Q: How should a patient “comparison shop” respectfully, if negotiating, due to finances. Will it reduce the quality material(s) choice(s) of the professional due to low mark-up at a lower total fee? What materials to avoid, that do not last as long?
A: Most of the reputable dental implant companies manufacture quality materials. There are companies from China that had lead contaminated implants recalled several years ago. Remember, you get what you pay for. Be aware.
