Negotiation Tips

Dental implant costs typically include three separate components: the implant post ($1,000-2,000), the abutment ($500-1,000), and the crown ($1,000-2,000) -- negotiate each separately
Dental schools and teaching clinics offer implants at 30-50% below private practice rates with supervision by experienced faculty
Ask about bone grafting charges -- these can add $500-3,000 and may not always be necessary
Many dental offices offer financing or payment plans for implants -- negotiate a cash-pay discount of 10-20% if paying upfront
