- Board Certified Prosthodontist and Board-Certified implant Dentist, Dr. David McFadden, discusses the typical common practice of patients having to pay in full - in advance - before they can even schedule their dental implant treatment, and just how unfair he believes this practice is.
He shares his thoughts on what (in his opinion) IS fair and cites several reasons to think twice before agreeing to do this.

Thank you for being very honest about all of your procedures and being willing to help with the finances of getting expensive dental treatments.
Thank you for taking the time to make this videos, when ever you have some time it will be very informative to make a video on implant distribution, I am the dental technician that watches all of your videos and really appreciate your honesty.
Thanks for the request!
I just had this done in October. I'm paying cash out of pocket and my dentist broke it up into 3rds for me. I couldn't be happier with how things went and are going with this and I lucked out with finding this dentist as I had previously set up and paid for a consultation visit at another Office but they called and pushed back the appt date twice after I had already paid for the visit, and that was enough to give me pause, While it was a reputable place, I'm certain they do quality work & the Dentist has a UA-cam channel with good quality information , I'm happy I ended up where I did. I'm pretty picky especially about this, and if it's a problem getting me in for a consultation that indicates problems down the road as well
You are honest as the day is long. I am absolutely sure your mother is proud of you. The was you turned out to be a great person and a dentist. You are a great man!
I'm taking your advise by heart. I visited another, the estimate of all on 4 is only 1 line "D6900 All on 4 system", the dental specialist said, because it's a whole package including everything, it's easier. What do you think the reason behind this 1 line only and I couldn't find this dental code online at all. Is this a red flag? However, on snap on, it is broken down into different codes, like D6010. I thought I found a good local periodontist, but now this 1 liner thing bothers me. The specialist said I can pay in sections, not one lump sum.
How can you pay as you go when your getting finainced?
Because you’re only paying for each phase of treatment AS IT IS DONE, and not the entire fee for ALL treatment which, in some cases may ultimately take 12-18 months to complete. In other words, you’re not paying 12-18 months in advance for treatment that is yet to be done.
I am about my second dental restoration consultation, and I want to thank you on your advice on how to handle payment!
Happy to help!
Absolutely agree!
Ypure the first to recommend this, here in Florida mostly all required payment upfront, first of all its so hard to come up with that much money all at once and youre tught, what if things happen....any suggestions on nogotiating this at locations that do require upfront payments?
Ask if they’ll let you pay for only the stages being done and not prepaying for the stages that are months away from being done.
Thank you and my apologies for all the typos.
That seems like sound advice
First comment!!!! Thank you for what you do Dr. McFadden!!
You’re welcome!
I'm thinking about the procedure, but don't know how much it cost. Does anyone have an estimate for a full set?
It varies, depending on several factors. I’d be happy to try and give you an estimate if you want to contact my office and arrange to forward a recent panoramic X-ray for me to evaluate.
