Factors Impacting Implant Costs
The factors that determine dental implant pricing are unique to each patient and their treatment plan, making it difficult to discuss average costs. A single implant at our Staten Island, NY, dental office can range anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 per tooth. Some elements that determine implant dentistry costs are:
Implant Location
Implants that restore teeth in the front of the mouth are more difficult to place, and ensuring that the restorations they support blend in with natural teeth is challenging. This increases their cost.
Number of Implants
More implants mean a higher cost. A traditional implant-supported denture requires several implants and will be more expensive, but a dental bridge supported by just a few dental implants will cost less.
Bone Grafting
When teeth are lost, the jawbone is no longer stimulated by those tooth roots and will begin to atrophy. Implants require sufficient bone density to be successful. Patients with a weak jawbone may need a bone graft before receiving dental implants.
Sedation
While local anesthetic is enough for many patients, some patients need sedation to ensure they are relaxed during oral surgery or other dental care. Sedation dentistry can cost between $4,000 and $5,000.
Dental Extractions
For some patients, teeth that cannot be saved need to be extracted before implants are placed. The dental extraction procedure will add to the total cost of implants and varies depending on whether one tooth or several teeth require extraction.
Materials
The implants, restoration (such as a crown, bridge, or denture), and connector pieces between the two (called abutments) can all be made from a variety of materials depending on your needs and goals. This creates a wide price range, even for a single implant.

View on GoogleDoes Dental Insurance Cover Implants?
Most insurance plans will contribute to the cost of certain stages of treatment.
While many basic insurance plans will not contribute to the cost of your dental implants or abutments, some plans do provide some coverage. However, most plans will contribute to other treatments related to dental implants. For example, your crown, bridge, or denture most likely qualifies for at least partial coverage. Preparatory dental care like fillings or periodontal treatments are typically covered, and bone grafting may also qualify.
We will work directly with your provider to help secure maximum coverage.
Our Staten Island practice accepts most insurance plans. If we work with your provider, you can count on us to make a thorough, evidence-based case for maximum coverage of all eligible treatments. Our dentists believe you deserve to get the most out of your dental insurance coverage, and we are glad to help bring any out-of-pocket expenses related to your dental implant treatment to an absolute minimum.
Are Implants Really Worth It?
Our dentists recommend implants because they are the most comprehensive form of dental restoration, and patients love them because they are the next best thing to natural teeth. Implant-supported restorations appear lifelike and have unmatched stability, unlike traditional dentures, which are unstable and need frequent adjustment. The implants themselves can last a lifetime, and provide jawbone stimulation that keeps your jaw strong and healthy — something no other treatment provides.
It's also important to consider dental implants compared to the option of keeping bad teeth, which will require spending time and money on "band-aid after band-aid," so to speak. The cost of investing in a potentially lifelong solution can actually be more affordable over time.
