If you’re buying something for yourself that’s designed to be used regularly and to last, such as a food mixer or a vacuum cleaner, then it stands to reason that you would shop around and make price comparisons in order to get the best deal. More especially if the product you’re buying requires a hefty investment such as a car or a diamond ring. The same philosophy could be applied to dental implants; only there’s one significant difference. When you buy a car or a vacuum cleaner you’re buying a product, but dental implants can’t really be considered a product. What you’re actually paying for is a set of procedures or a process.
Product vs Process
Think about it this way. If you’re buying an appliance from a store then price is probably the main concern. Once you get it home, then provided it’s the same model, it doesn’t really matter where you bought it from. Dental implants on the other hand are different to a product. Unlike taking it the way it comes, implants are best viewed as a means of reaching your goal of replacing missing or damaged teeth with great looking, fully functioning prosthetic teeth. The thing is, you don’t just pick them up off a shelf and take them to the checkout. Instead, you go through an exciting process of deciding how you’d like your new teeth to look, having them custom made and fitted and then seeing a beautiful looking smile staring back at you in the mirror.
Moving towards your goal
The dental implant procedure is a lengthy one which involves several stages and each stage as it is completed brings you one step closer to your goal. From the first initial consultation through to the last follow-up appointment, each stage should be handled professionally, expertly, and thoroughly. This is where the difference between dental implant providers become more apparent.

Investment in quality
