What does the implant starting price include?
The single dental implant promotion is guaranteed starting at $1,500 and includes three components for qualifying cases: the implant placed in the jaw, the connecting abutment and the crown that replaces the visible tooth. Non-insured patients only. Back teeth only. Restrictions apply; limited time offer. This offer cannot be combined with any other discounts or promotions. A consultation is required to determine eligibility and your full treatment estimate.
At your free implant consultation, ask whether you qualify and request a written estimate showing the package and any separately needed care. Confirm imaging, tooth extraction, bone grafting, temporary teeth and follow-up charges before treatment.

Comparing dental implant prices in Las Vegas
There is no single price that describes every implant treatment. A quote for the implant post alone is different from a quote that includes the abutment and final crown. A full-arch restoration replaces a row of teeth and requires a different treatment plan.
| Price or treatment | What it means for your budget |
|---|---|
| Single dental implant: guaranteed starting at $1,500 | Implant, abutment and crown included for qualifying cases. Non-insured patients only. Back teeth only; restrictions apply. Ask about eligibility and any additional care. |
| Implant-post-only quote | Ask for the abutment, final crown and other required fees before comparing totals. |
| Multiple missing teeth | The number of implants and type of replacement teeth determine the plan. Not every missing tooth necessarily needs its own implant. |
| Full arch or full mouth | Request a separate estimate. Confirm whether the price covers one arch or both, and temporary or final teeth. |
A published national cost benchmark
CareCredit lists a national average of $4,344 per tooth for a standard endosteal implant in its dental procedure cost table, based on its cited 2023–2024 research. This is background information, not a current Las Vegas average or a Smiles Today Dental quote. Included services may differ, so compare itemized estimates before comparing prices.
Read the CareCredit cost table and source notes. Ask any office which components and visits its quoted price includes.
Comparing $399 or $1,200 implant advertisements? Check whether the amount describes an implant post, a complete package, a discount or a monthly payment. Request the implant, abutment, final crown and additional care as itemized charges. Compare written estimates for the same treatment rather than assuming every low-priced offer includes—or excludes—the same services.
Our dental implants service guide explains treatment options and suitability. This article focuses on understanding the cost.
What can change your total dental implant cost?
Understanding the three parts of a single-tooth implant
The implant replaces the tooth root and supports the restoration in the jawbone. The abutment connects that implant to the crown. The crown is the visible replacement tooth, shaped to fit your bite and smile. Because these are distinct parts, some estimates list them as separate fees.
Ask whether a quote describes implant placement alone, restoration of an implant already in place, or the complete single-tooth treatment. If you already have an implant and need a new crown, explain that when you call; your treatment needs differ from those of someone replacing a missing tooth for the first time.

1. Your teeth, gums and jawbone
An extraction, treatment for gum disease or bone grafting may add to the treatment fee and healing time. These procedures are not required for every patient. A graft estimate depends on the site, amount of bone needed and procedure recommended; an extraction estimate depends on its complexity. Request a separate fee for each necessary procedure instead of applying an online price range to your case.
2. The replacement teeth and materials
A single crown, an implant-supported bridge and a full-arch restoration differ in materials, laboratory work and treatment planning. The number of implants and the design of the replacement teeth affect the estimate; several missing teeth do not always require one implant per tooth. Ask what material is proposed, why it suits your bite and what alternatives change the price.
3. Treatment stages and follow-up
Planning, imaging, laboratory work and follow-up can be bundled or charged separately. Ask who will place the implant and restore it, what technology is needed for your case and which appointments the fee covers. Compare the scope and provider’s relevant experience alongside price. Healing can take several months or longer, so the final restoration may be fitted later.
4. Anesthesia and your treatment setting
Smiles Today Dental provides local anesthesia and does not offer sedation. Tell the dental team about any concerns before your dental implant procedure so you can discuss what to expect and whether the available approach suits your needs. Ask which anesthesia charges, if any, appear in your written estimate. Do not assume another office’s sedation-inclusive quote describes the same services.
A checklist for comparing implant estimates
Bring these questions to your consultation. Ask the office to identify included items and separate charges, rather than assuming every item is either included or necessary.
Bring a comparison worksheet to your consultation. Record each office’s treatment scope, included services, separate charges and payment terms side by side. Mark unpriced items “unknown” rather than assuming they are free.

| Ask about | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Consultation and imaging | The consultation is currently free. Are any X-rays or scans included or separately charged? |
| Implant, abutment and crown | Are all three included? Which restoration and materials are planned? |
| Extractions or grafting | Do I need them, why, and what is their separate cost? |
| Temporary teeth | Will I need a temporary restoration, and is it included? |
| Appointments and follow-up | Which visits, adjustments and maintenance appointments are covered? |
| Insurance and payment | What is the estimated patient balance, when is it due and what could change it? |
| Eligibility and written terms | Does the single dental implant offer, guaranteed starting at $1,500, apply to my case? Non-insured patients only; back teeth only. Confirm all restrictions and additional costs. |
Does dental insurance cover dental implants?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the proposed treatment. Smiles Today Dental accepts PPO dental insurance, but accepting a plan does not establish that implants are covered or that the practice is in network for every PPO product.
An implant crown may be covered differently from the surgically placed implant or abutment. Ask your insurer to check each component and any preparatory procedures separately. Review your deductible, remaining annual benefit, waiting periods, exclusions and missing-tooth or replacement limitations; crown coverage does not establish coverage for the complete implant treatment.
Request the full treatment fee, estimated insurance payment and estimated patient balance in writing. A benefit estimate can change when the claim is processed. Do not assume a percentage in your policy applies to the entire quoted fee.
Review our insurance information and call to confirm your exact plan.
Dental implant cost without insurance and payment options
Self-pay patients are welcome. Ask whether your case qualifies for the offer starting at $1,500 and request the complete treatment estimate, including any additional care. Having no insurance does not change the need for an examination and an appropriate treatment plan.
Smiles Today Dental’s financial-information page lists CareCredit, LendingClub and in-house arrangements. Ask the office which options currently apply to implant treatment and request their written terms. Availability, approval, deposits and repayment schedules can vary.
Monthly payments and promotional financing
How promotional financing works. CareCredit offers “no interest if paid in full” promotions on qualifying purchases at participating providers. These are conditional deferred-interest offers: if the promotional balance is not paid in full within the promotional period, interest is charged from the purchase date. Required minimum payments may not pay off the balance in time. Confirm the offer available for your treatment and read the CareCredit terms before applying.
What might a monthly budget look like? As a simple budgeting illustration, $1,500 divided over 12 months is $125 per month before interest, fees or additional treatment. This is arithmetic, not an offered payment plan or a lender quote. Your actual payment depends on the amount financed, deposit, term, rate and approval.
Compare the total, not only the monthly payment. Request the treatment fee, estimated insurance contribution, patient balance and total repayment. For an in-house arrangement, confirm the deposit, payment dates and whether payments must be completed before a treatment stage. Ask what happens if a payment is late.
See patient financial information and confirm current arrangements with the office.
Single-tooth versus full-mouth dental implant costs
A single-tooth implant supports a crown to replace one missing tooth. For several missing teeth, a treatment plan may use individual implant crowns or an implant-supported bridge. Full-arch treatment replaces an upper or lower row of teeth with a restoration supported by multiple implants. The offer starting at $1,500 applies to qualifying single implant cases for non-insured patients. Back teeth only; it is not an All-on-4 or full-mouth price. Multiplying it by the number of missing teeth will not give a reliable full-arch estimate.
One arch means the upper or lower row of teeth; both arches means upper and lower teeth. A removable implant-supported denture and a fixed full-arch restoration are different designs and should have separate estimates. Ask how many implants are planned, whether the teeth are removable by you, and whether temporary and final teeth are included. Confirm extraction, grafting and maintenance fees separately.
For that treatment, explore our full-arch implant information and request an individual assessment.

Plan for healing and ongoing care
How the appointment sequence affects planning
The dental implant process generally includes assessment, implant placement, healing and fitting the replacement tooth. A patient who needs preliminary treatment may have a longer sequence. Ask about the expected number of visits and when the dentist will reassess healing before the final crown is fitted.
Plan for travel, time away from work and any temporary restoration as well as the dental fees. Ask the office to explain the cost and timing of each stage. A free consultation does not by itself mean that every diagnostic test or later appointment is free.
Maintenance, repairs and replacement
Dental implants can restore chewing and appearance and help limit jawbone shrinkage after tooth loss. Those benefits matter when comparing long-term value, but implants are not a lifetime guarantee. Daily cleaning and regular dental visits remain important. The crown or other restoration may need repair or replacement, and complications can affect the implant itself. The FDA explains implant benefits and risks.
Ask how to clean the restoration, how often to return and what any written repair or warranty policy covers. Your health, smoking and healing can affect treatment outcomes. Your dentist can explain benefits, risks and alternatives for your situation.
How can I get dental implants if I cannot afford them?
Tell your dentist what you can afford before committing to a plan. Ask for suitable tooth replacement options, the cost of each and what treatment is needed now. Dental implants, dental bridges and removable dentures serve different needs; a price comparison is useful only when the options are appropriate for your oral health.
A conventional bridge uses neighboring teeth for support. A removable partial denture replaces some missing teeth and is taken out for cleaning. A complete denture may be considered when all teeth in an arch are missing. Your remaining natural teeth, gums, bite and preferences help determine the choices. The American Dental Association explains these tooth replacement options.
For each suitable option, ask about the initial fee, adjustments, cleaning appointments and possible repairs or replacement. Also discuss how it may affect neighboring teeth and day-to-day eating. There is no single lowest-cost choice that is right for everyone.
If you need to delay dental implant treatment, ask what interim care is appropriate and when to return for reassessment. Avoid making a decision about tooth extraction or keeping a damaged tooth on price alone. A consultation can help you understand both the financial choices and the clinical reasons behind the recommendation.
Dental implant pricing questions
Is the $1,500 starting price for the implant post only?
No. The single dental implant offer is guaranteed starting at $1,500 and includes the implant, abutment and crown for qualifying cases. Non-insured patients only. Back teeth only; restrictions apply. Additional care may change your total treatment cost; request an itemized estimate after your free implant consultation.
Is bone grafting included?
The confirmed package includes the implant, abutment and crown. Do not assume grafting is included. Your dentist must determine whether you need it, and the office should explain its price in your written estimate.
Can I get a firm total over the phone?
The team can explain the package and arrange a free implant consultation. An examination is needed to determine suitability, qualification and any additional treatment before confirming your complete plan.
Does $1,500 cover a full mouth of dental implants?
No. It is a qualifying single-implant package. Full-arch and full-mouth treatment require separate plans and estimates.
Can I pay for implants in monthly installments?
Financing may allow eligible patients to spread payments over time. Ask which current CareCredit or office payment options apply to your treatment. Compare the deposit, interest, fees, promotional conditions and total repayment before choosing a plan; a particular monthly payment or approval is not guaranteed.
How should I compare $399 or $1,200 dental implant advertisements?
The advertised amount alone does not tell you the complete treatment cost. Check whether it describes the implant post, a package, a discount or a monthly payment. Ask for the implant, abutment, final crown and any additional care to be itemized. Compare written estimates for the same treatment rather than assuming every low-priced offer includes—or excludes—the same services.
