Dental implants are done to replace missing teeth. They require several visits to the dentist over a period of 5 to 9 months. Dental implants are a significant investment, but one that can improve your quality of life. Follow these steps to price dental implants.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Consult a dentist who is trained in dental implants. Get an oral health exam to make sure you're a suitable candidate for the procedure.

  2. Step 2

    Call various dentists and ask what their dental implants run. You may find that most charge about the same amount. If they are across the board, meet with several of the dentists to get a feel for their practice.

  3. Step 3

    Understand that there are several factors that determine how much dental implants will cost. The dentist performing the surgery, the type of dental implants, the material used and the dental insurance coverage you have will all play a role.

  4. Step 4

    Know that single implants can run you between $1,000 and $5,000. If you need a full-mouth reconstructive dental implant, it can cost $24,000 to $100,000.

  5. Step 5

    Call your dental insurance company to see how much of the dental implant procedure will be covered. This will give you an idea of how the out-of-pocket expense will be.
