Dental Implants Cost

The cost of replacing a single tooth with a dental implant can cost $3,000 to $4,500. Replacing all the teeth can cost $20,000 to $45,000. Many factors influence the cost of dental implants at our Kansas City, MO, practice, depending on your needs and goals. John P. Goodman, DDS, is here to explain dental implant costs and cover financing options so you can invest in your best smile.

Average Dental Implants Cost

The average cost of replacing a single tooth with a dental implant-supported crown is $3,000 to $4,500. Replacing all your teeth with implant-supported dentures carries an average cost of $20,000 to $45,000.

Dental Implant Cost Factors

Number of Implants

We offer several options for tooth replacement at our Kansas City dental office. An implant-supported crown can replace a single tooth, an implant-supported bridge or partial denture can replace several consecutive missing teeth, and a full implant-supported denture can replace all the teeth along the upper or lower dental arch. Replacing more teeth requires a greater number of implant posts and abutments (attachment pieces), as well as more implant-supported restorations. Additional implants, abutments, and restorations will increase the cost of your treatment.

Type of Materials

Dental implants and restorations can be made from a number of materials, but not all of them are equal in quality. We use only the finest materials to ensure you achieve the best results from treatment. Your implants and abutments will be made of high-grade titanium, designed for maximum stability and long-term use. Your implant-supported restorations can be made of porcelain or zirconia. These tooth-colored materials mimic the translucency and shine of enamel, so your restorations will be indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

Sedation Services

Our dentist partners with trusted oral surgeons in the Kansas City area for implant placement surgery. Any discomfort during this procedure can usually be managed with a local anesthetic, but some patients need additional help feeling comfortable during treatment. If you have dental phobia, especially sensitive teeth and gums, or difficulty sitting for long periods, you can receive nitrous sedation to achieve a deep state of relaxation during treatment. Sedation will add to your total costs, but is worth the expense in certain cases.

Preparatory Care

You might need some preparatory work to become eligible for dental implants. Common procedures include additional tooth extraction, gum treatment, and sinus lifts and bone grafts to address any bone recession in the jaw. Your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, jaw, and gums to determine whether these treatments can benefit you. Preparatory procedures will add to your costs, but in many cases, they are absolutely necessary for a successful procedure.

Are Implants Covered By Dental Insurance?

The answer is a bit more complex for dental implants than for other restorative treatments. While your implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture will likely receive coverage, titanium implant posts and abutments are not covered by basic dental insurance. After your implant consultation at our Kansas City office, we can get in touch with your dental insurance provider for details on what your plan covers. We do accept most types of dental insurance and our care coordinator will work with your provider to help you get the most from your benefits.

We Offer Financing To Help You Afford Out-of-Pocket Costs

We believe that the life-changing benefits of dental implants should be accessible to all patients who need a solution for tooth loss. This is why we work with CareCredit®, a third-party lender that offers low-interest and interest-free loans for dental treatment. CareCredit allows you to split the cost of any out-of-pocket expenses into manageable monthly installments.

Our dedicated financing team is ready to help you navigate your payment options. To learn more about how we can help make your dental implants affordable, complete our consultation request form or call our Kansas City, MO, office:

"I can't say enough good things about John Goodman and his staff." Two Happy Patients Share Their Experiences at Our Practice

I can't say enough good things about John Goodman and his staff. They were all extremely kind and courteous and made my experience very smooth. To top it off, I left my wallet behind after I left and it had fallen behind a chair. I managed to get a hold of Dr. Goodman and he took the time on his day off to go to his office, find my wallet, and wait for me while I came to get it from him! #notallheroeswherecapes

Moved here from Chicago and very happy Dr. Goodman was the first dentist I saw here in KC. The staff was super friendly, communicated well, and didn’t try to upsell or do any unnecessary work. I really felt like the center of care

A Closer Look At Your Dental Implant Options

Implant-Supported Crowns

If you have one tooth that needs to be replaced, an implant-supported crown can seamlessly fill the gap in your smile and make eating and speaking more comfortable.

Implant-Supported Bridges and Partial Dentures

One to three consecutive missing teeth can be replaced with an implant-supported bridge. A greater number of missing teeth can be replaced with a partial denture that blends in with surrounding teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

You can replace all the teeth along your upper or lower jaw with an implant-supported denture, transforming the appearance and function of your smile.

Prevent Further Tooth Loss

Your tooth roots provide stimulation every time you bite down, signaling to the body to retain bone tissue in the jaw. Without the tooth roots, the jaw deteriorates. If left untreated long enough, the weakened jaw cannot support the existing teeth, which may lead to further tooth loss and the need for more dental work. Other consequences can include wrinkling around your mouth and changes to your facial shape. Dental implants are the only treatment for tooth loss that can stimulate your jawbone and prevent these consequences of tooth loss.

A More Durable Solution

If you've been using a traditional bridge or denture to manage tooth loss, dental implants can significantly enhance your quality of life. Because the implant posts are firmly anchored in the jawbone, the restorations they support are incredibly stable and will not shift or slip when eating and speaking, which traditional solutions frequently do. Implant-supported replacement teeth stay in place at all times. They can be maintained with regular brushing and flossing, just like you would with natural teeth.
