What is the cost of dental implants?

It’s true that dental implants tend to have a higher upfront cost than other tooth replacement options. However, they also can last much longer and preserve oral health in ways bridges or dentures might not. The cost of an implant will depend on the number of implants, the need for any additional procedures (like bone grafts or sinus lifts), and the type of restoration placed on it (crown, bridge, denture). To break it down

For a single tooth implant, there are typically separate fees for the surgical implant placement, the abutment, and the crown. We will give you a comprehensive quote that includes all these components so you’re not caught by surprise later.

If multiple teeth are being replaced with implants, the cost per tooth can sometimes be a bit less than doing each individually (for example, two implants might support a three-tooth bridge).

Implant-supported full dentures (“All-on-4” concept or similar) have a different cost structure, often packaged for the entire treatment including temporary and final prosthetics.

We understand cost is a significant factor, and we strive to keep our pricing competitive for the quality of care and materials we provide. During the planning phase, we can discuss different options that might affect cost – for instance, choices of abutment material or crown material, or even alternative treatments if implants are outside budget.

​

Insurance coverage for implants varies. Some insurance plans now offer partial coverage for implants (recognizing them as standard of care), while others still might only contribute what a bridge or denture would cost. We will help you navigate your insurance and can send preauthorization requests to get an idea of their coverage. Additionally, we offer payment plans or financing options because we want to make implants feasible for those who desire them.

Ultimately, while the initial cost can be higher, patients often find implants to be a worthwhile investment given the improvements in function, comfort, and confidence – not to mention avoiding the ongoing costs and inconveniences sometimes associated with dentures or replacing bridges.
