How much do dental implants cost?
Dental implants are a highly functional procedure which preserve jaw bone health, chewing strength and provide cosmetic benefits. Depending on your dental health needs and the goals for your smile, the cost of dental implants may be lower than you think.
There are many legitimate, dental health-related reasons to consider dental implants. After losing one or many teeth, you lose confidence in your smile and over time there is the potential loss of bone in the jaw which can lead to a less aesthetic smile. Dental implants prevent this bone loss, allowing you to maintain a youthful smile. Thankfully, dental implants have been around for decades and as dental implant technology has advanced, the costs have become much more affordable.
How much are dental implants?
The cost of dental implants varies depending on your provider, your insurance, and the number of teeth being replaced. A single dental implant can cost around $4,800, while full mouth dental implants can cost you $21,500 on average.
Those prices do not take into account insurance, dental plans, or any other discounts. But they also don’t include the costs of associated procedures. So, how bad is it?
Single tooth dental implant cost
The average cost across the US for a single tooth implant is $4,800. The lowest prices start at $3,500 and may go up to $6,700.
The costs of a dental implant include the money you’ll pay for the surgical placement of the implant body, abutment, and crown. The materials of those influence the price most greatly.
In our estimates, we have taken into account a porcelain crown on a custom-made abutment (rather than the cheaper, pre-fabricated option).
Full mouth dental implants cost
Multiple implants are an option for patients who are missing more than one tooth.
You should expect to pay about $10,000 for removable full-mouth dental implants and roughly $21,000 for fixed full-mouth dental implants.
Please note that these amounts concern the price for a single arch, top or bottom. If you are interested in replacing all of your teeth, double the values.
Disclaimer: The total cost of dental implants depends on numerous factors. These include the location, the experience of the person performing the procedures, and the materials used. The costs vary from state to state, from office to office, and even from dentist to dentist working in the same office. These prices show the average expenses involved without insurance or dental plans. We did our best to compile and take into account values from many sources, but the final decision as to which procedures must be performed and how much to charge for them is always ultimately made by the dentist. We give no guarantee that the prices you find here are the prices your dentist will quote.
