Frequently asked
How much does a dental implant cost?
Single implant + abutment + crown: $3,000–$5,000 in the US. Full-arch (All-on-4 or All-on-6): $20,000–$35,000 per arch. Bone grafting, sinus lifts, and premium implant brands add cost.
How long do dental implants last?
The titanium implant itself lasts 25+ years for most patients. The crown on top typically needs replacement at 10–15 years. With good hygiene, implants outlast every other tooth-replacement option.
Are 'teeth in a day' really finished in one day?
Same-day-teeth (immediate loading) places a fixed temporary on the day of surgery. The final crown/bridge is placed 3–6 months later after osseointegration. Marketing language can be misleading — read the fine print before signing.
Why are implants in Turkey or Mexico so much cheaper?
Lower labor and overhead costs are real. But savings come with risks: difficulty of follow-up if complications arise, variable implant brand quality, and limited recourse if work fails years later. For full-arch cases, the math sometimes still favors travel; for single implants, less so.
What's peri-implantitis?
Inflammation around an implant — the equivalent of gum disease. 10–20% of implants develop it over 10 years. Preventable with hygiene and regular maintenance; treatable when caught early. The leading cause of implant failure beyond the first year.
