Also super expensive for implants

    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 ended up just having the extraction.
