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.

Cost Estimate: $4300 to 5100 still depends on case
Having an implant placed is more then screwing it into the jaw bone. My advice is for you to find someone that does implants that is limited to the placement of implants. You get what you pay for in my opinion. Find someone that will plan the implant placement taking in concern the cosmetic result after integration of the implant. A dentist will charge a consultation fee yes but depending on office policies they may consider your consultation fee and absorb it into treatment if you start. Implant placement could range from 1800-2500 dollars then the restoring dentist will place the abutment and crown which can total between 1800- to 2300.00.

Cost Estimate: $
No Estimate at this time. Additional information required.
A consult would be a good idea, esp. for # 9 as esthetics are critical here. I place and restore implants which is helpful since these cases must be designed from the end result back to the implant placement for the most natural result. If you would like a brief and basic eval. (15 min. or so) and see some photos of prior cases I would be willing to do as a no charge visit. Then you would have a solid cost estimate to decide from (if you were a builder, I don''''''''''''''''t think you would want to bid on house without at least seeing the lot first). I am in Alameda Tue, Wed, and Thurs. at 521-3344, Alameda-dentist.com, Dr. Hinkle. PS My front desk lady, Lisa, is on vacation this week and we are catching the phone/msg''''s in between patients, so bear with us if you call. Thanks.
