Having had 3 dental implants for around $4000 per tooth I can tell you there is a lot more to it than just the screw. Implying the screw alone costs $3000 trivializes the year long effort from start to finish.

Wow! We have a local dentist that does them for $600.
$600? Now that's a dentist I would avoid!

My comment was definitely an understatment - you are absolutely correct.
(This is number nine in a dozen years for me and when healed will allow me to continue to eat steaks right along with others - priceless!)

At $3,000 a tooth, that translates to around $36,000 for the whole set. It would be a lot cheaper to go with the dentures and cut the steak into smaller bites. Save the money and buy a camera or two.

That screw looks like it will be there forever. I wonder if they used Loctite on it.

No because I don't screw around with crappy dentistry.
