HRSA lists 9 health center sites in the city run by 2 organizations.

Nothing on this page is a quote, a review or a recommendation of any practice.
Estimated implant costs for the Durham-Chapel Hill, NC area
Medical disclaimer: This site publishes prices, not treatment advice. Nothing here is dental or medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan, and no figure is a quote. Only a licensed dentist who has examined you can say which procedure you need or what it will cost.
| Procedure | National typical | Our Durham area estimate | Estimate range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single implant | $2,143 | $2,100 | $1,625 to $4,075 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | $15,176 | $14,900 | $11,425 to $27,000 |
| Mini implants | $860 | $850 | $675 to $1,575 |
| Bone graft | $558 | $550 | $425 to $1,075 |
| Sinus lift | $2,022 | $1,975 | $1,550 to $3,775 |
| Extraction | $363 | $350 | $275 to $700 |
How we got these numbers. Each national figure is multiplied by 98.2 / 100, BEA's 2024 "Services: Other" regional price parity for the Durham-Chapel Hill, NC metro area (United States = 100), then rounded to the nearest $25. For example, $2,143 × 0.982 = $2,104, shown as $2,100. The metro's all-items parity is 97.6. The index is not dental-specific and the national inputs are aggregator estimates, so this is a planning figure, not a price any practice charges (method and limits).

Oral health estimates for Durham
CDC's estimate of past-year dental visits in Durham (64.2%) is lower than the 67.7% it estimates for Durham County. For complete tooth loss among adults 65 and over, the city estimate is 12.3% against 11.2% for the county. Both are CDC model estimates from survey data, not patient counts.

Population 65 and over in Durham
The share of Durham residents aged 65 and over is lower than the national share in the same survey. It bears on how implants get paid for, because Medicare.gov says that in most cases Medicare does not cover dental services or items such as dentures and implants. If you have a Medicare Advantage or other plan, check its documents for any dental benefit.
