Implants save long-term.

The cost of dental implants varies for each person as no two mouths are ever the same. You’ll find information about what is included in our dental implant solutions and general pricing on this page. We’ve also shared information about dental financing options. However, the best way to get an accurate idea of your dental implants cost is to come in for a consultation.

About Dental Implant Costs

When reviewing and comparing costs, it’s essential to consider that dental implants are “medical devices” that require a larger team of dental professionals. In addition, the placement of dental implants is both art and science. In fact, you are buying a service rather than a product – a service that can change your life and give you permanent teeth that will last a lifetime.

First, here are the most commonly accepted figures: The total dental implant costs for a single dental implant to be placed and restored range on average from $3,000 to $6,000 per restored implant. The typical price is usually around $4,500. To replace all your top or bottom teeth with full-arch fixed implant bridges – often referred to as All-on-4 – can cost from $15,000 to $30,000 (or more) per arch.

Can you find a dentist who can provide dental implants for less? Absolutely. You can always find someone cheaper, just like you can always find someone less skilled and with less experience.

What’s Included in Dental Implant Costs

At Texas Dental Implant Center, we provide several sedation options tailored to meet your needs:

Initial Consultation

The first time you meet with Dr. Azer is critical. Much of the planning for the rest of the treatment will be done during the first consultation. The dentist will assess the health of the teeth and jaw bone. You will also need diagnostic imaging during this visit. Physicians have relied on computerized axial tomography scans (CAT) for years. Today, many dentists rely on 3D imaging scans to provide a detailed view of the mouth and skull. 3D scans are quick and straightforward to perform. A Cone Beam Imaging System is at the heart of the 3D scanner. The cone beam is used to take hundreds of pictures of the face. These pictures are used to compile an exact 3D image of the face and jaw’s inner mechanisms.

Dental Implants Are More Cost-Effective in the Long Run

While more expensive than dentures, dental implants are the more cost-effective option for dental restoration, and provide a more natural, secure, longer-lasting solution. Other options, such as a tooth-supported bridge, have a limited lifespan and must be replaced. The American Dental Association reports that the average bridge must be replaced every 10.1 years. However, clinical studies have shown that implant-supported crowns (like we're discussing here) are effective at 20+ years in 95% of cases. This study shows a 98.8% 10-year survival rate of dental implants, which means the implants will almost certainly outlast bridges. Other studies have shown the effectiveness of dental implants in the shorter term. This Swedish study showed a 98.2% survival rate of the implant (Not for patients; there were no fatalities reported in the study!) over 32 months with the immediately loaded implants. Implants may be more expensive up-front, but over time their superior value and lifespan mean you'll be saving money in the long run.
