What It Costs to Replace a Single Missing Tooth
If you are missing one tooth, a dental implant is often the most natural and long-lasting replacement option. Many patients researching treatment ask:
“How much does a single tooth implant cost?”
The cost depends on several factors including the implant placement, the crown restoration, and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting are required.
At Rockville Dental Arts, we evaluate each patient individually to provide an accurate estimate and treatment plan.
How Much Does a Single Tooth Implant Cost?
A single tooth dental implant typically costs between $3,000 and $6,000, including the implant post, abutment, and crown. The total cost may vary depending on bone health, implant location, and the complexity of the procedure.
What Is Included in a Single Tooth Implant?
Dental implant treatment usually includes several steps.
These may include:
• Implant surgical placement
• Abutment connection
• Custom dental crown
• Diagnostic imaging (X-rays or CBCT)
• Follow-up care
Each component ensures proper healing and long-term stability.
When Is a Single Implant Recommended?
A single dental implant is often recommended when:
• One tooth is missing
• Adjacent teeth are healthy
• You want to avoid altering neighboring teeth
• Long-term durability is a priority
Unlike bridges, implants do not rely on surrounding teeth for support.
