. Thank you.

Cost Estimate: $$1,000-3,000.00
Without a copy of the x-rays or a clinical examination, it is always difficult to determine the best treatment. If you only have 6-7 remaining teeth, and they all need to be extracted, the cost is roughly $1,000.00. If the denture you need is a full denture or a partial denture, the costs can range between $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 depending on the type you require. There are implant supported dentures that "snap" the denture in for more stability. I cannot discuss those in greater detail until I do a clinical examination to determine if you are a good candidate. I hope this information was useful. You can call the office anytime for a complimentary consultation or 2nd opinion. Please bring x-rays if you have them.Dr. Mark Ajlouni408-270-2273
