$50,000 will get you a new set of sparkling, white teeth

This is a very poorly researched article, hardly an article really.
Yes, titanium implants are now commonplace, but like all medical procedures, case selection is vital.
The article is very misleading.
stay away from anyone promising 24 hour miracles.

Imagine my new teeth versus my kids education? Luckily I don't need it.
I think as we grow older in society there will be the need to replace teeth in a better way than simple restorative or implant/denture technology. When my time comes, I hope it is also pain-free !

Modern science is great. I grew up as a farm kid where you dealt with your lot in life. Now that I am moving into my late twenties the possiblities of modern medicine have been so useful to me I get jokes about being a 2.0 version of myself. Between ACL surgery (now I run like when I was 18), laser eye surgery (ending up with far better than normal vision now), and some mole removals I feel like a new person. I can't wait to see what else can be upgraded in the coming years.

This article does not do the service justice, if you are going to report on a procedure that has changed and enhanced people's lives, speak to patients that have had it done. In addition, the cost as it was described is less than 20K per jaw and the even fancy porcelain is not even near what was quoted.

I would love to know where the patients are that are spending 50,000 please send them to Windsor, Ontario. Can. I would love to retire sooner than later and would be happy to see them we charge approx 12,000 for this type of work, but if people are that silly to waste there money and not shop around they derserve what they get!!!! I look forward making even more people smile!!!!

I would come to Winsor in a heartbeat, if you could give me a new set of teeth for 12000.00. Who, and where in Winsor are you?...

$12000.00! for the same work...... im there whats your address......?

Now you have to ask yourself the question. I have $50,000 dollars. Do I pay for a University Degree and go to college without good teeth only to be ridiculed and mocked by richer college students or do I pay for a new set of sparkling good looking white teeth but have no education? Or do I put that money down for a condo or house and have nice roof over my head in the long run or do I pay for a new set of good looking white teeth that has the possibility to rot away too in the long run after a couple decades. What do you think?

For the same kind of dental work, I just learned that you can get the it for only $10,000 dollars in some Asian countries. I'd rather do that instead. Thank you. Im not about to get suckered and ripped off by some overpriced service that I could get somewhere else for a fraction of the price.

well i have just researched smileandbody.com -- i can say that this article has been great advertisement for dr kupeyan -- what's kind of freakish is that i've been looking to get something like this done for about a decade -- i'm not OLD -- i'm less then 30 but have a few teeth missing due to my dentist wanting lots of money and botching up rootcanals... 3 teeth i had to have removed after 2 different surgeries and almost death because of the infections it caused... so not all of us neglect our oral health, it's just that things happen and now we have to live with partials... which are very gross!!! i hate them! i as well have been thinking of going overseas or to asia and getting my teeth reconstructed -- most likely implants. BUT who will care for you once you are back home? who is going to help you once you have an infection or the implants don't take? for most of us even $12000 is a lot of money -- but it's not worth as much as having the ability to SMILE and be HAPPY once again without thinking what will i do if this doesn't succeed...

all on four the same day. its a technique where you have new teeth on just four tilted implants and you got the temperary denture the same day. then you got the original denture. but what if one implant fail??? Im a dentist in Israel and we do the same thing on four or six or 8 implants with fixed ceramic crowns not acrylic denture. we charge 1000 C$ for implant plus crown.

it's me again: well i think i didn't explain what i really wanted to say: i WILL get this procedure done -- am going to start a "short term" savings plan that will see me get these babies put in -- dr. gassan: 1000 is not a lot of money but what if there are complications and you can't go to any dentist in canada after getting this procedure done somewhere else? i have had some conversations with dentists around here and they have told me a few "not soooo pretty" stories of botched procedures overseas -- but i do know some people who have had crowns done without any problems -- both my parents included, but again because i have had issues before i would want to have the reassurance that i can walk into an office and get help here

Dentists charge way too much and people are stupid enough to pay it.
Many people can`t access dental care and Dalton failed to live up to his election promise of uploading services and providing dental care for people who require it.

People are at risk for several reasons one the overuse of antibiotics to stave off the infection from bad teeth and the risk of creating super-bugs in local communities. Prevention and simple maintenance is key but that reduces the money making industry on the misfortune of others. It all caters to the elite and appeals to their vanity way too much money but that old saying " a fool and his money is soon parted"

Paranormal freak: Do you really want Buck Teeth, even if cheaper. Every noted most Asian Teeth (in Asia)?

My wife has had a titanium transplant and I consider a couple of new teeth (would then give me 2) but had to have the titanium in for almost 3 months prior to tooth inplant to insure no rejection to the titanium. How do they do it in one day? Taking a real chance if you do have a reaction.

To Doctor Gassan,

is that $1.000 per implant?
I like Windsor not bad for 12K ,last time I got a quote was in New Jersey ten years ago they were asking 28K
Either way no christmas presents for the grand kids this year I'm saving for my new implants.
