Yeah, implant itself costs close to us$800 and installing it costs at least as much, and crown + installation will cost me at least 500. And dentistry considered extremely cheap here compared to other places.
I was quoted $8,000 for a single implant. The dentist told me my option was to just have the tooth extracted, because I still have my wisdom teeth and the other teeth could move over to fill in the gap.
I also checked out going to Costa Rica to have it done, where a US-trained dentist can do it for under $1,000.
I considered it, but it sounded like having the tooth extracted wouldn’t cause any issues, and my insurance paid for it. If things go bad, I can look into Costa Rica later.
Also super expensive for implants

that seems very low. my bros implant was 6000 for the whole treatment, for one tooth.
I’m from a poor country with somewhat decent healthcare, 2500 usd is a lot around here.

I ended up just having the extraction.
you dint consider Costa rica? maybe too shoddy. i knew someone who went to thailand for dental work.

just be weary of them using any new tech, like robotic to do your implants. my parent did this and it was somewhat shoddy work,
