There are so many people on here, maybe some of you can help me. My teeth have seriously deteriorated since I had my hysterectomy last year. Basically, I need false teeth. So today, one of the dentists I went to gave me the following prices, I'd like to know if these are correct in Louisiana or if I'm being robbed.
We can't afford full implants.
Option One
Bottom
Cap on back molar
Fill three cavities on molars
One molar is fine.
All other teeth pulled, temp denture until healed
These are to serve as the anchor for a partial denture
Top
All teeth pulled, full denture. I have a small tori in the top that may need surgical removal before this can be done so the price may increase.
Current total including surgery and anesthesia: just under $12,000
Option Two
Pull all teeth. Full denture on top. Two implants on bottom with a snap on denture. Temp dentures on top and bottom until healed.
Current total including surgery and anesthesia: $16,100
These prices may increase or decreased depending on what the surgeon says when we meet in August.
This seems high to me no matter which option I choose. Consider that she prices the top denture alone with nothing else at $1200. Most places that I've been able to find online state that this is a high price. And most websites hit a maximum of $1000 unless something special is desired.
I'm seeing online that it's more likely at the beginning to pay somewhere around half the price even with the extractions. And that's from this year and last years prices from the net.
