Dental Implant Treatment Costs What You Need to Know About Prices, Insurance, and Financing

Replacing a single tooth typically costs between $2,500 and $3,500 at our Fort Wayne practice. This is well below the U.S. average cost of $3,100 to $5,800 for a crown, implant, and abutment.

Of course, it will cost more to replace a large number of teeth, and since each patient has unique dental needs, no two treatment plans are priced exactly the same. During your initial consultation, your dentist will examine your smile and discuss your needs, goals, and budget to determine the total price of your care.

While dental implants and abutments are rarely covered by insurance, your restorations should be eligible for coverage. Harrison Dental Group accepts the Healthy Indiana Plan (2.0) and most PPO insurance plans. We are preferred providers for Delta Dental Premier, Physicians Health Plan, and United Concordia. A member of our team will gladly work with you to maximize your insurance coverage for implant treatment.

Our team in Fort Wayne wants dental care to be as accessible as possible, regardless of a patient's insurance or financial status. That's why we also accept financing through CareCredit® and Citi Health Care. You can cover the cost of your care in manageable payments made over time.

Which factors will affect your treatment costs?

Insurance Coverage

We work with multiple dental insurance providers to reduce or even eliminate certain out-of-pocket costs. Some dental insurance covers implants and abutments, but most do not. However, the restorations attached to the implants are most often covered entirely or in part by dental insurance.

Preparatory Treatments

If you require preparatory treatments such as periodontal therapy, a bone graft, or a sinus lift, this will increase the overall cost of your treatment plan. However, it is important to remember that your insurance may cover all or some of these treatment costs as well.

Treatment Plan

The number of implants as well as the type of restoration you and your dentist choose will also determine the overall cost. More implants mean more time and material. You will also need to factor in the type of restoration that will be attached to the implants, which can vary from a single crown to a full denture.

Before treatment begins, our team will provide a custom quote and make sure you understand how the total cost of your treatment is calculated. We'll be happy to help you verify your insurance coverage and explore financing options to keep costs low.

Dental Implants Are the #1 Tooth Loss Treatment

Dr. Evan Feichter explains how dental implants replace missing teeth for good. At Harrison Dental Group in Fort Wayne, our patients receive a detailed evaluation and custom treatment with cutting-edge technology. Implants offer comfort, convenience, and the ability to eat and smile confidently again.

Dental Implants: 3 Parts to Restore a Smile

Permanently restoring a missing tooth takes just three components: a dental implant, an abutment, and a custom restoration. Take a look at how they work together:

Dental Implants: These small prosthetic tooth roots are made of durable titanium. They are surgically anchored in the jaw, where they fuse to the bone tissue over the course of a few months. This is what makes them the most stable treatment option.
Abutments: Titanium connector pieces that secure restorations to dental implants. They use a screw mechanism to ensure the restorations never come loose when eating or speaking.
Restorations: These custom-made artificial teeth are the only part of the dental implant system visible above the gums. They're strong and shade-matched to blend with the rest of your smile.

Benefits of Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Advances in dentistry allow implants to provide a stable bite, making everyday functions feel natural and easy again. With proper home care and regular exams, your dental implants can last a lifetime, saving you both time and money in the long run. There are many benefits associated with dental implants:

Highly Recommended by Patients

“Always super friendly. They give me a full break down of information on what procedures I need as well as options and they talk to me about all my options instead of pressuring me into anything. They also listen to me about my pain and numbness concerns if im getting a procedure. I have never had such positive experiences with the dentist then I do going here. I wont go to different one again”

Do I Qualify for Dental Implants?

Wondering if implants are the right choice for you? The first step is to visit one of our Fort Wayne locations to speak with a dentist. During your initial consultation, we can use our advanced 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) machine to take detailed scans of your jaw and determine whether you can currently undergo implant placement. One of our doctors will also sit down with you to discuss your medical history, as well as your goals, needs, and budget.

Good candidates for dental implants:

Are in Good Oral and Overall Health
Have Sufficient Jawbone Density
Can Safely Undergo Implant Placement Surgery
Do Not Smoke or Are Willing to Quit

Certain conditions, such as gum disease and jawbone atrophy, can interfere with your ability to receive implants, but our team can provide treatment for these conditions, allowing you to experience the life-changing benefits of an implant-supported restoration.

A Look at Our Sedation Options How We Keep Dental Implant Patients Comfortable

Sedation is not required during dental implant surgery, and many patients are kept fully comfortable with local anesthesia alone, but sedation can provide that all-important peace of mind needed for pain-free and stress-free treatment if you deal with dental anxiety. Take a look at the options we offer:

Your Implant Treatment Timeline

The timeline for implant treatment can vary based on your unique dental needs. Factors that can affect the timeline include preparatory treatments, individual healing time, and the number of implants you need. Generally, restoring your smile with advanced procedures like dental implants takes several months to complete, but the end results are well worth it.

We stay up-to-date with the latest dental technologies like 3D surgical guides so we can plan treatments as accurately as possible.

“Just had the post inserted for the next step in my tooth implant. My dentist explains the process thoroughly and is very precise in what he is doing. I highly recommend!” — Cyndy, 5-Star Review

Consultation

At your initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your candidacy. If it looks like implants are right for you, they will take 3D scans to precisely plan your procedure. Your dentist will also determine whether you need preparatory treatments before implant placement, and which restorative option is best for you. We pride ourselves on customizing treatment to fit your budget.

Preparatory Dental Procedures

The first step is receiving any preparatory procedures, such as dental treatment for gum disease or grafts to replace lost bone tissue. Not all patients will require these preparatory treatments.

Surgery

Once you have healed from any preliminary treatments, one of our implant dentists can perform your implant placement at one of our Fort Wayne offices. During the procedure, they will make a small incision into your gum tissue and insert the implant posts into your jaw. We use surgical guides to help ensure accurate and quick placement of your implants. The procedure is relatively quick and patients can expect less post-operative pain than an extraction.

Final Restoration

It typically takes three to six months to heal from implant surgery. When you have fully healed, our dental team can attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture to your implants for a fully restored smile.

Each of our four Fort Wayne offices features professionals who are deeply experienced in restoring our patients' smiles with implants.

FAQ About Dental Implants in Fort Wayne, IN

Do implants hurt?

We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during implant placement. We also use advanced technology that makes treatment more comfortable and recovery faster. It's normal to experience some mild discomfort after implant surgery, but it's often easily managed with over-the-counter medications. However, your dentist can prescribe pain medication if you need it.

How long do implants last?

Implants are made from high-quality titanium and, with proper care, are designed to last a lifetime. The longevity of restorations varies based on the materials used, but most can last ten years or even longer. Our dentists will explain what you can expect during your consultation.

I am missing most of my teeth. Aren't traditional dentures a cheaper option than implants?

Traditional dentures are a great option for some patients. However, traditional dentures do not stimulate new bone growth in the jaw and can actually hasten the deterioration of the jawbone. Dental implants, which are prosthetic tooth roots, are the only restorative dentistry treatment that can stop the bone atrophy that occurs following tooth loss. While traditional dentures might be a cheaper option up front, investing in dental implants now can save you time and money later.
