Buyer beware! How many people stop and truly investigate anything before making a purchase? I know a lot that don’t. Sure, if we’re buying a house, we need to have an inspection before closing the deal - real estate agents are supposed to remind you of this. When we bought our current abode we were given a list of inspectors to choose from. However old suspicious me didn’t choose one of those on the list. I became aware of another inspector and called him. One of his comments caught my attention. "I really don’t like real estate agents and I don’t work for them." He inspected the house.
I’ve said all that to say this. After an emergency tooth extraction a couple of months ago, I started to look into my options for the missing tooth. They are, a partial, a bridge or an implant. While partials and bridges have been around for a long time, they don’t seem to be what would work best for me. So, I started investigating an implant. Do you have any idea how much those things cost? They ain’t cheap!
After some phone calls to local dentists and a check with my insurance, I found the prices vary widely. With just a few digits on the land-line, I saved over $2000. Life has taught me that even in medical services, buyer beware applies. You have to be sure you are getting the same service and you can have confidence in the provider.
When it comes to dental implants, should you decide to have all your teeth replaced you will have to make a choice. Dental implants or a house, new car, boat, trip around the world, money in the bank and retirement. That’s why it’s so hard to get an appointment at the dentist.
They are enjoying all those things you would have if you hadn’t gotten implants.
