Costs of Each Alternative

Many patients know nothing about the cost of oral procedures. The cost of each procedure must be stated in comparative terms. Currently, an average implant placement costs about $1,800. An average abutment cost is about $400, and the final crown costs about $1,000, for a total of approximately $3,200. Unless these costs are explained and compared to the costs of the other alternatives, a lawsuit may be imminent if the patient suffers a failure of the implant treatment.
