Has anyone ever had a tooth implant?

3. That is why many people go abroad

There are people who find that the savings from getting implants done abroad - e.g. Thailand, Dubai, or various places in Latin America - more than pays for the cost of the trip.

Of course, there are issues with liability coverage if things go wrong, etc., which is part of why it is less expensive elsewhere.

I had a dental emergency (filling came out) in Thailand one time, and was referred to a local dentist by my hotel. Not only was I able to walk in for inexpensive treatment, but it was by far the most well-equipped and comfortable dental office I have ever visited, period.

As far as domestic options go, it's like any service business. How much does it cost to have someone wax your car? Well, that really depends on the type of customers that detailer is used to working with.
