how much would a full dental implant procedure cost?

How much would a full dental implant procedure cost? its for 30 teeth idk if everybody has the same amount of teeth but there's 30 of them in my husbands mouth who wants them i was also wondering if anyone knew if badger care or forward health care would cover some of the cost if there is serious tooth decay on 8 teeth to where the tooth is only held on by a small piece of the tooth the rest is decayed into the gum and down to about the middle of the tooth and pieces of his teeth fall off occasionally and lots of small cavities on most of the others his teeth are very nasty looking and needs to be fixed before he gets Periodontal disease he didn't take care of his teeth before we were married and the decay was there but was not noticeable at the time but it is now painful for him to even brush his teeth even with the expensive sensitive tooth paste he is a heavy mountain dew drinker and refuses to give it up even if it kills him and he reuses to see a dentist because he don't want a dentist to pick at his teeth unless its to pull them out for the implant because his teeth hurt him so much so i would really like an estimate on a full dental implant procedure and if you know if my forward/badger state heath insurance would help with some of the cost
--------------------
Seriously look into making a vacation out of it.. Some go to Costa Rica, but prices are going up there as well.. Try it though, or Panama or Vietnam.. I would recommend it..!! In CR they are doing this for foreigners a lot http://www.dentalimplantcr.com/ This is just one, there are many you can ask estimates at.. And it is a very nice place to visit.. this one is probably on the expensive side for CR with their English website and all.. Love

Is this insurance fraud?

I recently had my wisdom teeth removed and I'm covered through my works dental and medical, and my dad's dental and medical. After the first 3 (all but my dad's dental) payed i got a bill stating i owed 340. the company who removed my wisdom teeth sent me a check for 375$ (the down payment I had to make) recently, after the last one went through. I looked at the bill and saw that I should have gotten more back as I owed 340 before the final dental went through, the final dental payed 800. 340+375=715, so what happened to the other 85? Well when I called up the company they said my bill was a different amount and that they'd send over the revised bill to me. Thing is they revised the bill after they saw how much my insurance paid. How is this legal? I live in Minnesota btw.
--------------------
It's not legal, go get yourself an attorney, and have him write a letter to get your 85.00$ back - he'll only charge 125$ for the letter.

Unforseen Dental Charges.. How can I deal with an unethical dentist:? ?

Long story short. I had an oral surgery consult back in July. I scheduled my oral surgery in August. I was told at that time I had a co pay of $115 for my extraction. Today I got a bill from this oral surgeon.... more than 6 weeks later. Showing I owe $300+ dollars that my insurance didn't cover.. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS! I FEEL THAT THE DENTAL OFFICE WAS VERY DISHONEST AND THAT NOW I AM STUCK WITH A HUGE UNFORSEEN BILL. ADVICE ON HOW TO FIGHT THIS??
--------------------
Your not going to like this answer, but technically it is YOUR responsibility to see how much, if any, your insurance will pay. The oral surgeon's office probably assumed you already knew you'd have to pay. I wouldn't fight the oral surgeon's office, I'd contact your insurance office. EDITED TO ADD: Co-pays are NOT final bills. It is very common and not unethical at all to charge a co-pay fee, and STILL end up owning a portion of the bill.

If I have no dental insurance?

My tooth broke last night and I also have other teeth problems on top of that. with no insurance and no spare money to pay out of pocket what do I do before I lose my teeth!!!=( Please help me (I couldn't afford the high plan from my job)

Go to a dental college they still charge a small price and you will be there all day but worth it. Some patients if picked get to keep going and get a lot of work done again for a small price.

Best dental insurance for braces?

Which dental insurances can you recommend for an adult seeking braces?
--------------------
I paid only $2200 for mine, they originally quoted me $4500 but because of this great plan I have, I got a great deal. I would strongly encourage you to visit this great website: www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up online over 5 years ago now and they have saved me thousands on all services. From xrays, cleanings, crowns...etc. All services are included in this very affordable plan. Though it may vary where you live, but the savings are great. They even had my benefits active in 2 hours and was able to use it the very same day. hope this helps.

i want toge braces and i have small gaps in my teeth probably about 3-4mm how long would i have to wear them.?

i want braces and i have small gaps probably about 3-4mm and i wanted to know how long would i have it on 1-10 wats the pain intensity and how much would it cost im 15 with dental insurance
--------------------
Its not a pain it's an 'ache' which is annoying but pain killers help just eat soft or liquid foods. Most people have them on for about 1 1/2-2 years. I don't think dental insurance covers braces... Plus if your 15 you'll have them longer than someone younger cause your growth is slowing but it'll still be fast cause your still growing.
