How Much Does A Dental Implant Cost?
The cost of dental implants can vary greatly from patient to patient because of a number of factors, but it mainly depends on the number of implants needed to replace patient’s teeth. On average, restoring a single tooth with an implant typically costs around $4,000, and while this may seem much more expensive than other treatments, dental implants are often the best financial and clinical choice for a patient.

Why Dental Implants
Dental implants have a 95% success rate and have been shown to last for 30 years or more in many cases. Traditional dental bridges and dentures of any kind don’t have nearly this same level of reliability and typically need to be replaced every 5-7 years. Plus, because dental implants restore the root structure of your teeth, they also help maintain the strength and shape of your jaw. This is a benefit that other treatments simply don’t offer, and when you combine that with the fact that implants are often a one-time cost for many patients, most people end up saving thousands of dollars in the long run while avoiding unnecessary discomfort over the long term.
Factors that Affect the Cost of Implants
While the cost of dental implant posts and their placement is the main factor affecting the price of your treatment plan, there are additional variables that can impact the cost of your smile restoration. In most cases, dental implants and their surgical placement are not covered by dental insurance providers, but luckily, many of the other services involved in this advanced restoration process are covered. Your replacement teeth, preparatory tooth extractions, and even sedation may be covered by your dental benefit plan. Some of the costs to consider include:
- Preparatory treatments – you may need one or more teeth extracted and/or a gum or bone tissue graft
- Sedation – to ensure your comfort, safety, and relaxation you may choose to receive dental sedation
- Material used – the type of material we use to craft your dental implant post and tooth replacement prosthetics
- Number and position of teeth – the number of missing teeth and their location in your smile impact the complexity of surgical implant placement
- Replacement teeth – whether you need one dental crown or full denture to replace missing teeth, your tooth replacement prosthetic impacts the cost of treatment
