The cost of dental implants varies among patients and depends on different factors, such as how many appointments and procedures are needed to complete the process. Patients should keep in mind that although other tooth-replacement options may have lower costs up-front, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them the most cost-effective choice in the long-run.

With that said, dental implant cost for a single tooth can be broken down in the following ways:

• Implant placement: $2,000 to $2,5000
• Bone graft if needed: $800 to $1,500
• Crown: $1,500 to $2,500

In total, the cost of a single dental implant can range from $4,300 to $6,500.

According to the New York Times, implants for the full mouth or partial mouth typically cost from $20,000 to as much as $45,000. A specialist will calculate costs based on the time they spent to complete the procedure and materials used.

Patients with dental insurance might have some coverage for the procedure. However, dental plans typically have a maximum annual limit. Most plans only cover basic dental care and do not cover dental implants. Medical insurance may cover parts of the procedure, depending on the individual and their plan.
