Common questions
What should I ask the practice before agreeing?
Is the graft definitely needed, and is the materials cost inside this quote?
Is this the price I will pay without insurance?
No. The $254 to $417 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 implant itself, and sometimes the membrane and materials.
How do dental plans usually treat this?
Frequently denied as part of an excluded implant treatment.
How many practices is this based on?
This national figure comes from 21,933 separate dental practices. Each practice contributes one observation, which is the median of every rate it holds for this treatment.
