Live implant pricing — what patients actually pay
National median $2,200 · range $1,500–$3,500 · updated with real patient quotes.
Implant pricing is confusing because quotes often hide 2–3 separate procedures. A "$1,999 implant" usually means just the post — not the abutment, crown, bone graft, or sedation. Here's the honest, complete breakdown.
Single Implant: The Real Total Cost
| Procedure / Option | Low | High | Avg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implant post (titanium screw) | $1,500 | $3,000 | $2,200 |
| Abutment (connector piece) | $300 | $700 | $500 |
| Crown on top | $1,000 | $2,500 | $1,500 |
| Bone graft (if needed) | $300 | $3,000 | $1,100 |
| CBCT 3D scan | $150 | $500 | $300 |
| — TOTAL single implant (no graft) | $3,000 | $5,500 | $4,000 |
| — TOTAL single implant (with graft) | $3,500 | $8,000 | $5,200 |

Why You Should Be Skeptical of "$399 Implants"
Ultra-low ads are nearly always the post alone. You'll typically pay $2,500–$4,500 by the time abutment, crown, and add-ons are included — about the same as a transparent local office. Always ask for an itemized treatment plan in writing.
