How much would it cost to get an implant and crown?

August 6th, 2010
Q.
During an operation for knee replacement surgery(private hospital) a front crown was fractured by the anaesthetist. Initially the hospital agreed to repair treatment which would involve an implant as there was insufficiant bone for a new crown to be fitted. Part of the operation was carried out by the dentist attached to the hospital. In July I had a letter from the hospital saying they would not pay for my implant as the anaesthetist was an independent practitioner – and hence she was responsible. The process has stalled, so I am now in a position where I have had a titanium post in place for almost 4 months, and no idea what happens next. My question is, how much would it cost approximately to complete the process ie to put in the implant

All costs vary depending on th… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
