Cost Breakdown: Single Tooth Implant Without Insurance

Tooth loss can cause severe health complications. In fact, tooth loss begets more tooth loss as the remaining teeth become destabilized because of unbalanced chewing forces. Missing teeth affects your eating and speaking ability and results in jawbone loss and bite misalignment.

Fortunately, several options exist to replace lost teeth, including dentures and bridges. However, if you want a permanent solution to tooth loss, consider dental implants from Peninsula Dental Implant Center in Daly City, California. Once installed, dental implants provide a lifetime of a stable, functional, and beautiful smile.

How does a single implant replace a missing tooth?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed in your jawbone to replace one or more teeth. Since the implant (titanium) screw is biocompatible, it fuses with the jawbone to form one biological structure solid enough to secure a replacement tooth. After healing and fusion, we install a titanium custom abutment that connects the implant to a crown. The final piece of a dental implant is a beautiful crown that replicates your natural teeth.

A dental implant replaces your tooth from the root to the crown. This unique design enables your implant to provide a stable and functional restoration. Once an implant is in place, others cannot distinguish it from the rest of your teeth. You, too, will forget it’s a replacement because it feels and functions like your natural teeth!

How much do dental implants cost?

The average cost for dental implants ranges from $3,000 – $6,000 per tooth. The main reason why there is no standard price is because no two procedures are the same. Unlike a single service like teeth whitening or dental filling, dental implant fees are assessed based on the complexity of the procedure.

Dental implant treatment comprises several procedures:

• Initial consultation: $80-$300
• Dental X-ray: $100-$250
• Cone Beam CT (CBCT): $150-$700
• Dental extraction: $150-$700
• Bone grafting: $200-$2,200 (depends on the type of graft and complexity of the procedure)
• Implant post:$1,500-$3,000
• Abutment: $300-$600
• Dental crown: $900-$1,500

As you can see, several variables determine the cost of an implant, and the cost can quickly stack up depending on the individual case. We’ve some good news for patients without insurance. We offer free consultations, including a 3D CT scan. We also have a special offer of $2,500 per dental implant (without tooth extraction, grafting, and provisional crown).

Does insurance cover dental implants?
