I live in an affluent area. Recently I got a dental implant. My best friend, who lives in a poor area, also got one. \u00a0She was talking about how incredibly expensive it was. \u00a0But, it turns out hers \u00a0was several thousands dollar cheaper. \u00a0Does where she live make it cheaper? Would I be better off slumming it in her neighborhood?<\/p>\n

The geographical area that a practice is located can have an affect on price. \u00a0Most of that is the leasing costs. \u00a0For instance, Dr. Peck is only a short distance away from Scottsdale, AZ. \u00a0The cost of living is higher in Scottsdale, so by being right outside of it he saves money on his location. \u00a0That is a savings that he passes on to his patients. Making him a very affordable dental option for residents of Scottsdale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That being said, there could be other reasons why her implant cost so much less that yours. Maybe she went to an inexperienced dentist who lowered his prices significantly to draw people in. \u00a0Or maybe he uses parts that are lower quality in order to have low prices without affecting his profit margin. \u00a0Neither of these reasons would be good for your friend.<\/p>\n

Cheaper doesn’t necessarily mean affordable quality.<\/p>\n
