I very much doubt the fee's are 10%. Looked at the prices in Costa
Rica?

Again, I know fact doesn't mean anything to you but:

http://www.cocori.com/library/life/med1.htm

According to your link, implants in Costa Rica cost $750-800. In the
states, they cost $1200-1800. (We're talking about the implant...not
the
abutment, and not the crown). That means they're about 50-65%...not 10%
as
you claimed.



My dentist and friend showed me a catalog of implant posts from some
company with the word "Gold" in its name...or something like that. The
posts were something like $125 each...titanium. This was six or seven
years ago. I wasn't shopping, but I was curious about the procedure.

The procedure is no fun, especially if they have to do a "sinus lift."

The procedure isn't too bad when the bone is solid and doesn't need ridge or
sinus augmentation.


That's what they all say!
