How much does a dental implant cost?
Implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. The total includes the implant fixture, abutment and crown — and sometimes a bone graft.
| Item | Typical price range |
|---|---|
Single implant + crown | $3,000 – $6,500 |
Bone graft (if needed) | $500 – $2,000 |
Implant + bridge (2 teeth) | $6,000 – $11,000 |
Full-arch implant denture (per arch) | $12,000 – $30,000 |
What affects the price
- Implant brand (premium systems cost more)
- Bone quality and grafting needs
- Surgeon experience
- CBCT 3D imaging and planning fees
Medicare & health funds
Medicare does not cover implants. Extras cover usually contributes a limited amount (often $1,000–$2,000 total) after a 12-month waiting period. Payment plans are common.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the whole process take?
Typically 3–6 months: implant placement, 2–3 months of osseointegration (bone healing), then the crown.
Are implants worth the cost?
Implants last 20+ years with care — much longer than bridges or dentures — and protect the jawbone from shrinkage.
