Re: Dentist Q's .....

Hi Deb ..... $ 52,000.00 for your implants ? ... ?? .... that is not just
OVERpriced .. that is UNsane !! ... I went to a local dentist who was going to
do the whole-package for me .... and it was 30k$. And I almost fell out of the
chair.

HOW do they figure all this? ... 2500$(full retail cost) for top-of-the-line
dentures PLUS the implant posts(mini or regulars) that cost them maybe 10-50$
each ....and then THE REST is LABOR(and gravy for them).

HOW do these people sleep at night "robbing" Joe-Citizen like this?
