So what is the average cost?

According to DentalImplantCostGuide.com, the average completed dental implant in the US, costs about $4250 for both the abutment and jaw implant. But the cost of an implant can range anywhere from $3000 to $6000 depending your dentist.

When looking at the various things that make up the final price and breaking it down into its various parts, you’ll find that:

• The initial surgery for placing the implant screw into the jaw will cost between $1650 and $3000.

• The abutment used for mounting the crown costs between $300 to $500

• The crown (which is the part of the implant that looks like a tooth) could end up costing anywhere between $1000 to $3000.

Using the above mentioned numbers, the lowest cost adds up to $2950 for a single implant while the highest cost would be $6500. While there’s a pretty big gap between the highest and the lowest price, those are all considered normal. Patients living in large metropolitan areas, can expect to pay a mid-range to high price ($4000 to $6500), while patients in small cities and towns will pay low to mid-range prices ($2900-$4500 per implant).

Listed below, are some additional procedures that might be required:

• X-rays

• CT Scan

• Tooth extraction

• Bone graft

• Surgical guides

• Barrier membranes

All of these, when required, will add to the final cost of dental implants. It’s hard to say by how much, but as an indicator, consider that a simple tooth extraction will add about $100 to $200 to the price of the procedure, while surgical tooth extractions can cost anywhere between $180 to $400.
