Dr. Receveur’s unique method of Dentistry means that for nearly every patient there is still hope and several options to choose from. After you choose one of Dr. Receveur’s exclusive options to permanently solve your missing tooth and denture problems, you’ll feel great about yourself having regained the normal chewing, long-lasting beauty, and comfort that you deserve.
Dentistry that works well and is long lasting is not the least expensive route to go. We wish it wasn’t true, but it simply is. The good news is that the type of dentistry we are talking about usually lasts our patients the rest of their lives.
Frequently when people call on the phone, they ask, “Can You Give Me an Idea on What This Will Cost?” Attempting to give you an exact amount for your specific situation over the phone is difficult because everyone and their situation is different. Dr. Receveur offers a complete dental physical (CDP) examination so you can see what all of your options are and what your situation and condition allows as far as treatment.
What to Expect at Your CDP:
At your CDP, we take digital photographs, impressions of your mouth, a 3D Galileos CAT Scan and gather every bit of information we can to evaluate your situation. Many people with missing teeth and denture problems are suffering from “Facial Collapse”. When teeth and bone are lost over the years, the lower half of the face looks “older”. The upper and lower jaws close together more, making the corners of the mouth and the lower half of the face have more lines and creases.
Dr. Receveur can show the patient what their face would look like with their mouth restored by simply putting a couple cotton rolls or gauze between their back teeth or in areas of collapse. Restoring this “collapse” or loss of “vertical dimension” makes the lower half of the face look “younger”.
We also take a 3-Dimensional Galileos CAT Scan (value $525 at most hospitals) so Dr. Receveur can very accurately evaluate how much bone you have. You CAN NOT know as much about how much bone the patient has with a two-dimensional x-ray as you can with a 3-Dimensional x-ray (CAT Scan).
A two dimensional x-ray is the type of x-ray that you get at most dental offices when having regular dental care. Do not let anyone tell you that you don’t have enough bone for implants if you’ve never had a CAT Scan. Most doctors that place implants full-time and are committed to the implant profession have a CAT Scan right in their office.
With all of the above information, Dr. Receveur will sit down with you, listen to what your desires and concerns are, and put together usually several options that would fit your situation. Most of our patients that go forward with treatment say something like “I can’t believe how much time he spent with me.” Or they’ll say “He was so patient and spent so much time alleviating my fears and explaining everything”. Or “You can tell he loves what he does. He has so much enthusiasm in his voice when he talks about what he’s recommending”.
What Kind Of Options are Available? How Much Do They Cost?
Before we get involved in the discussion of treatment options and the costs involved, we want to make it extremely clear that the way we do things is different than most other offices. We do all of your care right here in our office, so when we quote you a fee for your treatment, It Includes Everything!
In other words, many other offices will tell you their fee for an implant, and it ONLY includes the implant. It does NOT include the CAT Scan, the abutment, the crown, the bridge or your new Permanent Teeth. You have to go somewhere else, another dental office or to the hospital for a CAT Scan, to get the rest of your care finished. We get questioned about this all the time. The fees quoted here are for all of your treatment, from start to finish. If you get a second opinion somewhere else, be sure you are comparing “Apples to Apples”.
If You Have No Teeth, Are Wearing Dentures, Or All Your Natural Teeth Are “Shot”
New “Permanent Teeth” can be attached to implants and are either fastened permanently or removable from the implants. Removable is less complex and thus less costly. We offer “Teeth-in-A-Day”, Snap-On-Teeth, Mini-Dental Implants and All-On-4 so you have many options!
Fixed or “Permanent Teeth” like the All-On-Four is one of the best options, being fastened permanently to the teeth and being the most stable. The All-On-Four is $20,000 to $25,000 per jaw. The only disadvantage to this option is the cost. Dr. Receveur has traveled to Lisbon, Portugal to study under Dr.Malo, the innovator of the All-on-Four.
Removable or “Snap-On-Teeth” are an option that a lot of patients choose. Two advantages with this option are the ease of caring for them and the fact that they are often 20-30% less expensive than a fixed (All-On-4) option. The removable option can range in cost between $7500 and $16,000 per jaw. This is a very solid option that we have no reservation recommending.
If you need to keep the cost of your treatment below the numbers that we talk about above, then keep reading. Maybe your best choice is to choose Mini-Dental-Implants.
Mini-Implants now start as low as $4,000-$5,000 per jaw Mini-Implants do a decent job of stabilizing a lower denture. Mini-Implants are great to utilize in areas of thin bone or where years ago we would have done bone grafting before having implants placed. We NO LONGER recommend stabilizing an upper denture with Min-Dental Implants. We won’t recommend any treatment that we wouldn’t recommend for our own family or staff. We’d be happy to discuss our thoughts here, because we know there are other practitioners using mini-implants for denture stabilization on the upper jaw.
If You Are Missing One, Two or Several Teeth: For single teeth, a dental implant (with the abutment and crown) is approximately $3000 (or more), depending on your situation, of course.
We are happy to explain the pros and cons of each treatment option with you. You will find Dr. Receveur to be very accommodating in trying to help you understand all of your choices and help you try to find an option that fits your needs and your budget.
Sedation Dentistry For The Fearful: The cost for Oral and IV Sedation dentistry (where you “sleep” through the visit) if no dentistry or dental implants are involved, is around $395.
Your next step is to have a complete dental physical examination so you are no longer guessing about what your care will cost. The sooner you do, the sooner you’ll be on your way to comfortable chewing and a smile you’ll be proud of.
