    As the others have said, that is actually cheap compared to Europe or the US.

    Still, in the P.I. that is a bit high. Ask her to try Dr. Manolo Imbo, he has a clinic @ West Portal, Silliman Avenue OR infront of HolyChild Hospital. I am planning of having an implant too, and he quoted 35-40K Php.

    I paid 14,000 pHP for a root canal and a local (yellow crown) haha... Was told next time will get the crown from Manila and it will be whiter.... so 3 teeth implantation for 20K... Best go to Cebu or Manila and get references... Figure real prices should be around 30 or 40k per tooth and expect a long process...

    This seems to be quite a high price, but like everything else you only ever get what you pay for and there is no substitute for quality. But at that price I would want some sort of guarantees and redress if things went wrong.

    Dental treatment in the UK is scandalously expensive (even though the dentists got their training at public expense) :mad: Three years ago I decided to get some extensive dental treatment; ( I had played rugby and boxed in my youth ) !!! I was quoted £12,500 (approximately 875000 peso) from British dentists. I got the same work done for £3250 (approx 227000 peso) in Budapest, Hungary and that included 3 return flights from London and 11 nights hotel accommodation. The standards, quality and facilities were world class, and it included a free check up, assessment and X-ray in Harley Street, London. Top quality location.

    I have no financial interest in this organistation, but I am more than happy to recommend a first class service. So, for the sake of any Forum members in UK/Europe who may benefit, I will provide the name of the clinic and web site if you PM me.

    Sorry Felisa, but implantation is NOT "putting in a new tooth".
    It is, primarily, the inserting of a titanium (or similar) post through one's gums deep into your jaw bone (if working on your bottom teeth). Then, if one is wearing a lower denture, the additional drilling out of the denture and inserting a cap and "O" ring so it will fit (clamp) over the inserted post now implanted in your lower jaw. For my lower denture, I needed three implants....call them posts...(Usualy requires four). Fortunately the implant Specialist (and it sould absolutely be a "Specialist") was able to use my existing lower denture for the "O" ring placements. Cost, in 2004, in USA, West Palm Beach, Fl was $5,000.00USD for all three implants only. If a single "tooth", or a new denture would have had to be made, the cost would have been correspondingly higher.

    Teeth Implantation Cost

    Roger et al;

    Yes, at first reading that price 9P 60,000K to P80K per implant) does seem a bit high...especialy after seeing someone elses post talking about 20K only!

    However, I just calculated my costs in West Palm Beach, Fl,USA, from back in 2004 for 3 implants in my lower jaw - using the same lower denture, and the cost was $1,666 for each seperate post (implant) = $5,000.00. So I guess her price isn't all that bad considering the sterilization of equipment, modern up to date equipment, professionalism....and IF the quality of the post is top -of-the-line.

    Hi Don,

    Please google the definition of tooth implants.

    I have had similar procedures that you had Itis a root canal with posts and a crown. Th e price you qouted is about right for the US.

    My brother had 5 implants done some 3 years back and that cost him 25k here in the US.
