When compared to dentures, dental implants do cost more — but the confidence and comfort they restore can be life-changing. Our patients who choose to receive dental implants often report a marked change in their comfort with eating, smiling, interacting, and just plain living their lives. Plus, dental implants can positively affect the long-term health of your jaw bone and facial structure as they afford patients the opportunity to regain full use of that missing tooth and the chance to preserve the supporting bone.
Your health and happiness are always worth investing in and, at Affordable Dentures & Implants, our mission is to make that investment more accessible to all.
What are the Dental Implant Cost Factors?
Implants on average cost upwards of $1000 on their own, but your total investment may be greater depending on the other treatments, oral care, and other dental solutions you may need throughout your mouth.
You can also expect your investment to change based on the number of implants you receive. Whether you are recommended one or multiple implants may be influenced by the following conditions:
- The health of your gums in the area where the implant will be placed
- The number of teeth affected or missing
- The location of the affected or missing teeth
The most expensive part of a dental implant will be the titanium implant and the crown that will act as the new tooth. However, your surgical costs may vary based on your insurance plan or the level of care you require. We always provide a cost breakdown for each service needed to complete a dental implant procedure so that our patients know exactly what they will be paying for before proceeding.
What Makes Our Dental Implant Prices Affordable?
We’re here to make tooth replacement affordable for all. Many of the reasons that make us price leaders in dentures help us do the same for implants, like:

There is no outside commercial lab involved so the turnaround time is short, same-day service is the norm, the costs stay very low, and the responsiveness to customized patient needs is excellent.

The end result is delivering a high standard of care and efficiencies that keep prices just how you want them: affordable.
Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
Coverage of dental implants by insurance providers depends on your plan. You may be eligible for full or partial coverage of one or multiple implants. We’re proud to accept major dental insurances, Medicare, and third-party care providers like Veterans Affairs.
That said, many of our patients find that our fees are actually lower than the copay required by their insurance provider. The practice staff at a local dentures office near you can help you calculate the costs so you can make the best decision.
Are Dental Implants Tax Deductible?
Yes, dental implants can be tax-deductible under certain circumstances. In the United States, if you itemize your deductions on your federal income tax return, you may deduct medical and dental expenses that exceed a specific percentage of your adjusted gross income (AGI).
Typically, expenses related to the dental implant procedure, including surgical placement of the implant and any associated dental fees, are considered deductible medical expenses. This also extends to necessary preparatory treatments or procedures directly related to the dental implant process, such as bone grafting or tooth extractions.
Affordable Dentures & Implants recommends consulting with a tax professional to determine if your procedure qualifies for a deduction.
Are Dental Implants Worth the Investment?
Dental implants are widely regarded as one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. Not only do they restore the appearance and functionality of your smile, but they also offer numerous benefits that make them well worth the investment.

Implant-supported dentures provide stability, comfort, and confidence, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh with ease. You won't have to worry about using sticky denture adhesives or removing your teeth at night. Unlike traditional removable dentures, implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, providing a strong foundation that eliminates slipping, shifting, and discomfort.
Dental implants also help preserve jawbone health by stimulating bone growth and preventing bone loss, which can occur after tooth loss. This helps maintain the structure of your face and prevents the sunken appearance that can occur with missing teeth.
In addition to their functional and aesthetic benefits, dental implants are designed to last for up to 20+ years with proper care, which is about twice as long as traditional removable dentures.
