It is no surprise that implant quotes differ, because you need to be sure two offers cover the same thing. The main factors are these.
Implant brand and type
Products from different manufacturers can differ in research evidence and surface technology. Ask in writing which brand and model will be used.
Bone and gum condition
If bone is insufficient, extra procedures such as a bone graft or sinus lift may be needed, which changes the overall plan. A panoramic X-ray and, where needed, a CT scan clarify the picture.
Crown material
Different materials such as zirconia or porcelain, and the laboratory work involved, make quotes differ.
How many implants and which approach?
Plans for a single tooth, several teeth or the whole jaw (for example All-on-4) have different scope and timing.
Physician, clinic and technology
Digital planning, surgical guides and a sterile environment all influence the process.
Follow-up and warranty terms
Follow-up appointments, who does what if a problem arises and the warranty scope should be written in the agreement.
How to compare quotes
- The same number of implants and the same crown material?
- Are the examination and imaging included?
- How will bone procedures be priced if needed?
- Are travel and accommodation separate?
A definite plan and amount can only be given after an oral examination and imaging.
