What are you paying for?
An implant is three parts plus the work to place them, so a quote adds several items together. This is a published breakdown of typical US prices for one tooth.
Consultation and 3D imaging
Exam and a scan of your jawbone to plan the implant
$200-$500
Implant post
The post that goes in the bone and acts as the tooth's root
$1,000-$3,000
Placing the implant
The procedure to put the post in the jaw
$1,500-$3,000
Abutment
The small connector between the post and the new tooth
$300-$600
Crown
The tooth you see, made to match your other teeth
$1,000-$2,500
Everything added up
$4,000-$9,600

Not everyone needs every item, and some offices bundle them. But when you compare two quotes, check that both include all five.
How does that compare locally?
Few dental offices publish prices at all. Of the Phoenix-area practices that do, these are the published full-arch prices.

full arch of fixed teeth
Each practice's own published price, checked 22 September 2026. Not a survey, and not an average.
"From" prices are the lowest a case can cost. Most people pay more than the starting price once extractions, grafts and the type of teeth are added in.
What All-on-4 involvesWhat changes the price?
Two people can both need one implant and get very different quotes. These are the main reasons.
Taking out the old tooth
If a damaged tooth is still there, removing it adds to the cost.
Bone grafting
If there isn't enough bone to hold the post, a graft comes first. Upper back teeth sometimes need a sinus lift, a graft that raises the floor of the sinus.
How many implants
Each post costs money. A bridge on two implants can replace three or four teeth, which costs less than an implant for every tooth.
What the new teeth are made of
Full-arch teeth come in different materials, such as acrylic or zirconia. They differ in price, strength and how long they last.
Sedation
If you want to be sedated instead of just numbed, that's usually an added cost.
Temporary teeth
Some quotes include a temporary tooth or set while you heal. Others don't.
Who does the work
Training and experience vary a lot between dentists, and so do fees.
How do you pay for it?
Does insurance cover implants?
Sometimes, in part. Some dental plans pay part of an implant as major work. Others pay only for the crown on top, or pay what they would have paid for a bridge or denture. Most plans have a yearly maximum, and some have waiting periods for major work.
Ask your insurer for a pre-treatment estimate before you start. Call us with your plan and we'll help you work out what it covers.
Does Medicare cover implants?
Original Medicare doesn't. Medicare.gov says it doesn't cover dental services "like routine cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions (removals), or items like dentures and implants". Some Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits, so check yours.
IGO does not accept AHCCCS
AHCCCS is Arizona Medicaid, and we don't take it. If it's your only dental coverage, you'd need to pay for treatment here another way.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Often, yes. IRS Publication 502 counts treatment of dental disease, including extractions and dentures, as a medical expense you can pay from an HSA or FSA. It doesn't name implants, so check with your plan administrator before you pay. Cosmetic work that doesn't treat a dental problem, such as whitening, doesn't count.
An FSA has a yearly limit and usually must be used within the plan year, so if your treatment spans two years, you may be able to split the cost across both.
Read the terms on a healthcare credit card
Some cards offer "no interest" if you pay in full within a set time. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau warns that with these deferred-interest offers, if the balance isn't paid in full by the end of the promotional period, or you miss a payment, interest is charged on the full amount you originally charged, not just what's left. A loan with a fixed rate and a fixed monthly payment is easier to plan around.
At IGO we take credit and debit cards and tap-to-pay from your phone.
Payment optionsWhy are some implant prices so much lower?
When a price looks far below the numbers above, it usually covers only part of the treatment.
A worked example
One Arizona practice lists a single implant in two parts:
- advertisedThe implant itself
- $1,500-$2,000
- not advertisedThe parts that complete it
- $1,500-$2,800
A finished tooth
$3,000-$4,800
An ad that shows only the first number leaves out the rest of the cost of a finished tooth.
For full arches, a very low starting price may be for one arch only, for acrylic teeth instead of a stronger material, or for patients who need no extractions or grafts. That's why the itemised breakdown above matters more than the headline number.
Are dental implants worth the money?
For many people, yes, but it depends on your mouth, your health and your budget. An implant costs more at the start than a bridge or a denture. It can also last longer.

About 93 in 100 in a more cautious analysis.
| Option | Cost at the start | Typical lifespan | Worth knowing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | Implant with crown | Highest for one tooth | Post often decades; crown around 15 years | Doesn't involve the teeth next to it |
 | Snap-in denture | In between | Denture at least 7 years; implants longer | More stable than a regular denture; you still take it out |
 | Regular bridge | Lower | Around 15 years | The teeth on each side are filed down to hold it |
 | Regular denture | Lowest | At least 7 years | Can slip; the bone under it keeps shrinking |

Questions patients ask about implant costs
For one tooth, usually yes. Most published Phoenix-area prices for a single implant with its crown fall between $3,000 and $6,000. For a full arch, no. Full-arch implants start higher: at IGO, All-on-4 starts from $9,999.
There's no official average. Published prices from Phoenix-area practices put one implant with a crown at about $3,000 to $6,000, and a full arch of fixed teeth from about $14,000 to $45,000 or more. Your price depends on extractions, grafting and the type of teeth.
Start by getting a complete quote, then look at every way to split it: insurance, an HSA or FSA, and a payment plan. Ask whether a bridge on two implants or a snap-in denture would work for you, since both can cost less than an implant for every tooth. Dental schools also offer treatment at lower fees, with longer waits.
Not always, but ask what's different. A lower price may leave out parts of the treatment, use a less known implant brand, or use a different material for the teeth. Ask for the brand, what the teeth are made of, and what happens if an implant fails.
