How much does a single dental implant cost?

The national average for the implant body alone is $2,143, with a typical range of $1,646 to $4,157, according to the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study conducted by ASQ360° Market Research. That figure does not include the crown. A porcelain crown averages $1,399, so an all-in single tooth is commonly around $3,500 before extraction, grafting or imaging.

Why do other calculators show higher numbers?

Usually because they bundle the crown into the implant figure without saying so, and because most of them do not disclose a source at all. A quoted range of $3,000 to $6,000 is not wrong, it is just measuring a different thing. This calculator prices the implant body and the crown as separate lines so you can see which is which.

Where do these figures come from?

The 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study for Cosmetic, Dental, Veterinary, Vision and Other Practices Across the United States, conducted by ASQ360° Market Research and published by CareCredit in March 2025. Research was carried out across all 50 states and DC during 2023 and 2024. CareCredit is a healthcare lender, which we disclose so you can weigh the source.

Does dental insurance cover implants?

Many plans classify implants as elective and exclude the surgical placement while still covering the crown. Where there is coverage, the annual maximum matters more than the percentage: a plan paying 50 percent against a $1,500 annual maximum pays $1,500 on a $9,000 treatment plan, not $4,500. This calculator models that cap, which most do not.

Is this an accurate quote for my treatment?

No, and no calculator can be. These are averages of billed charges, not a quote and not a negotiated insurance rate. Real pricing requires a CT scan and an examination, because bone volume and the condition of the surrounding teeth change the plan. Use this to know whether a quote you receive is in a normal range.

Dental Implant Cost Calculator

Free, and it will not ask for your email. Most implant calculators will not tell you where their numbers come from; this one will, on the same screen as the estimate. Every figure is traceable to a named, dated study, and the arithmetic is printed underneath the result.

Just use it. It is free, there is no email wall, and every dollar figure traces to a named 2024 study. Here is the study, and how we used it. Most calculators will not tell you where their numbers came from. This one does, on screen, including the parts we had to infer.

Where these numbers come from

Every figure in this calculator comes from one study: the 2024 Synchrony Average Procedural Cost Study, conducted by ASQ360° Market Research across all 50 states and the District of Columbia during 2023 and 2024, and published by CareCredit in March 2025. CareCredit is a healthcare lender. We are telling you that so you can weigh the source, which is more than any other calculator on this results page does.

A note on the ADA. Several implant calculators claim their pricing comes from current American Dental Association fee data. It does not exist. The ADA “elected to discontinue the Survey of Dental Fees in 2023” and states it “cannot quote fees for dental procedures and is forbidden by federal law to set or recommend fees.” If a tool tells you its numbers are current ADA figures, it is describing a dataset that was withdrawn three years ago.

The crown is not included in the implant price

This is the single most misread number in dental pricing. The national average for a single implant body is $2,143. That is the post placed in the jaw. The crown that goes on top averages $1,399 in porcelain and is billed separately. Add them and a straightforward single tooth lands near $3,500 before extraction, grafting or imaging, which is why you see ranges of “$3,000 to $6,000” quoted elsewhere without explanation. Both numbers are right. They are measuring different things.

Component	National average
Single implant body	$2,143
Porcelain crown	$1,399
3D cone-beam CT	$466
Simple extraction	$177
Socket graft	$558
Sinus lift	$2,022
All-on-4, per arch	$15,176
All-on-6, per arch	$29,980

How insurance actually works here

Most calculators apply a flat coverage percentage and stop. That overstates what you will get back, often badly. The binding constraint is usually the annual maximum, not the percentage: a plan paying 50% against a $1,500 annual cap pays $1,500 toward a $9,000 treatment plan, not $4,500. This calculator applies the percentage and then caps it, and shows you which one bound. Many plans also classify implants as elective and exclude the surgical placement entirely while still covering the crown, so check your own plan documents.

What this calculator will not do

It will not pretend to more precision than the data supports. The source resolves to state level, so a practice in downtown Minneapolis and one in rural Minnesota return the same regional figure. That difference is real, and we could invent a metro multiplier to look more sophisticated, but we would be making it up, which is the exact problem with the rest of this category. It also will not ask for your email before showing you a number.

Two things we infer, so you can discount them. First, the state multiplier is derived from the study's single-implant averages and then applied proportionally to full-arch procedures. The study does not publish All-on-4 by state, so treating regional variation as proportional is our inference rather than a measured figure. Second, the −15% / +25% band around the result is an editorial judgement about how far real quotes spread around an average, not a confidence interval from the data. Both are visible in the “how this was calculated” panel so you can see exactly where they enter.

Known discrepancy, disclosed: CareCredit publishes the single-implant upper bound as $4,175 in its page metadata and $4,157 in the body text. We use $4,157. Insurance percentages and annual maximums are common industry structures used for illustration and are not part of the cost study.
