Hi, I’m Dr. Pyo, dentist here at West Orange Easy Dental Implant Center. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of patients in West Orange, Livingston, South Orange, Montclair, and surrounding areas restore their smiles—and I’ve also seen my fair share of dental implant regrets.

One of the biggest reasons patients land in my chair after getting implants elsewhere? They were drawn in by the low price tags: $399, $799, $999. Sound familiar?

Those prices show up in Google ads, billboards, and flashy social media posts all the time. And listen—I completely understand why people click. Dental implants aren’t cheap, and when you see a deal that looks like it’ll save you thousands, it’s hard to ignore.

But before you book that “too good to be true” deal, here are 3 questions you need to ask—before you end up paying way more than expected.

Question #1: What Exactly Is Included in That Price?

Not All Implants Come with a Tooth

This is the biggest misunderstanding I see. When patients call our office and say,

“I saw an ad for $399 implants—can you match that?”

The first thing I ask is,

“Did that include the crown?”

Those ultra-low prices often only cover the implant post—the titanium screw that gets placed in your jaw. It doesn’t include:

• The abutment (the connector between the implant and the crown)

• The crown (the visible tooth that does the chewing)

• CT scans or x-rays

• Sedation or anesthesia

• Any necessary bone grafting or extractions

Question #2: Who Is Actually Placing the Implant?

Credentials Matter More Than Cost

You wouldn’t trust the cheapest surgeon for heart surgery, right? So why trust the cheapest dentist for something surgically placed into your jawbone?

Many of the discount clinics advertising bargain implants use:

• General dentists with minimal implant training

• Traveling providers who aren’t available for follow-ups

• High-volume, low-touch practices that treat patients like numbers

Question #3: What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?

Follow-Up Matters More Than the First Visit

Here’s what most people don’t think about: what happens after the surgery?

• What if something feels off during healing?

• Who do you call if the crown chips?

• What if your body doesn’t take to the implant the first time?

Many low-cost clinics don’t offer post-op support—or worse, they charge extra for every visit beyond the initial placement.

Why Cheap Doesn’t Always Mean Affordable

The Hidden Costs of Discount Dentistry

There’s a big difference between cheap and value. The real cost of a $399 or $799 implant could include:

• Paying again to fix poor work

• Experiencing pain or infection from rushed procedures

• Living with a visible aesthetic problem due to bad positioning

• Losing more bone due to improper planning

Frequently Asked Questions

Do $399 or $799 dental implants include the crown?

No. These prices usually cover only the implant post. The crown, abutment, scans, and follow-up visits are typically charged separately.

Are cheap dental implants safe?

That depends on who places them. Low prices may reflect rushed care or inexperience. Choosing a qualified provider reduces risk significantly.

How long does a full dental implant procedure take?

Most implants require a few months to fully complete, allowing time for healing, crown design, and bite adjustments.

Can insurance help with implant costs?

Yes—many PPO dental plans cover parts of the implant process. Our team is happy to check your benefits and explain your options.
