Not all dental implants are the same. Just like any manufactured product, some products are better than others. Low-end dental implants may be purchased for $50-70 per fixture, whereas dental implants produced by the industry leaders typically cost between $300-$500.

Some patients are attracted by internet advertisements offering low cost dental implants (for as little as € 850 or $1000 per implant) in countries such as Hungary, Russia, Brazil and Costa Rica. As tempting as these advertisings may be, please keep in mind that treatment in those countries will not include ongoing post-surgical care and you will have to fly back if something goes wrong with your treatment!

According to empirical observations, the rate of dental implant failure and complications is significantly higher for patients receiving low cost implant components. This is due to the limited amount of R&D spent by the low end manufacturers on implants design, as well as the fact that established dental implant specialists will rarely (if ever) expose their patients to the risks of placing second-rate, under-researched dental implant components.
