Curious to know cost of Dentistry in your Country

I was reading the paper and came across a Dentistry ad for Dental Implants.
No Prices displayed.
Curiosity saw me send them an email asking the price of full upper and lower teeth.
I was staggered with the response.
Full upper or lower...$32,000
Full set, upper and lower....$50,000
Most health insurers here do not cover implants.
Those that do charge high premiums and still only cover a small percentage of the cost.
I mentioned the cost to my GP Doctor and he said they are ripping the public off.
He also said the reason the cost is so high is so the Dentist can buy his next Mercedes😁

@Amyrakunejo They get away with it because there are enough people around with money to pay the cost.
Low income/unemployed/pensioners have no hope of affording such prices.
Those are the people who need dentistry work the most.
