I had my implants done by Dr. Adan Noel Michel Brixon, very good work. He is on Aldanaca #170 in Versalles, phone # 224-9761.

I am curious, roughly what is the cost per implant? If you don't mind sharing. thanks

My cost for extractions, bone grafting ,6 implants, and 10 teeth all uppers was just over 12,000.00 US.

thanks.

Dr. Michel is a very capable dentist, he has done some work for me.

I hope you have researched this procedure. It can be a very long process, as the cowbone grafts sometimes do not take and they have to be done again. Joe, didn't it take you a year for this whole thing to be accomplished?

When I needed an implant with a bone graft about 3-4 years ago, Dr. Michel proposed having an oral surgeon fly down from Guadalajara to do the graft. For one tooth, that didn't make it much better economically than having the graft/post insertion done in the US. I did have him do the crown/tooth afterwards at about $800, roughly 1/3 of a dentist in N. Cal. My dentist in the US said he did an excellent job.
