  "root": "restoration: Latin restaurare, to rebuild or renew, used in dentistry since the nineteenth century for anything put back into a tooth — a filling is a restoration. Full mouth is the trade's escalation of the same word to the whole dentition. Rehabilitation, the other term on these lists, is Latin habilitare, to make fit again.",

  "what": "Rebuilding both jaws: extractions where teeth cannot be kept, implants or bridges where they cannot be replaced otherwise, crowns on what remains, and often a raising of the bite. It runs over months and two or more trips, and it is the largest single bill in dental travel. No price page read for this record publishes one number for it.",
  "story": "What the price lists publish instead is the parts, and the parts are priced per arch.\n\nSani Dental Group in Los Algodones runs a full ladder for one jaw: an implant-supported overdenture on two implants at $3,270, on three at $4,520, an All-on-4 acrylic hybrid at $8,110 marked per arch, All-on-6 on MIS implants at $11,450, three-on-six at $11,190, All-on-6 on Nobel at $13,310. Underneath it, the conventional answer: a full acrylic denture, upper or lower, at $320. Bone graft $420 a unit, sinus lift $700.\n\nBangkok International Dental Center publishes the same choice as two sums: dental implants plus removable dentures from 70,000 plus 85,000 baht, dental implants plus fixed bridges from 140,000 plus 250,000, and All-on-4 or ProArch hybrid bridges from 290,000.\n\nMedicare Dental Clinic in Budapest prices its full-arch work in the two-line form it uses for everything — All-on-6 zirconium at €2,622 of treatment plus €1,748 of laboratory, €4,370 the arch.\n\n*Inference —* every one of those figures is half a mouth. A reader adding two arches, the grafts the pages price separately, and the second flight is doing arithmetic no seller has done on the page.\n\nThe state comparison is stranger still. In England the patient's share of a course of treatment containing crowns, dentures and bridges is a single band 3 charge of £332.10, however many teeth it covers. Two public systems, two different objects: one prices the mouth, the other prices the visit.",
  "how": "Assessment, imaging, a treatment plan, then staged work: extractions and implants first, healing for months, then the fixed work. Clinics selling to foreign patients compress it into two trips with temporaries in between, and the price pages read for this record do not say how long the gap is.\n\nWhat consistently sits outside the headline: the second arch, bone grafting and sinus lifting, the laboratory fee where the clinic prints it separately, and the clinic charges Bangkok lists — x-rays, medications, sterilisation, nursing and service fees — that its own page states are charged separately from every treatment on it.",
  "today": "As of 17 September 2026 the published per-arch prices for rebuilding one jaw run from $320 for a conventional denture and $3,270 for a two-implant overdenture to $13,310 for All-on-6 in Los Algodones; from 155,000 baht for implants with a removable denture to 390,000 for implants with a fixed bridge in Bangkok; and €4,370 for All-on-6 in Budapest. A mouth is two of those.",
