Crowns and Abutments
The dental implant is actually the threaded screw that fits into your jaw. The post and artificial tooth are separate components. The abutment is the post that screws into the implant and creates a base to place a crown. The abutment costs between $275 and $450. The crown can cost between $1,000 and $3,000.
Diagnostic Images
Before your dentist or oral surgeon can place dental implants, they’ll need to take X-rays or CT scans. These images allow them to see your jaw clearly and serve as the blueprint for the procedure. Diagnostic images cost between $25 and $750 depending on the number of images they need.
Tooth Extractions
In some instances, you might need to have a tooth or teeth removed before your dentist can place a dental implant. The average cost for tooth extraction varies greatly. Some extractions only require local anesthesia while others require general anesthesia. Additionally, complicated procedures cost more. The cost for a tooth extraction ranges between $75 and $200 per tooth. Removing extensively impacted teeth costs between $800 to $4,000.
