4 in 1 dental implants

Is the quoted cost for full upper and lower jaw? If so, the amount sounds about right - I believe the “4 in 1” means you have 4 implants in the jaw and these then support bridges holding the rest of the teeth. My dentist explained it all to me as an option but I chose to have 3 single implants instead as I still have several good teeth and I didn’t want any healthy teeth removed.

If you can afford it, it’s an alternative to full dentures.

I do think it is very expensive. My implant was last year, on a molar, and it was £3300 - a lot of money, but well worth it. If you had four single implants done, that equates to £13,200, which allowing for inflation, would still only be just over half the cost you have been quoted - and you wouldn’t have the worry of the bridge failing, because each tooth would be anchored separately.

Do you mean "All on 4" where a sort of row of teeth (like a bridge) is fitted to 4 implants?

If so, no. I have no info on this and confess it's "not for me".
If you do go ahead I'd make sure you have a "brand" that is widely used (and preferably international) as it would be grim if something went wrong later and you needed to start again from scratch.

Good grief you all live in a different world to me

And me, Would love to have had implants but way way above what I could afford to pay so I have had to settle for a top denture not ideal but that cost me over £1000
I see a lot of people now, walking around with a lot of teeth missing or sometimes no teeth at all. It’s a dreadful state of affairs.
And it horrifies me that children now have to pay to see the Dentist

I had a single implant, and so has DH. No problems at all. I wouldn't hesitate to have another. £26000 sounds steep though

I had one implant about 6 years ago at a cost of £1900 but prices have gone up considerably since then. I had no problems at all and would go down the implant route again if I needed to.

I've had one implant -a lower right back molar. It's been a life changer allowing me to eat again on the right hand side of my mouth. No trouble at all with it.
I wish all my teeth were implants.

I’ve had a dental implant, one tooth only, and it took several months, because the implant post was regularly changed for a slightly larger one as the bone grew around it, to make sure it was fully embedded. It should last for the rest of my life. I think the ones which are done in a day, particularly with a bridge of more than one tooth can’t be as secure, I’d do some research on how long the implant will last before committing yourself.

No the 0 are correct

sorry...........but is there perhaps one 0 too many? Just asking
