Factors affecting cost of an implant tooth
Several factors can affect the tooth implant cost for one tooth, and your care team will guide you through them so you know what to expect.
Jawbone condition & the need for grafting
Your jawbone needs enough strength and volume to support an implant. If you need bone grafting or a sinus lift to build support, these steps can add to the total cost and treatment timeline.
Materials used for the implant and crown
Most patients receive a titanium implant and a porcelain crown. Using materials like zirconia or advanced ceramics may increase the cost based on durability or appearance preferences. Your care team can help you compare your options.
Location of the tooth
Implants for front teeth may cost more because they often need extra shaping and color matching to blend naturally with surrounding teeth.
Dentist or specialist expertise
Some members of your care team may have advanced training in implant procedures. Their involvement in your treatment can influence the cost, and your team will walk you through who is providing your care and why.
Additional procedures that may be required
Your treatment plan may include services like periodontal care, tooth extractions, sedation or a temporary crown. These steps help support implant success and can affect the overall cost of care.

Is the cost of a single tooth implant worth it?
For many patients, the cost of a single tooth implant is worth it because implants offer long-lasting support, a natural look and important benefits for your oral health. Here are a few reasons people choose them:
Long-term durability | With proper care, dental implant posts are made to last a lifetime⁴ and offer steady, long-lasting support. Many patients see implants as a strong long-term value. |
Prevents bone loss | Implants are the only tooth replacement option that helps stimulate the jawbone by acting as an artificial tooth root. This support can help reduce bone loss and maintain your facial structure over time. |
Protects surrounding teeth | Implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. This means nearby teeth can stay strong and unchanged. |
Natural look and feel | Your custom crown is designed to match your surrounding teeth in color, shape and size, helping your smile look and feel natural. |
Superior comfort and stability | Implants are built to help you eat, speak and bite with confidence, without shifting or movement. |
Lower lifetime maintenance costs | Although the upfront cost may be higher than other options, implants often require less maintenance and fewer replacements over time, which can help support your budget in the long run. |
Boosts confidence and quality of life | Implants help restore everyday comfort and steady chewing power, which can support your confidence and quality of life. |
⁴Dental implants are made to last a lifetime. Studies show that dental implants are likely to last at least 25 years with proper care and maintenance in most cases.
