Yeah, implant itself costs close to us$800 and installing it costs at least as much, and crown + installation will cost me at least 500. And dentistry considered extremely cheap here compared to other places.
I was quoted $8,000 for a single implant. The dentist told me my option was to just have the tooth extracted, because I still have my wisdom teeth and the other teeth could move over to fill in the gap.
I also checked out going to Costa Rica to have it done, where a US-trained dentist can do it for under $1,000.
I considered it, but it sounded like having the tooth extracted wouldn’t cause any issues, and my insurance paid for it. If things go bad, I can look into Costa Rica later.
Also super expensive for implants

I ended up just having the extraction.
you dint consider Costa rica? maybe too shoddy. i knew someone who went to thailand for dental work.

that seems very low. my bros implant was 6000 for the whole treatment, for one tooth.
I’m from a poor country with somewhat decent healthcare, 2500 usd is a lot around here.
