Breaking Down the Cost of Dental Implants

By Dr. Rob McVety · August 2, 2024

Implant costs vary based on the number of implants, restoration type, and any preparatory procedures. Here's what shapes your total investment.

The cost of dental implants depends on several key variables. During your consultation, Dr. McVety provides a comprehensive treatment plan with transparent pricing.

What Affects the Cost

- Number of implants — single tooth, implant bridge, or full-arch implant denture - Restoration type — crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture - Preparatory procedures — bone grafting, sinus lifts, or periodontal therapy if needed - Anesthesia or sedation — optional but available

Types of Implant Restorations

- Single implant — titanium post + abutment + custom crown; most cost-effective per tooth - Implant bridge — two implants anchor a bridge spanning multiple missing teeth - Implant denture — four to six implants support a full arch; higher upfront cost, lower long-term maintenance than traditional dentures

Insurance and Financing

Many PPO dental insurance plans cover portions of the treatment — including consultations, pre-implant work, and restorations. We also offer CareCredit financing with low- to no-interest monthly payment plans.

Long-Term Value

Unlike bridges or dentures, implants are designed to last decades. The durability and bone-preservation benefits make them cost-effective over a 10–20 year horizon compared to alternatives that require replacement.
