Dental Implant Estimate

Dental implants in Albuquerque, NM: cost estimate and public records

Compiled by Kindred Works LLC editorial from federal datasets. Data retrieved October 5, 2026. 4 of 4 city-level datasets have records for Albuquerque.

The CMS NPI registry lists 601 active dentists with a practice address in Albuquerque, and 45 of them list oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics or periodontics as their primary specialty. HRSA lists 14 health center sites in the city run by 4 organizations. Our cost estimate for the Albuquerque, NM area applies BEA's published price index for the metro to national cost figures, and the arithmetic is shown under the table. Among the 60 cities with pages on this site, Albuquerque has the highest figure for residents aged 65 and over (17.7%). Nothing on this page is a quote, a review or a recommendation of any practice.

Estimated implant costs for the Albuquerque, NM 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.

ProcedureNational typicalOur Albuquerque area estimateEstimate range
Single implant$2,143$2,100$1,625 to $4,100
All-on-4 (per arch)$15,176$14,950$11,475 to $27,100
Mini implants$860$850$675 to $1,600
Bone graft$558$550$425 to $1,075
Sinus lift$2,022$2,000$1,575 to $3,775
Extraction$363$350$275 to $700

How we got these numbers. Each national figure is multiplied by 98.5 / 100, BEA's 2024 "Services: Other" regional price parity for the Albuquerque, NM metro area (United States = 100), then rounded to the nearest $25. For example, $2,143 × 0.985 = $2,111, shown as $2,100. The metro's all-items parity is 95.5. 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 Albuquerque

95% CI (60.6, 66.6)
Adults 65+ who have lost all their teeth
11.1%
95% CI ( 9.2, 13.3)

CDC's estimate of past-year dental visits in Albuquerque (63.6%) is lower than the 65.3% it estimates for Bernalillo County. For complete tooth loss among adults 65 and over, the city estimate is 11.1% against 10.9% for the county. Both are CDC model estimates from survey data, not patient counts.

The share of Albuquerque residents aged 65 and over is higher 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.
