If you are weighing what dental implants cost in Phoenix, you have probably seen quotes from $3,000 to $5,000 for a single tooth and wondered what that number actually buys. This guide breaks down what dental implants really cost here in 2026, what pushes the price up or down, how insurance and financing fit in, and how Diamondback Dentistry's $2,875 single-tooth package compares. No sales pitch, just the numbers and what to ask before you commit.
This article is for general information and is not a substitute for dental advice. Prices vary by individual case; request a consultation for an exact estimate.
Dental Implants Cost in Phoenix
Dental implants cost $3,000 to $5,000 per tooth in Phoenix, including the crown. At Diamondback Dentistry in North Phoenix, the single-tooth implant package is priced at $2,875, below the local average. Final inclusions are confirmed at your consultation with Dr. Pouria Owtad. Call (602) 866-8183 to book.
The $2,875 package covers a single tooth implant treatment from root to crown, so the price you see is the price for the whole tooth, not just the post. Most other implant types, such as full-arch options, are quoted after a consultation and a 3D scan, since the number of implants drives the cost.
What Dental Implants Cost in Phoenix
A single dental implant in Phoenix typically costs $3,000 to $5,000, including the crown. The price covers three parts: the titanium post, the abutment that connects it, and the final restoration on top. Per the American Dental Association, a dental implant is a small post, usually titanium, placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth.
Diamondback Dentistry's single-tooth package is $2,875, which sits below that local range. To see how the parts fit together from surgery to the final crown, read how dental implants work.
Cost by Implant Type
The biggest swing in price is what you are replacing: one tooth, or a whole arch. A single implant has a set package price, while full-arch treatment is quoted after a consultation and a 3D scan.
Single Tooth Implant Cost
A single tooth implant is the most predictable on price, because it is one post, one abutment, and one crown. This is the treatment behind the $2,875 package, and it is the right fit when you are replacing one tooth and the neighboring teeth are healthy.
All-on-4 Implant Cost
When most or all of an arch is missing, four implants can support a fixed set of teeth. Because the number of implants, the materials, and any extractions vary by case, All-on-4 dental implants are quoted after an exam rather than sold at a flat price. The cost is higher than a single implant but lower than replacing each tooth individually.
Full-Mouth and Same-Day Implant Cost
Restoring both arches, or both arches in one visit, sits at the top of the range. Full-mouth dental implants and same-day options depend heavily on your bone, the number of implants, and the final teeth, so a personalized quote after a 3D scan is the only accurate number.
Cost by Implant Material
Implant posts are usually titanium, the material with the longest clinical track record. Some patients ask about zirconia, a metal-free ceramic option that can cost more and is not right for every case. The crown on top also affects price. A porcelain or ceramic crown in Phoenix runs about $1,200 to $1,500 on its own, which is part of why a finished implant costs more than a bare post. Your dentist recommends the material that fits your bite, your gum line, and your budget.
What Affects Dental Implant Cost
Dental implant cost in Phoenix is driven by four main factors: your bone health, the number of implants, the materials used, and any preparatory work such as a bone graft. At Diamondback Dentistry, a 3D scan at your consultation shows which of these apply, so your $2,875 single-implant price can rise for more complex cases.
Bone Health, Bone Grafts, and Sinus Lifts
The single biggest cost variable is whether you have enough healthy bone to hold an implant. If bone has shrunk after a tooth has been missing for a while, you may need a bone graft to rebuild the site, or a sinus lift in the upper jaw. These add to the total, usually a few hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on how much is needed. If you have been told you lack bone, our guide to implant options with bone loss explains the paths forward.
Number of Implants and Restoration Type
One implant replaces one tooth. Replacing several teeth can sometimes use a bridge supported by two implants rather than one implant per tooth, which controls cost. A full arch does not need a separate implant for every tooth. The more implants and the larger the restoration, the higher the price.
Materials, Imaging, and Provider Experience
Two visits to two practices can produce two different quotes for the same mouth. Planning tools matter: a 3D cone-beam scan lets the dentist place an implant precisely, which protects nerves and sinuses and reduces surprises. Experience matters too. Dr. Pouria Owtad plans each case from that scan and reviews the treatment plan with you before any work begins. Ask any provider what their quote includes, because a low number sometimes leaves out the abutment or the crown.
Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
Dental insurance covers implants on a plan-by-plan basis, typically 0 to 50 percent of the cost, often less than it covers for a bridge. We verify your benefits before any treatment, so you know your share up front.
In-network PPO plans
Financing
We file insurance claims for the plans we accept and for out-of-network plans. For patients whose coverage does not include implants, we offer cash pricing and monthly payment options. Ask the front desk about current membership terms.
What Insurance Typically Covers
Most PPO dental plans cap what they pay each year. Per the National Association of Dental Plans, typical annual maximums run $1,000 to $1,500, which rarely covers a full implant on its own. Our list of the dental insurance plans we accept shows the carriers we are in network with, including Delta Dental and Cigna. AHCCCS patients are seen through UnitedHealthcare's APIPA plan; direct AHCCCS and DeltaCare USA are not accepted.
Financing and Payment Options for Implants
If insurance does not cover the full cost, you have ways to spread it out. We walk through every option at the consultation, so the number is never a surprise. For a closer look at monthly options, see our guide to dental implant financing in Phoenix.
Third-Party Healthcare Financing
Many patients pay over time through third-party healthcare financing, which splits the cost into fixed monthly payments, sometimes with interest-free promotional periods for those who qualify. Our front desk can point you to the options we work with and help you apply.
In-House Savings, Cash Pay, and the New Patient Special
For patients without dental insurance, we offer cash pricing and an in-house membership. The $19 new patient special covers a comprehensive exam and X-rays, a low-cost way to start the conversation and get a precise quote. Ask the front desk about current membership terms and what they include.
What's Included in the Implant Package
-
Consultation and 3D Scan
We review your health history and take a 3D cone-beam scan to map your bone and plan the implant. You get the treatment plan and the price before any work begins.
-
Implant Placement
The dentist places the titanium post in the jawbone during a single appointment, using local anesthesia for comfort. Sedation options can be discussed at the consultation.
-
Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the bone fuses to the implant. This healing is what gives an implant its long-term stability.
-
Final Restoration
Once the implant has integrated, we attach the abutment and the custom crown, matched to your natural teeth. The crown is included in the package price.
Every step above is part of the $2,875 single-tooth package, with the final restoration included, so the price is for the finished tooth rather than the surgery alone. If you are still weighing your options, our comparison of dental implants vs bridges looks at cost and longevity side by side.
Is the Cost Worth It? Implants vs. Bridges and Dentures
Dentures and bridges usually cost less up front than an implant. The long-term math often runs the other way. A bridge typically needs replacement every 10 to 15 years and requires grinding down the healthy teeth on either side, while an implant stands on its own and helps preserve the jawbone.
Durability is the reason many patients choose implants. Per a 2016 systematic review in the European Journal of Oral Implantology, single-tooth implants have a 10-year survival rate of about 95 percent. Results vary based on bone health, home care, and regular checkups, so an implant is a commitment to maintenance as much as a purchase. Not sure if you qualify? Take two minutes to check whether you are a candidate for dental implants.
