Dental Implants

An implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone that acts as an artificial tooth root, topped with a crown after healing. It's the closest thing dentistry has to regrowing a tooth — and the most quoted-around procedure in dentistry, so compare carefully.

The timeline

Typical sequence: consult with 3D imaging → placement (sometimes with bone grafting) → 3–6 months of healing while bone fuses to the post → abutment and crown. Some cases qualify for same-day temporary teeth; the permanent tooth still waits for healing.

Who places them

Oral surgeons and periodontists place the majority of implants; many general dentists and prosthodontists also place or restore them. For full-arch (All-on-4-style) work, ask specifically how many arches the surgeon restores per year and insist on an itemized quote — surgery, parts, and final teeth are often priced separately.

What it costs

Implant post (surgical placement)
$1,000 – $3,000
Abutment (connector)
$400 – $1,000
Crown (the visible tooth)
$800 – $3,000
Single tooth, all-in
$3,000 – $6,000
Implant-supported bridge (3+ teeth)
$8,000 – $11,000
Snap-in overdenture (per arch)
$8,000 – $16,000
All-on-4-style fixed arch (per arch)
$14,000 – $36,000
Extras: extraction / bone graft
$150 – $450 / case-specific

A single implant with abutment and crown is commonly quoted at $3,000–$6,000 nationally all-in. Ranges vary widely by market — treat any far-outlier quote, high or low, as a question to ask, and insist on an itemized quote (surgery, parts, and final teeth are often priced separately). Watch the insurance annual-maximum trap: a $1,000–$2,000 yearly cap runs out fast against these numbers. Prices vary by market and case — always ask for a written, itemized quote.
