Dental implants in Phoenix, Arizona

A single-tooth implant in Phoenix typically costs $3,000–$6,000 all-in, the process takes 6–12 months end to end, and modern implants succeed at ~95%+ at 10 years. Ranges are pre-insurance and vary by case.

Implant costs in Phoenix

ProcedureTypicalLow–High
Single tooth implant (post + abutment + crown, all-in)
National average ~$4,000–$4,500. High-cost metros (NYC, CA, HI) up to ~$7,000.
$3,000–$4,800$3,000 – $6,000+
Implant placement only (CDT D6010 — the post alone)
The abutment and crown are separate codes — that is why the all-in price is higher.
$1,800–$2,300$1,800 – $2,500
Implant-supported bridge (3–4 teeth on 2+ implants)
Varies widely by span and materials.
$5,000–$15,000$5,000 – $20,000+
All-on-4 / full arch (per arch)
"Starting at" offers usually exclude extractions and grafts.
$18,000–$30,000$15,000 – $35,000+
Full mouth (both arches)
Traditional multi-implant arches with premium materials reach the high end.
$40,000–$60,000$30,000 – $100,000+
Bone graft (single site / socket preservation)
Material drives price (xenograft → autograft). Often covered when medically necessary.
$800–$1,500$400 – $3,000
Sinus lift
Adds bone to the upper-back jaw when it is too thin near the sinus.
$2,500–$3,500$1,500 – $5,000
Tooth extraction (add-on)
Often bundled with socket-preservation grafting.
$300–$650$150 – $650+

How it works

  1. Step 1
    Consultation & imaging

    A 3D scan (CBCT) and exam confirm whether you have enough healthy jawbone and gums. Imaging is often a separate line item (~$250–$1,000).

  2. Step 2
    Extraction & grafting (if needed)

    A failing tooth is removed and, if the bone is thin, a graft or sinus lift is placed first. Graft healing adds about 3+ months.

  3. Step 3
    Implant placement

    The titanium or zirconia post is surgically placed into the jaw under local anesthesia. The surgery itself is quick (~15–20 minutes per implant); soft tissue heals in about a week.

  4. Step 4
    Osseointegration

    The jawbone fuses to the implant over 3–9 months. This fusion is what makes the implant stable, and it is the reason most cases take 6–12 months end to end.

  5. Step 5
    Abutment & final crown

    Once integrated, the abutment and the final crown (or bridge/denture) are attached — usually a ~1-hour restoration appointment.

Questions

+ How much does a dental implant cost?
A single-tooth implant (post + abutment + crown) typically costs $3,000–$6,000 in the US, with a national average around $4,000–$4,500. Add-ons like extractions, bone grafts, or sinus lifts increase the total. (CareCredit)
+ Does insurance cover dental implants?
Often not fully. Many plans historically excluded implants; those that cover them usually pay 10%–50% after a deductible, capped by a $1,000–$3,000 annual maximum. Always verify your specific plan and waiting periods. (healthinsurance.org)
+ How long do dental implants last?
The implant post can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, though the crown on top typically needs replacement every 5–15 years. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ What is the success rate of dental implants?
Studies report roughly 95% or higher survival at 10 years (commonly cited near 96%), though rates vary with bone quality, overall health, smoking, and oral care. (NIH / PMC)
+ Is getting a dental implant painful?
The surgery is done under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during placement. Afterward, expect mild-to-moderate discomfort, swelling, and minor bleeding for about 1–2 weeks, usually managed with standard pain relief. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ How long does the whole implant process take?
Most cases take 6 to 12 months from start to final crown, because the jawbone needs 3–9 months to fuse to the implant (osseointegration). Bone grafting adds several more months. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of teeth using four implants to support one fixed prosthesis, often with a same-day temporary set of teeth. It typically costs $18,000–$30,000+ per arch. (Aspen Dental)
+ How much do full-mouth dental implants cost?
Full-mouth (both arches) commonly runs $40,000–$60,000 for All-on-4-style treatment, and up to $100,000+ for traditional multi-implant arches with premium materials. (Aspen Dental)
+ Dental implant vs. bridge — which is better?
An implant stands alone, preserves jawbone, and can last a lifetime, but costs more upfront and takes months. A bridge is faster and cheaper but requires grinding down adjacent teeth and does not prevent bone loss. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ Implants vs. dentures — what is the difference?
Implants are fixed in the jaw, stimulate bone to slow bone loss, and feel like natural teeth. Traditional dentures are removable, sit on the gums, and do not prevent the bone shrinkage that follows tooth loss. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ Am I a candidate for dental implants?
You generally need enough healthy jawbone and gums. Uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, certain bone medications, and prior head/neck radiation can lower success; bone grafting can address insufficient bone. (NIH / PMC)
+ Do I need a bone graft for an implant?
You may, if the jawbone is too thin or short to anchor the implant. Grafts cost roughly $400–$3,000 depending on type and size and add about 3+ months of healing. (CareCredit)
+ Who places dental implants — a dentist or a specialist?
Implants may be placed by oral surgeons, periodontists, or trained general dentists, and restored by prosthodontists or general dentists. Complex cases (bone loss, multiple implants, sinus proximity) are usually referred to a specialist. (American Academy of Periodontology)
+ Can I finance dental implants?
Yes — CareCredit is widely accepted and offers 6–24 month deferred-interest plans and longer fixed-APR plans. Note that deferred-interest plans charge back-interest if not paid in full by term end; HSA/FSA and in-office plans are also common. (CareCredit)
+ Are titanium or zirconia implants better?
Titanium is the long-established standard with the most research behind it. Zirconia (ceramic) is metal-free and tooth-colored, an option for those with metal sensitivity or esthetic concerns at the gumline. Both osseointegrate. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ Why is a single implant cheaper than the "implant code" I saw quoted?
The CDT code D6010 covers only the surgical placement of the implant post — roughly $1,800–$2,300. The full $3,000–$6,000 price adds the abutment and crown, which are separate codes. (ADA Survey of Dental Fees)
