Dental implant cost nationally

Prices cluster fairly tightly, from $1,333 to $1,710 across the middle half of the market, so shopping around saves less here than on larger treatments.

Observed dataObserved negotiated rates. Every figure here is a real negotiated amount taken from payer files published under the federal Transparency in Coverage rule. These are what a dental plan pays a contracted practice - not a cash price.

Estimated self-payEstimated self-pay range, not an observation. We do not have observed cash prices, and we will not present a modelled number as though we did. This range is the upper half of the same observed negotiated distribution, shown because an uninsured patient generally pays at or above the highest negotiated tier. Treat it as a budgeting aid and ask any practice for a written quote.

What it covers

The titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone. This is the foundation only - not a finished tooth.

What moves the price

Implant brand, the surgeon's training, imaging used for planning, and whether a specialist or generalist places it.

Normally included

The surgical placement of the post.

Usually billed separately

The abutment and the crown, which are separate codes. Also any bone graft, 3D imaging or sedation. The post alone is usually under half the finished cost.

How plans treat it

Many plans exclude implants entirely; those that cover them cap benefits well below the total.

Dental implant cost by state

Each bar is one state's observed distribution: the block is the middle half of the market, the vertical rule is the median, and the line reaching right runs out to the 90th percentile. The dashed line is the national median, so you can see at a glance which states sit above or below it.

Common questions

What should I ask the practice before agreeing?

Please itemise the post, the abutment and the crown separately so I can see the finished total.

Is this the price I will pay without insurance?

No. The $1,333 to $1,710 range above is what dental plans have negotiated with contracted practices. If you are uninsured you will generally be quoted at or above the top of that range. We show an estimated self-pay range, clearly marked as an estimate, because we do not observe cash prices — see the methodology.

What is not included in this price?

The abutment and the crown, which are separate codes. Also any bone graft, 3D imaging or sedation. The post alone is usually under half the finished cost.

How do dental plans usually treat this?

Many plans exclude implants entirely; those that cover them cap benefits well below the total.

How many practices is this based on?

This national figure comes from 24,583 separate dental practices. Each practice contributes one observation, which is the median of every rate it holds for this treatment.
