My dentist quoted me $4,500 to get an upper first premolar (4th teeth from the center) replaced with and implant

Shop around, if the prices are still unreasonable then start looking around Tijuana Mexico. Even with the cost of a plane ticket it will still be cheaper.

lol fucking canada on its high horse and it doesn't even provide dental. probably doesn't provide vision either

meanwhile I have health and dental for like 15 bucks a month.

I was quoted 3k in North Carolina. didn't bother but if I ever save up enough money I'd consider it.

Kitchener

jesus, that sucks

>ontario canada

my nigga

you could probably get it down for half that in Mexico or something

jesus christ
thats expensive
i know implants are expensive but does it have to be 10x as expensive as in netherlands?

HA HA! Toothlet!

yeah but you're gonna get SHOT by the POLICE in america! or your fellow citizens!!! hurrr

Brush your teeth with calcium phosphate. Google "teeth reminilization"

I've had the exact same issue you do and it grew back (something modern science says is impossible) also bone broth is super important when doing it.

Does it really only cost $450 in the Netherlands? Even without insurance?

nope that's par for the course. that's why you should have dental insurance (i.e. work)

I have dental insurance. The insurance will only pay for half because that's the price they decided is fair (which is probably unrealistic).

i dont know exact prices my man, i havent gotten implant. But i know costs are regulated across the country and it probably keeps them down a bit

Ok i put stupid shit up its not 10x as much

says 1880euro full service
idk

i thought you niggers had free healthcare

I paid €4500 for mine in Western Europe.

The procudure and recovery was painful, but it's worth every cent. If you can't afford it, ask for cheaper alternatives.

Can any foreigner walk into a Dutch dental clinic and get treatment? I heard most Dutch people very good English, but medical professionals might be reluctant to communicate with patients in non-native languages because of chance of misunderstanding.

My tooth has to be pulled. The only other option is dental bridge, which is more prone to failure, and the quote for that was $3,500.

im polish, but i work here, i have insurance in netherlands, but it doesnt cover dental costs. And lately i had issue with my tooth, they ripped it out and i was charged 40~euro, bill came in post.
I didnt get implant, so i have hole in there now
Very nice service, and im going to fix rest of my teeth (at least 2 to rip out and few to fix with fill ins) this november.

I dont know if you can just take trip here, but it would be probably even cheaper in places like Poland. And in private clinics done as well as in western europe.

I just dont want to drive to poland by car or fly because its a hassle for me really.

Dentist here, you're better off with an implant, lasts a longer time than a dental bridge and is less problematic in the long run.

Dental bridges also require you messing up the tooth before and after the one that must be removed to have some space to build up the restoration on both teeth to support the part of the bridge over the removed tooth.

That's a massive ripoff for a single implant mate.

This board hasn't been Health and Fitness for a long time mate. The board name was changed for a reason.

Nigger what the fuck. I got quoted at 10k for 8 teeth, was in a bad accident and broke them. That's a ripoff.

My parents paid something like 6000 or 7000€ for two implants of mine (implants+crown), it was 7 years ago.

Thing is pretty good, people never notice until you tell them and it feels almost like a real tooth. Also it last decades (a whole life maybe ?), so if you can afford it i recommand it.

>posting a health related question on a health and fitness board.

>Not having all of your teeth removed and replaced with implants
Y'all are a bunch of poor people

>gets stabbed by an Arab wandering the streets of Toronto
>thanks perpetrator

>gets shot by another Asian gang in Vancouver
>licks each members asshole as a sign of respect for their culture

ah! the beautiful and marvelous land of Canada where we have free healthcare*
Burgers BTFO! How will they ever recover?!

*Healthcare does not include dental, vision, general check ups or healthcare provided by a licensed health professional. Healthcare will be provided by an under qualified Indian migrant who doesn't speak English. Healthcare will incur fees amounting to 40% of your income whether or not you use or need any healthcare.

>health and fitness
No, just fitness

Not even us in Sweden have free dental care, you're really delusional if you think that should be included

Hire me pls, recent RDA graduate and apparently nobody hires male RDA's in my city. Going to uni soon for Hygeine or Dentistry, whichever my grades let me do.

>herr i dont wanna pay for everyone else
>except for roads of course
>and public schools
>and the military
>and the disabled
>and retirees
>and medical research
>and infrastructure
>stupid socialists

Tbh if you did this ie all twenty four teeth it wouldn't be more than 20k out of pocket, they're ripping you off.
I had a 3 tooth bridge implant that was around 2k which was high for that

Bad photoshop, GTFO.

You say this as if Sweden has any redeemable qualities whatsoever.

Your country is a dead man walking.

I live in India, where a similar procedure, uninsured costs 25,000 rupees (cad $481). You could technically fly to india, get it done here, and go back for less money.

>force population to pay for socialized medical care
>do absolutely everything in their power to make it worse than fucking third world tier
None of that would be a fucking problem if the quality was worth 30% of my income

stfu I like this question

>Does $4,500 to get one tooth replaced seem kinda high to you
Nope that's about right. I had to have three replaced and it came out to about that.

In my country for 4500$ you can get like 10 teeth replaced

yup just checked ~380 / teeth

>implying roads and infrastructure are paid for with taxes and not from car registration fees

>take flight to Japan
>$650
>get it fixed at local dentist who'll do a root canal and a crown
>without insurance, pay $450
>fly back
>bite piece of shit dentist's ear off

Europoor here

I got 5 screw ins for just over 5000eur

Not sure what that is in canadian.. but sounds like you're getting ripped off.

You can probably book a 5 day holiday to europe and get your dental work done there and it would still be cheaper overall (srs)
