How much does a tooth extraction before an implant cost?

Billed under CDT D7210. Compiled by Kindred Works LLC editorial.

National cost

Range	Amount
Low	$281
Typical	$363
High	$702

What is included

Surgical removal of the tooth that the implant will replace.

What is not

Any graft placed into the socket at the same visit, which is billed under its own code.

The billing codes

D7210 extraction, erupted tooth requiring removal of bone and/or sectioning of tooth.

Why the number varies

D7210 is the surgical extraction code, and these are the surgical-extraction figures. A straightforward non-surgical extraction (D7140) is a different, cheaper code: the same source puts that at $177 on average, ranging $137 to $835. We price the surgical figure here because an extraction done to clear the way for an implant is usually the surgical one.

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

Can the implant go in the same day as the extraction?

Sometimes, and sometimes not. Whether immediate placement is possible depends on the bone and the state of the socket, which only the treating dentist can assess.
