The Cost of Dental Implants – An Overview
The data presented here comes from an independent survey of 73 dental offices in Texas, conducted in 2025. This includes 43 practices in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where our office is located. The survey encompassed a variety of providers, including general dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, cosmetic dentists, and practices specializing in implants.
Please note: These figures do not represent our office’s prices, nor are they a statement of what dental implant costs should be. They simply reflect the findings of an independent survey. These numbers also do not account for additional services like bone grafts, extractions, or temporary same-day teeth.
Single Tooth Implant Cost
The figures you see here are based on dental implant cost estimates provided over the phone by each surveyed practice. Again, these don’t reflect our office’s pricing or suggest what dental implants should cost. They also don’t include additional services such as bone grafts, extractions, or temporary same-day teeth.
Average Dental Implant Costs in Texas
- Total Cost (Implant, Crown, and Abutment)
- Average: $4,561
- Highest: $8,000
- Lowest: $1,995
- Most Common Price Range: $4,500-$5,500
- Implant-Only Cost
- Average: $2,604
- Highest: $6,000
- Lowest: $1,199
- Crown-Only Cost
- Average: $2,907
- Highest: $3,991
- Lowest: $545
When Are The Implant and Crown Charged Separately?
Most dental implant providers don’t handle every step of the procedure in-house. It’s more common for one office to place the implant while another handles the crown.
In most cases, involving multiple offices significantly increases the cost of a dental implant. The survey indicates an average $1,000 increase per implant when different offices are used, and that’s before factoring in the added time, which we’ll discuss later.
GET A DENTAL IMPLANT COST ESTIMATE
Please Note: Dental Implant Cost Can Vary Widely
While the cost of a dental implant might seem straightforward, it’s actually quite variable. Every dental practice uses a unique fee schedule, leading to drastically different pricing.
For example, one office in Austin, TX, might quote a single implant, crown, and abutment at $2,800, while another in Dallas quotes the total cost between $6,000 and $8,000. An oral surgeon in Central Texas might charge $2,500 for the implant alone, then refer you to a cosmetic dentist for the crown and abutment, who can also have a wide range of fees.
Meanwhile, the most common price range for a crown appears to be between $2,000 and $3,000, though one office charged as high as $4,000 just for the crown, not including the implant.
Therefore, it’s crucial to understand the features you should look for in an implant provider. This knowledge will help you identify the best value for your investment.
Full Mouth Dental Implant Cost
Here are the average costs for different types of full mouth implants based on 2025 Texas market data, calculated per arch.
Again, these are not our office’s fee schedule or prices:
- All-on-4: $23,508 (average per arch)
- Snap-In Dentures: $15,333 (average per arch)
- Zirconia: $31,250 (average per arch)
Types of Full Mouth Dental Implants
It’s important to define terms when discussing full dental implant costs. The phrase “full mouth dental implants” refers to a procedure that replaces an entire arch of natural teeth with implants and a prosthetic. Several implant dentistry procedures fit this description:
- All-on-4
- Snap-In Dentures
- Zirconia Full Arch Bridges
All-on-4 vs. Snap-In Dentures
All-on-4 prosthetics are full arch replacements made from acrylic with a metal base. They are screwed onto dental implants, making them non-removable by the patient. A dental professional must remove them for maintenance or repair.
Snap-In Dentures are also made from acrylic, essentially the same material as All-on-4. In fact, many offices offering All-on-4 also refer to them as “Implant Dentures.”
Fixed vs. Removable
The key distinction between Snap-In Dentures and All-on-4 is that Snap-In Dentures are not permanently fixed to the dental implants. Instead, they snap on and off, allowing them to be removed and cleaned in solution. This enables proper cleaning, reducing bacterial buildup underneath.
For effective cleaning, dentures need to be removed and soaked overnight, and brushed along the grooves that meet your gums to prevent bacteria accumulation. If an acrylic prosthetic is permanently fixed to your implants, thorough cleaning becomes very difficult. This is why our Fort Worth implant office does not provide All-on-4. Since All-on-4 usually uses the same material as dentures, we believe they should be cleaned in the same way. Permanently screwing an acrylic prosthetic to dental implants effectively prevents this.
However, we do offer Snap-In Dentures (also known as Implant Supported Dentures) as a more affordable alternative to Zirconia bridges. Implant dentures are typically less expensive than All-on-4 within the same office, though their cost can still vary significantly depending on the practice, ranging from as low as $5,000 to as high as $25,000 per arch.
Zirconia Bridges
Zirconia is the highest quality material in implant dentistry for creating natural-looking full mouth dental implants. It’s significantly stronger than acrylic and non-absorbent. You can clean Zirconia bridges by brushing them, just like natural teeth. Furthermore, they don’t overlap with your gum tissue like acrylic bridges and snap-in dentures, meaning they feel and function like natural teeth.
Due to their high quality, full arch zirconia implants tend to cost more than All-on-4 or implant dentures. Like those procedures, their cost varies significantly by dentist or office. On the low end, zirconia bridges usually start at $20,000 per arch, while on the high end, they can reach $55,000 per arch.
12 Factors That Can Affect Dental Implant Cost
Several factors can (and often should) influence the cost of a dental implant. These include:
- Temporary Same Day Teeth
- Zirconia vs. Porcelain vs. Acrylic
- CT Scans vs. X-Rays
- One Location vs. Multiple Offices
- In-House Lab vs. Outsourced
- Same Day Extractions
- Experience Level
- Bone Grafts and Other Procedures
- Minimally Invasive Care
- Sizes of Dental Implants
- Hidden Fees
- Financing
Please note that these factors “can” affect dental implant cost because the absence of higher quality features doesn’t automatically translate to lower patient costs. As in nearly any industry, below-average costs often come with a trade-off in quality of care. However, high prices don’t necessarily guarantee high quality either.
In fact, some surveyed practices charged significantly higher-than-average prices for dental implants despite offering neither a streamlined process nor higher quality materials. This point bears repeating: market data shows that high prices do not necessarily reflect an advanced level of care.
This is why patient education on features that can enhance or hinder the quality of their dental implants is so vital. Knowing these features will enable you to properly evaluate a quote from an implant provider. We will review these features later in this post.
1. Temporary Same Day Teeth for Full Mouth Dental Implants
Many people are unaware that a temporary prosthetic can be placed over dental implants on the very day they are inserted. This is a significant advantage. Without it, you would live with posts protruding from your gums for 3-9 months.
However, many offices don’t offer this service, especially providers who don’t handle all treatment in one location. According to survey data, 45% of practices advertising for implants do not offer temporary same-day implants. Meanwhile, 90-94% of offices that do offer same-day implants will charge extra for the service, with costs ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars.
So, unless you’re comfortable with titanium posts in your gums for months while awaiting your final teeth, inquire about this service. Ideally, a dental implant provider includes it in the cost of full mouth dental implants (as our office does). Be aware, though, that very few providers offer this free of charge.
2. Zirconia vs. Porcelain vs. Acrylic
Porcelain is a common material in cosmetic dentistry for crowns and bridges, often used for permanent restorations cemented to dental implants. While porcelain can look very realistic, it’s not as strong as natural teeth and is somewhat prone to cracking or breaking, especially with harder foods.
Acrylic is a plastic used for dentures. It’s more absorbent than other prosthetic materials, which is why dentures are removed and soaked overnight to eliminate moisture and bacteria. Acrylic is also more susceptible to cracking and breaking than porcelain or zirconia, a frequent complaint among denture wearers. This is an important consideration when researching full mouth dental implant costs. Specifically, be aware that All-on-4 procedures typically use acrylic rather than zirconia.
Zirconia is More Durable, Lifelike, and Natural
Zirconia is the most durable material available in dentistry for creating natural-looking crowns, bridges, and full arch replacements. It shares many qualities with diamonds, including comparable durability. Thanks to recent digital design and 3D milling technology, zirconia can be precisely milled to resemble real teeth. These features make zirconia the superior material for dental implant crowns and bridges.
Do Most Practices Offer Zirconia?
Out of the 73 Texas practices surveyed that provided material information, only 38% offered zirconia. Many of these practices also based their average costs on acrylic or porcelain, confirming that zirconia would increase the price they had quoted.
It’s crucial to remember this when gathering quotes from dental implant providers, as some offices don’t reduce the cost of full mouth dental implants despite not offering zirconia. In fact, many offices using only porcelain or acrylic will quote the same (or higher) total price for a dental implant as another office that uses zirconia for the same procedure. Our dental implant office in Fort Worth uses zirconia for all fixed prosthetics. We also offer implant-supported dentures (Snap-In Dentures) made from acrylic as a more affordable alternative for patients who desire full mouth dental implants but cannot afford zirconia.
3. CT Scans vs. X-Rays
A significant factor impacting dental implant cost is the use of advanced technology. Practices utilizing 3D imaging, such as cone beam CT scans, can achieve more precise implant placement, reducing complications and extending implant longevity. Modern advancements like computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) also allow for highly customized implants and crowns that perfectly fit your unique anatomy. These innovations may come with a higher initial cost but can ultimately save money by reducing the need for future adjustments or replacements.
CT scans are superior to X-rays for dental implants because they provide a 3D view of your jaw, revealing much more information about its shape, volume, and bone condition. This offers the dental professional greater insight for optimal implant placement.
CT Scans Reveal More
In contrast, X-rays offer only a flat view of your jaw, providing significantly less information. When seeking a dental implant provider, ensure they offer CT scans. Roughly half of dental offices advertising for dental implants offer CT scans (49%), while the others only provide X-rays.
4. One Office vs. Multiple Locations
Our research indicates that getting dental implants in one location can streamline your implant process by an average of 8 weeks compared to using multiple locations. The same survey revealed that single-office care also decreases dental implant costs by 5% on average before accounting for added fees or services.
Having every step of your implant treatment at a single location is far more convenient than visiting multiple offices. It’s even better if the office has its own in-house lab, which reduces the margin for error in designing your new teeth and can further streamline your process. This is the case with The Dental Implant Place, which was among the first offices in the country to handle every step of the dental implant process internally.
5. In-House Labs vs. Outsourced Lab Work
Among all surveyed offices, only 8% had their own in-house dental lab. The average implant timeline estimate from these practices was 3.6 months, almost 2 months shorter than the overall survey average estimate of 5.3 months.
Meanwhile, offices that outsourced their lab work typically stated that this process would add 2-3 weeks to a patient’s waiting time. In other words, while an in-house lab isn’t a guaranteed shortcut, it can certainly streamline a patient’s dental implant process. This is why our implant practice maintains its own in-house lab.
6. Same Day Extractions
Some practices may tell you that extractions and dental implants must be done in separate appointments. However, this isn’t always true. Our office frequently performs same-day extractions and implants in cases where the patient has adequate oral health. This is crucial because healing from extractions can take several months. If a provider cannot perform this combined treatment, you might face an additional 3-6 months of waiting time for your final set of new teeth.
Sometimes, this waiting period is unavoidable, regardless of the surgeon’s skill. Nevertheless, you should consult with an experienced dental professional who regularly performs same-day extractions and implants to determine if you qualify for this procedure.
7. Experience, Skill, and Approach
Ideally, the dental professional placing your implants will have extensive experience. The best indicator of skill level is the number of implants they have placed or the number of cases they’ve completed.
This is because some dentists and surgeons don’t specialize. They might technically have 10 years of experience placing implants, but 90% of that time could have been spent on general dentistry, with only occasional implant placements. In other words, time alone doesn’t necessarily reflect the skill or experience gained from placing a large number of implants in a wide variety of cases.
Our dental implant office in Fort Worth has focused exclusively on implants and restorative treatment since 2007. In that time, our founder, Dr. Steve Brown, has placed over 12,000 dental implants. This number excludes implants placed in his practice before he shifted his focus to implant dentistry.
So, if you’re researching the cost of dental implants, make sure to ask about the provider’s experience. They might not have an exact number, but they should be able to give you a rough estimate of the implants they’ve placed and confirm if they offer advantageous treatment types (like same-day extractions or same-day temporary restorations).
8. Bone Grafts and Other Procedures
The cost of full mouth dental implants can increase with additional procedures. Besides extractions, bone grafts are common treatments required for full implants.
Bone graft prices can vary widely depending on the health of the grafting site and the method used by the dental practice. Synthetic bone grafts can range from $200-$1,200 or higher. Grafts using the patient’s own bone will always cost more, potentially as high as $4,000 per graft.
9. Minimally Invasive Care
The term “minimally invasive” refers to surgery that requires less cutting, drilling, or activity that causes bodily trauma. Less trauma generally means more comfort and less pain during and after surgery. It also typically leads to a faster healing process, as the body has less trauma to recover from.
When applied to implant dentistry, it means the dental professional places implants by inserting a tiny pinhole into the patient’s gums and gently rotating the post into the tissue by hand. There is no drilling and no peeling back of the gums. The implants placed also typically have a smaller-than-average diameter. This is vastly different from the conventional “flaps” method, where the dental professional cuts open the gums, drills a hole in the bone, and screws the implant into place. The “flaps” approach is considerably more traumatic, and the vast majority of implant providers use it.
In fact, only a handful of practices worldwide offer minimally invasive dental implant care. Our office, The Dental Implant Place in Fort Worth, TX, is one of them.
10. Different Implant Sizes
Many dentists only place one type of dental implant. However, it’s crucial for an implant dentist to be proficient with multiple types and sizes of implants. This increases your chances of qualifying for full dental implants and can even boost the number of implants your jaw can support. Mini dental implants and small diameter posts also require less surgical trauma than wider implants, which can mean faster healing and less pain.
Finally, smaller implants can reduce the cost of full mouth dental implants. Some offices charge higher prices based on the cost of the implants they use, and a larger implant often means a higher price. Moreover, using smaller implants can potentially help you avoid the need for bone grafts, which are an added cost and can involve another surgical procedure.
11. Hidden Fees
Always ask about any potential additional costs for your full mouth dental implant procedure. Specifically, inquire about the cost of appointments, extra scans, repairs, customizations, and any other necessary procedures. If the dental office doesn’t provide all your treatment in one place, it’s more likely that you’ll encounter additional costs later in your treatment.
12. Financing
Ensure that the dental office or oral surgeon you choose offers financing. Full mouth dental implants are a significant investment, regardless of where you get them. Financing your implant procedure can go a long way toward getting a great return on your investment.
Our office offers a variety of dental implants payment plans at our Fort Worth, TX, office, making your full mouth teeth implants more affordable. Some of our plans include 0% financing, while others allow you to spread your monthly payments out over up to 5 years.

Note: 16% of Practices Surveyed Don’t Place Implants, Despite Advertising For Them
Believe it or not, a significant number of dental offices that advertise dental implants actually don’t place them. Out of all the dental implant providers surveyed, 16.4% did not provide dental implant care themselves, despite listing it as a service on their website.
