ImplantCostDental Implant Cost Per Tooth — Post, Abutment & Crown
One complete dental implant typically costs $3,000–$6,000 per tooth in the US, split across the post, abutment and crown.
A quote for “an implant” sometimes means the post only. This page breaks the complete tooth into its three paid parts so you can spot a partial quote instantly.
| Component | What it is | Typical US range |
|---|---|---|
| Implant post (fixture) | Titanium screw placed in the jaw, plus surgery | $1,500–$2,500 |
| Abutment | Connector between post and crown | $500–$1,000 |
| Crown | The visible replacement tooth | $1,000–$2,500 |
| Complete single implant | All three parts | $3,000–$6,000 |

Adjacent teeth can sometimes share implants via a bridge, which can cost less than one implant per tooth — ask your dentist.
Why is the crown priced separately?
Answer first: The post is placed by a surgeon and the crown is often made by a different dentist and lab, so each part is billed separately.
That split is also why a low headline price can mislead: $1,500–$2,500 for the post still leaves the abutment and crown to pay for before you have a working tooth. Always compare complete-tooth totals.
