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😁

Two operations on same person in Australia in 1991:
1. Eye surgeon: Corneal graft - surgeon cut the cornea off the eye, replaced it with another cornea, sewed the cornea on by hand. And everything associated with it. One of the best eye surgeons in the country.
2. Dentist: fix broken tooth: Charged more than the eye surgeon.

Comparable? Yeah, right!

@Abstraction There seems to be no interest with the Authorities querying this obvious price gouging.
Yet if Dentistry was affordable, them more people would be able to get work done before the teeth became ruined.
