Guide on Dental Implant Prices

There is no such thing as an exact price per dental implant treatment in the US, because the costs vary greatly from one state to the other.

Typically, dental implant costs vary depending on:

• the location of the dentistry practice
• the experience/reputation of the dentist
• the extra treatments required such as bone grafting or gingivoplasty

There is no such thing as an exact price per dental implant treatment in the US, because the costs vary greatly from one state to the other.

In Texas for instance, the prices vary between $1,800 and $2,500. In smaller cities or towns, the dental implant costs are more reasonable, than in bigger cities such as Houston or Dallas where the cost for a single implant can reach even $5,000.

The average cost of an implant without the crown that is added later costs between $1,500 and $2,500. In case of a complete upper or lower jaw implant procedure, the cost ranges between $15,000 and $30,000.

These prices of course include all the other extra treatments required such as bone regeneration, wide/narrow diameter implant procedures, or posterior mandible treatment. It is essential to keep in mind that a dental implant for important teeth, such as the front teeth is always much more expensive than an implant required for posterior teeth, which are not even visible.

Regarding the price for a dental implant in the United Kingdom, this is approximately £2,000. Again, it is important to remember that in order for an implant to be fitted, the patient needs to take several trips to the dentist.

First, the dentist will fit the metal screw into the jaw, and the implant cannot be fitted until the gums heal completely (which can take several months).

The National Health Scheme in the UK helps patients getting implants on much more advantageous prices, but the patients need to fulfill certain criteria before being accepted into the program and there is a long waiting list.

Then, a dental crown on the National Health Scheme costs around £200, while for the exact same procedure patients are required to pay around £400 with a private dentist.

Summing it up, it is no wonder a huge percentage of the patients choose the dental tourism destinations around the world, where they can get the same high quality treatments for only a fraction of the price.

In India for example, a dental implant procedure costs about INR 20,000, which is roughly $350 or 230GBP. With the amount of money you pay for a dental implant in the US, you will get yourself 3 or 4 implants in India or other destinations around the world.
