How much are dental implants?
A single dental implant with the post, abutment, and crown typically costs $3,000 to $6,000 in 2026. Full-mouth restorations run far higher, commonly $18,000 to $35,000+ per arch, or $36,000 to $100,000+ for both arches.
Cost breakdown
| Option | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant (complete) | $3,000 - $6,000 | Includes implant post, abutment, and crown; some practices charge more |
| Implant post only | $1,500 - $2,500 | Before the abutment and crown are added |
| Bone graft (if needed) | $300 - $3,000 | Common prep procedure when jawbone needs reinforcement |
| All-on-4 / All-on-6 (per arch) | $18,000 - $35,000+ | Full arch of teeth supported by 4 to 6 implants |
| Full mouth (both arches) | $36,000 - $100,000+ | Replacing upper and lower arches together |
Single implant cost
A single dental implant that includes all three parts, the titanium post, the abutment connector, and the visible crown, typically costs $3,000 to $6,000 in 2026, with some practices quoting $5,000 to $7,500 depending on materials and location. If priced separately, the implant post alone often runs $1,500 to $2,500 before the abutment and crown are added.
Preparatory work can add to the bill. A bone graft, which is common when the jaw lacks enough bone to anchor the implant, ranges from a few hundred dollars to around $3,000, and a tooth extraction or sinus lift may be needed first. These add-ons are a major reason quotes for the same tooth can vary widely.
Full-mouth implant cost
Replacing many or all teeth costs substantially more. All-on-4 and All-on-6 protocols, which support a full arch of fixed teeth on four to six implants, typically run $18,000 to $35,000 or more per arch. Replacing both the upper and lower arches commonly totals $36,000 to $100,000 or more.
Full-arch solutions have a lower cost per tooth than placing individual implants because several teeth share the same support structure. The wide range reflects the choice between acrylic or PMMA hybrids and premium zirconia restorations, which cost more but resist staining and wear longer.
What drives the price
Geography is a big factor: practices in major metros often charge 20 to 50 percent more than suburban or rural offices. The dentist's or surgeon's experience, the brand and material of the implant components, and the complexity of your case all move the price.
Additional procedures such as extractions, bone grafts, and sinus lifts, along with sedation type and the number of teeth being replaced, round out the total. Dental insurance often covers little or none of implant surgery, so many patients use financing or dental savings plans to manage the cost.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is one dental implant?
- A complete single implant with post, abutment, and crown typically costs $3,000 to $6,000 in 2026, before any bone graft or extraction.
- How much do full-mouth implants cost?
- All-on-4 or All-on-6 runs about $18,000 to $35,000+ per arch, and replacing both arches commonly totals $36,000 to $100,000 or more.
- Does insurance cover dental implants?
- Coverage is often limited or excluded, since many plans treat implants as elective. Some plans cover part of the crown or extraction; financing is common.
