Introduction: The Elephant in the Room

Let’s address the fear directly.

You search for dental implant prices in the United States or Europe and see figures like $30,000 to $60,000 for full mouth reconstruction. Then you look at prices in the Philippines — and they are 60–70% lower.

Your first reaction is natural:

“It looks too cheap to be true. Is it safe?”

This article is not here to sell you anything. It is here to analyze the value proposition versus the risk perception.

If you are:

In 2025, dental implant prices in the United States continue to rise due to inflation, laboratory fees, insurance limitations, and high clinic operating costs.

Average 2025 Cost in the USA:

• Single dental implant: $3,500 to $6,000 per tooth
• Bone graft (if needed): $800 to $3,000
• All-on-4 full arch: $25,000 to $35,000 per arch
• Full mouth restoration: $50,000 to $70,000

Now compare this to the Philippines.

Average 2025 Cost in the Philippines:

Dental bone grafting is a common procedure before implants. It rebuilds lost jawbone so a dental implant can be placed securely.

But what happens when a bone graft fails?

Many patients panic when swelling, pain, infection, or graft exposure occurs. A common question is:

Can a failed bone graft be redone?
And if it failed, can I sue my dentist?

Let’s break this down clearly and professionally.

Bone Graft Infection: Signs, Treatment & When to Panic

Dental bone grafting has a high success rate (around 90–95%), but infection remains one of the main complications patients fear.

Many patients panic when they feel increasing pain, swelling, or notice that their teeth seem to get worse day by day after surgery.

The key question is:
Is this normal healing — or a real infection?

What Is a Bone Graft Infection?

Dental bone grafting is a predictable procedure with a 90–95% success rate worldwide. However, studies consistently show a 5–10% failure rate — even when performed correctly.

One critical reason?
Not all patients are medically qualified for bone graft surgery.

Proper screening before surgery significantly reduces complications, implant failure, and legal disputes.

Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone volume before placing dental implants. It may involve:

• Autograft (patient’s own bone)
