Dental implants won’t just give you a dazzling smile, they’ll also restore tooth function, prevent bone loss and degeneration, and stop any neighbouring, natural teeth from moving. So, let’s break down dental implant costs in straightforward terms and empower you to make informed choices about your oral health.
Single Dental Implant
A single dental implant is a long-term replacement solution for a missing tooth. Dental implants have become popular because they replace the entire structure of the tooth, from the root to the crown. They look, feel, and function exactly like your natural teeth.
Starting from $4,950 per single dental implant, the implant fixture, which acts like the natural tooth root, is surgically placed into your jawbone. This fixture is then connected to a small abutment piece to which a visible implant tooth is attached. Single implants are used to replace one or two individual missing teeth, whereas multiple tooth implants can be used with a dental bridge to replace three to four missing teeth in a row.

Full Arch Dental Implants
Full arch dental implants, starting from $25,000, are a great solution for individuals who have lost most, or all their teeth in one or both jaws. These implants are also a great restorative option for patients whose teeth are severely compromised and need to be replaced.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
The most frequently used implant restorative treatment to replace the complete top or bottom arch of teeth is All-on-4 dental implants. These implants provide patients with an alternative option to removable dentures. A full arch of teeth is supported by four dental implant fixtures which have been inserted into the jawbone.
If necessary, your dentist may propose All-on-6 implants to support your replacement teeth if you have a particularly strong bite or wide smile. Your dentist will assess your mouth and bone conditions and recommend the dental implant procedure which would be most suitable for your individual needs.

Factors That Affect Dental Implant Costs
How Many Implants Do You Need?
The total cost will depend on how many implants you require. Essentially, the more you need, the higher the overall cost.
Types of Dental Implant Materials
The overall cost of your dental implants will depend on the materials used to create each piece of the entire prosthesis. Single tooth implants consist of three components: a fixture or screw (the artificial root), an abutment (the connector), and the crown (the visible tooth).
All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implants consist of generally the same components, but on a larger scale: the fixtures (four or six), abutments, a bridge or arch of teeth (the visible teeth), and a bridge support bar. We’ve summarised the most commonly used materials below:
Material | Used For | Properties | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
Titanium |

Affordable |
Zirconium |

Procedures Before Surgery and Added Costs
Potential pre-surgical procedures, such as bone grafting and tooth extractions, can significantly impact the overall cost of the treatment. Bone grafting may be required to augment insufficient jawbone for implant support, while tooth extractions ensure a clean area for implant placement.
Bone Grafting
There are two main procedures for bone grafts with dental implants: sinus lifts and ridge augmentations. Sinus lifts are often necessary before placing single dental implants in the upper jaw, especially when you need to replace missing teeth years after losing them.
On the lower jaw, ridge augmentation is used to increase the width of the bone that supports the gums and teeth. Either of these procedures will affect the total cost of your dental implant treatment plan, and will typically add a few extra months to the overall time frame.
Surgeon’s Fees: What Influences the Cost?
Your surgeon’s fees can vary depending on their level of experience and the complexity of your procedure. Surgeons with extensive experience and a proven track record in dental implant surgeries will command higher fees due to their expertise and high-quality services.
At Ageless Smiles Dental Centre, your implant dentist will always discuss these aspects with you so you have a clear understanding of the fees involved. This ensures transparency regarding the costs associated with the specific details of your dental implant treatment.
