Billed under CDT D6010, D6057, D6058. Compiled by Kindred Works LLC editorial.

What is included

The implant post placed in the jaw, the abutment that connects to it, and the crown on top. The complete tooth, but nothing else.

What is not

Extraction, bone graft, sinus lift, sedation, and imaging are billed separately.

The billing codes

D6010 surgical placement of the implant body, D6057 custom abutment, D6058 abutment-supported porcelain crown.

Why the number varies

The three-code total is what people mean by "the cost of an implant". Quotes that look far cheaper are usually pricing D6010 alone. Note that our source publishes two different national averages for a single implant in two different guides, $2,143 on its single-tooth implant guide and $2,695 on its tooth-replacement overview, and describes a separate, higher $4,344 average for "endosteal implants, standard, per tooth" on its procedure cost list. We show the single-tooth guide figure because it is the one published against this exact procedure, and we flag the disagreement rather than averaging it away.

Cutting the bill

A dental savings plan is not insurance, and for implants that can matter

Most dental insurance carries an annual maximum that a single implant can use up on its own, and many plans exclude implants outright. A dental savings plan works differently: it is a membership that gets you a discounted fee at participating dentists, with no annual cap and no waiting period. You pay the whole discounted price yourself.

It is a discount membership, not coverage. There is no insurer paying a share.
The discount applies only at dentists who participate, so check that yours does before you buy a plan.
The saving depends on the plan and the procedure, so confirm the fee for your specific treatment code before committing.

Getting a real number

Get quotes from more than one implant dentist

Nothing on this page is a quote. Implant pricing varies by practice, and the only figure that matters to you is the one on a written treatment plan after an examination. Getting more than one is the single most effective thing you can do about the cost.

Ask for the treatment plan in writing, with the CDT code against every line.
Check whether the quote covers the post, the abutment and the crown, or only some of them.
Ask what is not included: extraction, grafting, imaging, and sedation are often billed separately.

Costs in your state

No state index is published yet. A state gets a page once at least 3 individually sourced figures back it, and none has reached that bar, so the figure above is national. See the methodology for how states get built.

Frequently asked questions

Why do implant quotes differ so much for the same tooth?

A quote may cover only the implant post, or the post plus abutment and crown, and the two are different products with different prices. Ask which CDT codes are on the treatment plan: D6010 is the post, D6057 the abutment, D6058 the crown.

Does dental insurance pay for an implant?

Coverage varies by plan and many plans that do cover implants apply an annual maximum that a single implant can exhaust. Check your plan documents or ask your insurer for the benefit in writing before treatment.
