Short answer: the implant post alone (code D6010) averages $3,075 in the US, with a typical range of $2,005 to $5,255. With the abutment and crown, one tooth usually costs $5,000 to $7,500. A full arch of fixed implant teeth averages $22,590 per arch. Implant-supported dentures run about $7,628 to $13,297 per arch.

Dental savings plans are not insurance. A plan gives you discounts only at participating dentists. It does not pay the dentist for you, and you pay for all services at the discounted rate. Prices, discounts and dentists vary by plan and ZIP code.

A financing company’s 2024 cost study shows lower averages for the post alone: about $2,143 for one implant and $15,176 for All-on-4. Those figures leave out the crown, extraction and office fees. For more detail on full arches, see our All-on-4 cost guide.

Single implant, full arch or implant dentures?

One missing tooth

A single implant replaces one tooth with a post, an abutment and a crown. It does not touch the teeth next to it. The usual alternative is a dental bridge, which averages $4,620 for three units.

All or most teeth in one jaw

A fixed full arch uses four or more implants to hold a bridge of teeth you do not take out. It is the most expensive option. Pearl puts most cases at $20,000 to $30,000 per arch.

Implant-supported (snap-on) dentures

These dentures clip onto a few implants, so they move less than regular dentures. You still take them out to clean. Aspen Dental lists $7,628 to $13,297 per arch, and ClearChoice lists $8,000 to $13,500. A regular full denture averages $2,085 per arch; see our dentures cost guide.

Add-ons that raise the price

Pearl notes that an “implant” quote usually covers only the surgery to place the post. These items are often billed on top:

Extra step	Typical US price	When you need it
Simple tooth extraction (D7140)	$170–$450, average $260	If the failing tooth is still in place
Bone graft (D7953)	$680–$1,790, average $1,045	If the jawbone is too thin, or to save the socket after an extraction
Sinus lift (D7951, D7952)	$1,470–$3,860, average $2,260	Upper back teeth when the sinus sits low
Implant crown (D6067)	$1,254–$2,140 usual fee in two sample areas	Always; usually billed apart from the post
Sedation (D9230, D9243)	$335–$880, average $515	If you choose to be sedated

Sources: Pearl (ADA fee survey data, May 2026); DentalPlans.com sample usual fees, ZIPs 77002 and 67570. Checked October 22, 2026.

3D scan: a cone-beam CT is often billed separately.
Who places it: oral surgeons and periodontists usually charge more than general dentists.
Where you live: state averages for the post range from $1,790 in Alabama to $3,565 in Hawaii in CareCredit’s study.
Materials: titanium is standard; zirconia is priced differently.

Time matters too. Pearl says treatment often runs 4 to 9 months from extraction to final crown. A bone graft can add 3 to 6 months. If a tooth must come out first, see our tooth extraction cost guide.

Does dental insurance cover implants?

Sometimes, and rarely in full. Most plans follow a 100/80/50 pattern: 100% for preventive care, 80% for basic work and 50% for major work. When implants are covered, they count as major work.

Yearly maximum: 32.8% of plans cap benefits at $1,000 to $1,500 a year, and 48.2% at $1,500 to $2,500.
Waiting period: most insurers make you wait 6 or 12 months before major work.
Exclusions: some plans exclude implants. Others cover the crown but not the post.

Original Medicare does not cover implants or dentures. Learn more in our guide to Medicare and dental care, or start with our dental insurance basics.

With a dental savings plan

A savings plan gives you set discounts at participating dentists. There is no yearly maximum and no waiting period once it is active. Here are sample implant fees published on DentalPlans.com:

Plan (yearly fee)	Implant post (D6010)	Implant crown (D6067)	Bone graft (D4263)
Aetna Dental Access ($154.95 + $20 fee)	$2,348 → $1,531	$2,140 → $957	$808 → $319
Aetna Vital Savings ($184.95 + $20 fee)	$2,200 → $1,412	$1,254 → $670	$593 → $244
Careington Care 500 ($184.95 + $20 fee)	20% off	20% off	Not listed

Worked example: one lower molar implant

Say a cracked lower molar must come out and the dentist adds a bone graft. These are the sample usual fees for ZIP 77002:

Simple extraction: $308
Bone graft: $808
Implant post: $2,348
Implant crown: $2,140
Total: $5,604, plus the abutment, which is quoted separately

With insurance that covers implants at 50% and has a $1,500 yearly maximum: half the bill is $2,802, but the plan stops at $1,500. You pay about $4,104, plus any deductible. You may also wait 6 to 12 months to start.

With Aetna Dental Access at the sample fees: $76 + $319 + $1,531 + $957 = $2,883. Add $174.95 for the plan and fee, and you pay $3,057.95. That is $2,546.05 less than the usual fees.

Your dentist’s fees will differ. Ask for a written quote with every code listed, then check it against a plan’s fee list for your ZIP code.

Ways to pay less

Get two or three itemized quotes. Make sure each lists the post, abutment, crown, scans and any graft.
Use a savings plan if you have no insurance or your plan excludes implants.
Try a dental school. Supervised students treat patients at reduced fees, though visits take longer.
Check community health centers. At many, the cost is based on your income.
Ask for the cash price and whether paying upfront lowers it.
Spread the cost. In-office payment plans, medical credit cards and personal loans are options. See our implant financing guide before you sign anything.
Ask about alternatives such as a bridge or a partial denture.

More low-cost options are in our guide to dental care without insurance.

When to see a dentist

See a dentist if you have a missing or loose tooth, pain, swelling or bleeding gums. Only a dentist can tell you if your bone and gums can hold an implant. If you already have an implant and it hurts or feels loose, call your dentist soon.

Frequently asked questions

Why are implant prices online so different?

Because they price different things. Some list only the post, some include the abutment and crown, and full-arch prices depend on how many implants are used.

How long does the whole process take?

Often 4 to 9 months. The bone needs 3 to 6 months to fuse with the post before the final crown goes on. A bone graft can add 3 to 6 months.

How long do implants last?

Pearl says a well-placed implant with good care often lasts 20 years or more. The crown on top often needs replacing before the post does.

Is an implant cheaper than a bridge?

Usually not upfront. A three-unit bridge averages $4,620, close to an implant with its crown. A bridge often lasts 10 to 15 years, though, while an implant often lasts longer.

Can I use my HSA or FSA for an implant?

The IRS counts dental treatment and artificial teeth as medical expenses. HSA and FSA money used for qualified medical expenses is not taxed. Check with your plan administrator first.

Is a very cheap implant offer a good idea?

Ask exactly what is included and who places the implant. A low price for the post alone can end up costing more once the crown and extra steps are added.
