How much on average do dental implants cost?

Dental implants can cost between $2,400 and $3,000. Other work that is needed plays a part in determining the final cost of the procedure.

Dental implants are false teeth that are held in place by metal rods implanted in the jaw bone, according to WebMD. The cost varies depending on how many teeth are being implanted and if tissue grafts or extractions are needed. There are ways to lower the cost. Some medical school will have a discounted rate since students are doing the work. Insurance may also cover some of the cost if the patient goes to an approved dentist to have the procedure done.
