How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in 2024?

A Breakdown of Dental Implant Costs

One of the most common questions we get from patients is how much do dental implants cost? At Dental Depot, we understand that managing your finances can be challenging, but dental implants may be more affordable than you think. We believe it’s important to view the cost of dental implants as an investment in your long-term oral health, rather than just an expense.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

Every dental implant case is unique, and costs can vary based on the patient’s specific needs. Typically, a single dental implant costs between $1,500 and $2,000 per implant—not per procedure. Some patients may only need one implant, while others could require several if they are missing multiple teeth. 

There are additional costs that contribute to the overall cost of dental implants, such as:

  • The crown – This is the cap placed on top of the implant that looks like a natural tooth, which can be custom-made or stock.
  • The abutment – This piece connects the implant to the crown.
  • Tooth and root extractions – If necessary, removing damaged teeth or roots before the implant can add to the cost.
  • Office visits – Pre-op consultations, follow-up visits, and other necessary appointments.
  • Pre-op care – Pre surgery care expenses.
  • Post-op care – Follow up care to make sure the implant properly heals and is secure.

Additional costs usually range from $1,500 to $2,800. When combined with the implant itself, the total cost for a single dental implant can range from $3,000 to $4,800, according to WebMD.

Dental implants are a long-term solution and can reduce oral health costs in the long run. Dental implants can last the rest of your life and look and function like natural teeth. Schedule an appointment with your dentist for a personalized treatment plan and an accurate cost quote based on your individual needs.

Why Dental Implants Are an Investment

On the surface, dental implants look incredibly expensive, especially when they are compared to other tooth replacement methods. However, dentures and bridges, the two alternatives, typically have to be repaired or replaced every 5 to 10 years. The cost of this regular maintenance may quickly outstrip the costs of simply turning to implants, which can last a lifetime (so long as you care for them properly). They also prevent your jawbone from deteriorating—dentures and bridges can’t do that.

As your jaw deteriorates, your face shape will change. You’ll start to look older. Moreover, your existing teeth will start to grow loose. The jawbone provides the structure that holds your teeth’s roots in place. Once it’s gone, you’ll lose your other teeth as well. Keeping the rest of your teeth in your mouth is priceless.

We encourage you to think of dental implants as an investment, and not as an expense.

Dental Implant FAQs

How much do dental implants cost?

First, every case is unique. In general, however, single dental implants cost $1,500 to $2,000 per implant. Not per procedure—but per implant. Some patients are only going to need a single implant, whereas others will need several because they’re missing multiple teeth.

Note that this is only the cost of the dental implant itself. There are other costs involved including:

  • The crown (the tooth itself) – this can be custom or stock
  • The abutment (the part that connects the implant and the crown)
  • The cost of tooth and root extraction
  • The cost of the office visits.
  • Pre-op care
  • Post-op care

These additional costs can range from $1,500 – $2,800, bringing the total cost for a single dental implant in the range of $3,000 – $4,800.

What are Zygomatic implants?

If you need zygomatic implants you can expect the costs to be slightly higher. Zygomatic implants are a little longer than regular implants, and they require a lot more skill and training to place.

They are designed for patients with significant bone and gum loss. The good news is that because we can provide zygomatic implants you’re only paying for one surgery—not two. Zygomatic implants are great because they allow us to skip bone graft surgeries altogether.

Does dental insurance cover dental implants?

The good news is most dental insurance providers cover some of the costs for dental implants. Insurance doesn’t typically cover all the expenses so you’re probably still going to have to put some money aside before you can schedule your dental implant procedure, but certainly not as much as you would if you didn’t have insurance.

In addition, many of our patients take advantage of our ability to offer Care Credit financing, which gives them the ability to pay for their dental implants with a series of affordable monthly installments. We also offer patient financing through Lending Club.

How can I determine the exact costs of your dental implants?

As we mentioned earlier, the total costs of dental implants can vary greatly depending on each patient’s case. Some will need single implants while others may require full arches. Additionally, the physical characteristics of each patient’s mouth will factor into the work that will be required and ultimately the type and price of the implants.

The best way to find out what your implants will cost is to have an initial consultation with our doctors.

Our doctors will use the 3D scan image during the consultation to determine the density of the bone and to see whether you’re a candidate for an immediate implant or if some additional grafting will be needed prior to implant placement.

After your consultation, you’ll know exactly what will need to be done and what the total costs will be. You will also be presented with our patient financing options if you need them.

Don’t let price fears stop you from getting the implants you need!

Request an initial consultation with Dental Depot’s implant team, to find out exactly what you need done and what it will cost.  Our team of doctors and staff will work together to design a customized treatment plan for you and present all financing options to help you get the smile you deserve.
