I am a sucker for great deals! I recently got a 67% off dental implants deal in my eamil and it totally caught my eye.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been consulting with my dentist regarding implants and his quote was several thousand dollars, so saving 67% sounds right up my alley! But there’s another part of me that thinks this may be too good to be true. Could a dentist really cut his rate by that much? My dentist is great, but if I can if I can get more affordable dental implants from someone else, I would consider switching just to get the implants. — Marla<\/p>\n

Marla,
\nWho doesn’t love to save money? Daily deals can be great for things like jewelry, household items and clothing, but when it comes to dental procedures like implants, your best advice would be to say, \u201cno deal!\u201d Most of the companies that distribute these deals are taking at least half of the the profits, so if this dentist is offering 67% off, he is making a very small profit.\u00a0 Think about it this way\u2026 if an implant normally costs $2000, the affordable price they are charging you is $660, and the dentist will only receive half of that amount.<\/p>\n

High-quality dental implant materials that have been approved by the ADA and FDA can cost anywhere from $300-$500. When you factor in the cost of the crown that goes on the implant any other materials he uses as well as his time and his office staff time, it\u2019s impossible to understand how or why he would make such an affordable offer, unless he\u2019s:<\/p>\n
