Dental Implant Cost in Los Angeles
There is no single price for a dental implant, because no two implant plans are the same. What you pay depends on how many teeth are being replaced, what the bone needs first, and what goes on top. Here is what drives the cost, and how Smile L.A. makes sure you know it before treatment starts.
The cost of a dental implant in Downtown Los Angeles depends on the number of implants, whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed first, and the type of crown, bridge or denture placed on top. At Smile LA Downtown Modern Dentistry your benefits are verified before the visit and the estimate is put in writing, so you know what insurance is expected to cover and what is left before anything is scheduled.
What affects the cost of a dental implant
- How many teeth are replaced. A single implant, an implant supported bridge and a full arch on All-on-6 implants are very different plans.
- What the bone needs first. Where there is not enough bone, a bone graft or sinus lift comes before the implant.
- Whether a tooth needs removing. A failing tooth may need a tooth extraction first.
- What goes on top. An implant retained crown, a bridge or an implant supported denture each carry a different cost.
- Planning and comfort. Implants are planned with 3D imaging, and nitrous oxide, oral or IV sedation can be added for comfort.
Why we give you an estimate rather than a price list
Two patients both asking for one implant can need quite different treatment: one may be ready for the implant on the day, the other may need a graft and several months of healing first. A price list would be wrong for most people. Instead, the 3D scan and consultation come first, and the estimate that follows sets out what each stage costs, what insurance is expected to cover, and what is left.
Does dental insurance cover implants?
Coverage for implants varies from plan to plan, which is why benefits are verified before your visit rather than after. Smile L.A. is in network with Delta Dental and accepts 17 more plans out of network, and the claim is filed for you. See the full list on our financing and insurance page.
