More about Dental Implants and Their Costs.

While looking for denture implants , the cost factor plays quite an important role. The price of a new tooth implant varies with materials used and procedures carried out. While looking at the total cost of the implantation, the prices can be broken down into several parts.

• The initial surgery to place the implant screw into the jaw costs around $1650 to $3000.
• The abutment used to mount the crown costs between $300 and $500.
• The crown, which is the part of the implant that looks like the tooth costs around $1000 to $3000.

These are the costs of the total surgical procedure. All the costs without the additional procedures such as X-rays, CT scans, bone graft, etc. may sum up to $3000 as the lowest cost and $6500 for the highest cost.

A removable and cast metal framework partial upper denture cost lies around $935.00 for small rural towns to $1975 for large metropolitan cities.
