Dental implants and pricing conditions

Burnaby City Dentist identifies itself as Apple Dental Implant Centre and advertises a dental implant from $999. According to the published information, that price does not include the CT scan needed to determine the suitability of the implant type, which is an additional cost of $100. The amount reflects current costs for implants and crown or denture manufacturing for a typical patient; some cases may require additional work or a higher cost depending on the patient's condition, and the price may vary if the purchase costs of implants, crowns, or dentures change. The clinic offers an obligation-free consultation to evaluate each case.
