recommend good Dentist? update

[nancyd]

hi all,
Can anyone recommend a "good" dentist who does dental implant? We saw two so far...the first estimated 3-4 thousand collards ( ouch)!!!
The second estimated 6,000.00. double ouch!! And that's for one tooth! OMG we could go on a European vacation for that...but can't eat!

Anyway, someone out there must have had an implant that's reasonable.
Much appreciate it for any suggestions.
My best,

I saw Dr. Huber in So. Burlington for my implant. Not sure if he's with Champlain Periodontal or Timberlane, but he's in that complex. Good luck!

hi ,
Thanks. Can you tell me the approximate cost? there seems to be a wide range at least between the two we saw already. One Dr. Is out of the question...office was dirty...won't go back there, and following the visit, my husband's tooth got infected!
thanks again.

Dr. Elizabeth Nelson in St. Albans is excellent. They have a very clean, modern office & equipment. Everyone there is very friendly. Good Luck.

My Mom went to a dentist in Cambridge right on main street and they referred her to one at Fanny Allen. She was very happy.

My family is happy with Essex Family Dental. Their prices seem reasonable and they have convenient Saturday and evening hours. They are behind the (red) shopping center across from Lowes off of Susie Wilson Rd

Wow...Is. This town great or what? thanks so much everyone! You have all been very helpful. I can't thank you enough!
it seems I am always reaching out to you good people through the forum, and you never fail to help us out.
If anyone out there needs nursing advice ( I am a retired nurse/ author), or you if you want to talk stained glass( my hobby), give a shout!
Thanks again....Happy Holidays!

Update:
After two days of research.....here is some general information for those needing a dental implant or fixed bridge.
Italy ... Many people travel there because the costs are so low... Implant there is about $500.00... but the airfare RT is about $1,300.00 and flight is 12 hrs.  Montreal ...implants there are about $3,000-4000.00 per tooth. Mexico is cheap, But right here in Burlington at the Community Health Center, they do implant with crown for $2,000.00. so given your options, Health Clinic in Burlington sounds right, just, and fairly affordable.
There are some risk factors for diabetics.....slower to heal and failure of implant is possible but still recommended even for persons with diabetes. Oh one other note... Smokers shouldn't smoke...also impedes healing.

Thanks but how expensive is He? Prices really go from 2,500.00 to 6,000.00. So cost is really important to me. Thanks so much.
