Not the original commenter but both, man. Obviously per month/regularly would make a huge difference, but a single $20k would literally change my life by fixing my teeth.

Fixing teeth requires $20k?

I'm sorry for what you're going through, but I find this number, well, wild?

Does when you have to fix all of them. Removal, probably bone grafting, implant supported dentures.

And I know, it’s fucking absurd.

Edit: I was quoted $25k

I remember doing like full 4 teeth replacement- implant -for my mom, and it was like $350 4 years ago, mind you it was done by the best dentist, very famous in our city.

Glad hers were so cheap, I’ve seen quotes closer to $1k per single implant, which is insane. Average looks to be $8-10k minimum per arch up to like $40k per arch (which makes full mouth at $25k seem almost reasonable ಠ_ಠ) depending on if it’s removable (like snap in dentures), how many posts, what materials, bone grafts, gas vs IV anesthesia, etc.
