Hi Guys

I was quoted €2,700 for dental implant by my dentist in Dublin, has anyone been quoted a cheaper price in Dublin recently?

Any response appreciated.

I got a dental implant of a molar recently; got it in 3dental; cost €1850 including the surgical extraction of the original tooth. I was very happy with 3dental; worked out nearly half the cost of my local dentist. I had 9 visits in total, would not even consider going to Turkey etc.
If you DM me I can give you the name of the dental Surgeon
 
Does the €2700 include the cost of the crown?

I paid €1200 for the implant and about the same for the crown. The implant was done by a specialist who I would highly recommend. Two painless 20 min visits about 6 months apart for the implant is all it took. My dentist did the crown shortly after the implant was in place.

Also, don't forget to claim on a MED2 form.
 
You might need a bone graft if there is insufficient bone for the dental implant. This adds to the cost and duration of the procedure.
Does your quote include the extraction of the original tooth (or what’s left of it)?
 
Thanks guys cost includes extraction along with implant /crown
 
Is tax relief at 20% or 40%?

Are you sure that implants can be deducted from tax using the MED2 form? In subsection G of the MED2 form, Implants are mentioned, but only "following treatments of periodontal(gum)disease". It seems that regular implants due to missing teeth cannot be deducted.
 
The link that I posted provides some clarification on what sort of implant work qualifies for tax relief. There is further detail available from the Revenue website. If in doubt that any specific expense qualifies then ask Revenue or get professional advice.
 
I had the implant done at a specialist clinic. When I asked for the Med 2 form the secretary had not included the cost of the initial consultation and scan (x-ray). The Med 2 form said that all non routine treatment is covered (or words to that effect). I queried it with Revenue and they confirmed that everything related to the non routine treatment should be included on the Med2.

They didn't ask if it was because of periodontal disease. It wasn't in case you're wondering.

Implants are non routine in my view but maybe they are becoming more common nowadays. They are certainly less routine than a root canal or crown and they are both eligible for tax relief.

The Revenue website lists implants as being allowed to be deducted without conditions on the MED2 form. I read somewhere yesterday that the MED2 form is very old (not updated and the information on it is misleading) from a time when implants were not popular.
