01
Average Single Implant: $3,000 to $6,000. This includes the implant, abutment, and crown—your complete new tooth.
02
A full arch restoration (like All-on-4® or All-on-6®) typically costs $20,000 to $35,000+ per arch. This is a full-scale investment in your smile.
03
Preliminary work like bone grafting or tooth extraction is often necessary and adds to the total. Ask for an itemized quote to budget for these essential procedures.
04
The cost reflects the long-term value of implants (lasting decades) versus cheaper alternatives (bridges/dentures) that require frequent, costly replacement.
05
Specialists (Oral Surgeons, Periodontists) generally charge more but have extensive training. Verify your chosen professional's experience and technology (e.g., 3D CT Scans).
06
Don't expect full coverage. Most dental insurance does not cover the full cost of the implant itself, but often covers portions of diagnostics (X-rays) and preparatory procedures (extractions).
07
Chicago clinics widely accept CareCredit and may offer in-house payment plans. These options can break the cost into manageable, low or no-interest monthly payments.
08
The UIC College of Dentistry (University of Illinois Chicago) is a potential source for high-quality, reduced-cost treatment performed by supervised dental residents.
