Your Mom: Going to a dental school is a really good idea since she isn't covered by insurance. I can't really give you a price since each dental school is different but most schools charge about 50% less It'll take about a week for her to heal and shouldn't be a hard precedure at all. You: First off, dental implants are not usually covered by insurance unless you have a super good plan. They are considered a cosmetic procedure which is why insurance companies don't cover them. But if you ARE covered they are very costly things. They cost about 1500-3000 dollars each. Depending on what your insurance covers, you can do the deduction. They are also very time consuming. First, an oral surgeon will drill a hole in to your bone. Once that has had time to heal they will place the actual dental implant post. This also needs time to adjust. It is very important to take good care of them or there is a possibilty it will fail. The last step is to place the crown or "tooth" on the post. It is a relatively painful procedure but so worth it!
