Expert answer: what do you say when implant leads ask for cost before sending records?
Compare three ways to answer the cost question without flattening the conversation into cheapest-price shopping.
Expert answer
Acknowledge that cost matters, then move the conversation toward diagnosis and options: 'Most implant plans depend on bone, number of teeth, and whether we are replacing one tooth or stabilizing a full arch. The useful next step is a consult so we can tell you what actually applies to your mouth, then we can talk through financing.'
