The cost of dental implants in the US can vary widely depending on several factors, but here's a breakdown to give you an idea:
Single Tooth Implant:
Low-cost: $1,500 to $2,500 (implant only)
Mid-range: $3,000 to $5,000 (implant, abutment, and crown)
High-quality: $4,500 to $6,000 (implant, abutment, and crown)
Full Mouth Implants:
Individual implants: Replacing each tooth individually is the most expensive option (average $60,000 to $90,000).
Implant-supported dentures: This uses fewer implants (4-6 per jaw) to support full arches of dentures and is less expensive (average $24,000 to $50,000).
Factors Affecting Cost:
Location: Costs can vary between geographical areas and dentist's fees.
Materials: Higher-quality materials like titanium and zirconia cost more than lower-quality alternatives.
Complexity of the procedure: If additional bone grafting or sinus lift procedures are needed, the cost will increase.
Dental insurance: Insurance can significantly reduce the out-of-pocket cost, depending on your plan.
Additional Considerations:
Maintenance: Dentures require regular cleaning and adjustments. Expect to pay $150 to $300 annually for maintenance.
Relines: Over time, your gums may shrink, requiring relines to ensure a proper fit. This can cost around $200 to $400 per reline.
