Single Tooth Implant Cost Calculator
One missing tooth, priced properly: implant brand tier, crown material, extraction, grafting and sedation — every line item that changes what you'll actually pay.
How much does a single tooth implant really cost in 2026?
A single tooth implant replaces both the root and the crown of one missing tooth, without touching the teeth next to it. The final bill breaks down into distinct pieces — the titanium post itself, the abutment connector, the crown, and any preparatory work like extraction or grafting — which is exactly what this calculator itemizes.
Single implant cost by country
| Country | Single implant (post + abutment + crown) |
|---|---|
| United States | $3,000 – $6,000 |
| United Kingdom | £2,000 – £3,000 |
| Canada | CA$3,000 – CA$5,500 |
| Australia | A$3,000 – A$5,500 |
| Turkey | €300 – €900 |
| Mexico | $600 – $1,200 |
What makes up the price of one implant
- Implant post & brand tier. Premium systems like Straumann or Nobel Biocare typically add $400–$900 over a standard titanium post.
- Abutment. The connector piece between the implant post and the crown — usually a smaller line item, but still separately billed.
- Crown material. Zirconia crowns cost more than porcelain-fused crowns but resist staining and wear better long-term.
- Extraction, if needed. Removing the failing tooth before placement is billed separately, usually $150–$450 in the US.
- Bone grafting, if needed. Only required when a scan shows insufficient bone volume — adds roughly $500–$1,500 in the US.
- 3D CT imaging and sedation. Surgical planning and sedation type are commonly priced as separate line items.
The single implant procedure: what to expect
Treatment begins with a 3D CT scan to confirm bone volume and plan the implant position. If the tooth hasn't already been removed, extraction happens first, sometimes in the same visit as implant placement. The implant post is then placed under local anesthesia or sedation, followed by a healing period of three to six months while the bone fuses to the implant (osseointegration). Once healing is confirmed, the abutment and final crown are attached and adjusted for bite.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a single tooth implant cost?
A single dental implant, including the post, abutment and crown, typically costs $3,000-$6,000 in the United States, £2,000-£3,000 in the UK, CA$3,000-CA$5,500 in Canada, A$3,000-A$5,500 in Australia, €300-€900 in Turkey, and $600-$1,200 in Mexico.
Why is a single implant more expensive than a bridge in some places?
A single implant involves a surgical procedure, specialized hardware, a healing period, and often imaging, all of which add cost compared to a bridge that simply crowns two existing teeth. It typically lasts longer without affecting neighboring teeth.
How long does it take to get a single tooth implant?
From initial consultation to the final crown, the process typically takes three to six months, most of which is healing time for the implant to fuse with the jawbone before the permanent crown can be attached.
