People often bring us two or three quotes that look wildly different. Usually they aren’t quoting the same thing. This page explains what an implant quote should include, so you can compare like with like.
If any of these are missing, ask whether they’re extra. A low total can simply mean a partial quote.
Some quotes cover only the surgery. Others include the crown and follow-up.
Bone volume, gum health and the position of the tooth change what’s needed.
The type of crown or bridge, and whether you have sedation, affect the total.
Full-arch treatment has more stages, so check each one is listed.
Ask each clinic for an itemised written quote, and compare stage by stage. We give staged written quotes before any treatment, with HICAPS claiming and payment plans available.
