What Does a Dental Implant Actually Cost? (The Number Your Dentist Doesn’t Want You to Know)
A dental implant costs $2,999 for a single tooth — including the titanium post, abutment, and crown — at Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry in Boynton Beach, FL.
The Palm Beach County market range for the same three-component procedure runs $3,500 to $4,500.
The price gap between practices comes down to overhead, lab sourcing, and profit margin philosophy — not the implant itself.
Every dollar on your implant quote has a source — Dr. Michael Berglass, D.D.S., a fellowship-trained implant dentist with 25 years of experience, breaks down every line item for free at Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry. Call 561-736-1700.
A dental implant quote bundles three manufactured components and one surgical fee into a single price — and most practices present that price as one lump sum without showing patients what each part costs. The three components are the titanium post (surgically placed into the jawbone), the abutment (the connector between the post and the visible tooth), and the crown (the ceramic tooth fabricated to match the surrounding dentition).
Dr. Berglass structures the $2,999 single-tooth implant price at the practice as a complete surgical and restorative package — no component is billed separately after the procedure begins, and no fee appears in the final invoice that was not disclosed in the written treatment plan.
The table below breaks down what each component does and where pricing variability enters.
| Component | Function | Where Price Inflates |
| Titanium implant post | Anchors into the jawbone, replacing the tooth root | Brand markup — premium vs. economy systems |
| Abutment | Connects the post to the crown | Sometimes billed as a separate line item at $500–$1,000 |
| Crown (ceramic) | Visible tooth restoration | Domestic vs. offshore lab fabrication |
| Surgical placement fee | Covers the implant surgery itself | Facility fees, specialist referral charges |
| 3D cone beam CT scan | Maps jawbone density and nerve position | Often billed separately at $250–$500 |
Patients who receive a quote without this breakdown should request a written breakdown before scheduling. The CBCT scan alone accounts for $250 to $500 at practices that bill imaging separately from the implant package.

Six line items commonly appear on final implant invoices that were never mentioned during the initial consultation. Practices that present a lump-sum verbal estimate — rather than a written itemized quote — create the conditions for billing surprises after treatment begins.
The most frequent add-ons include a separate fee for the abutment (bundled at some practices, billed at $500–$1,000 at others), a bone grafting charge of $500 to $3,000 per site, a sinus lift fee of $1,500 to $3,000 per side for upper jaw implants, sedation charges, temporary restoration fees for the provisional crown worn during the healing period, and follow-up visit charges for post-surgical monitoring.
Dr. Berglass discloses every applicable fee — including bone grafting and sinus lift costs — in the written treatment plan at the free consultation appointment.
The Federal Trade Commission encourages consumers to request written price breakdowns for medical and dental services before authorizing treatment.
Patients who qualify under the same-day implant protocol — defined as patients with adequate bone density, healthy periodontal tissue, and no active infection — leave the office with a complete tooth in place and no separate provisional crown fee.
The practice publishes procedure-specific pricing and confirms every dollar in writing before treatment begins. The table below reflects verified pricing from the practice’s published cost page as of April 2026.
| Procedure | What Is Included | BICD Price | Palm Beach County Market Range |
| Single tooth implant | Titanium post, abutment, ceramic crown | $2,999 | $3,500–$4,500 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | Consultation, 3D CBCT, 4 posts, same-day provisional teeth | $2,999/arch | $12,000–$25,000/arch |
| Full-mouth restoration (both arches) | Consultation, 3D CBCT, 6–8 posts per arch, same-day provisional teeth | $5,998 | $20,000–$50,000 |
| Bone graft (if required) | Bone augmentation, surgical placement, post-op care | Confirmed in the written plan | $500–$3,000/site |
| Sinus lift (if required) | Maxillary sinus augmentation, healing protocol | Confirmed in the written plan | $1,500–$3,000/side |
The permanent prosthetic teeth — fabricated after Dr. Berglass confirms osseointegration at the 3- to 6-month follow-up — are billed as a separate restorative phase. Dr. Berglass discloses the complete two-phase cost in writing at the initial consultation.

A $999 dental implant advertised online typically covers the titanium post placement only — not the abutment, crown, bone grafting, or imaging. Patients who respond to that price discover the full treatment cost at $4,000 to $6,000 after all components are added.
The American Academy of Implant Dentistry recommends that patients ask their implant dentist to identify the specific implant system brand and cite its published 10-year clinical survival rate before consenting to placement.
Economy implant systems with limited published outcome data carry higher long-term complication rates than FDA-cleared systems from established manufacturers.
Dr. Berglass uses implant systems with documented, peer-reviewed research on osseointegration and discloses the manufacturer’s name to every patient at the consultation appointment.
Competitive pricing differs from cheap pricing. The practice prices a single implant at $2,999 — $501 to $1,501 below the Palm Beach County market range, while using the same premium implant systems that competing practices charge $4,500 for.
The difference is in overhead and margin philosophy, not component quality.

Read every treatment plan as five separate charges, not one number. The five cost categories are: surgical placement (the implant post), restorative components (abutment and crown), preparatory procedures (bone grafting, tooth extraction, sinus lift), diagnostic imaging (CBCT scan, panoramic X-ray), and ancillary fees (sedation, temporary prosthetics, follow-up visits).
The Florida Department of Health licenses all practicing dentists under the same clinical standards, but no state regulation requires practices to present itemized pricing. Patients must request the breakdown themselves.
Three questions immediately expose inflated quotes: “Is the abutment included or billed separately?” “Does this quote include the bone graft, or is that additional?” “What is the total for all phases — surgical and restorative — in writing?” Dr. Berglass answers all three at the free consultation and documents the total in a written plan before treatment begins.
Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry offers two payment structures that reduce the upfront burden of implant treatment. CareCredit financing through Synchrony Bank provides qualified applicants with 6-month and 12-month deferred-interest plans.
A $5,998 full-mouth restoration financed on a 12-month zero-interest plan equals approximately $499.83 per month.
The in-office savings plan starts at $375/year and includes two free cleanings plus 20% off all dental work — including implant procedures. Patients without dental insurance save on both the implant itself and ongoing preventive care, without having to navigate insurance claim denials.
Most Florida dental insurance plans classify implant surgery as non-essential and deny reimbursement for the placement procedure.
The Florida Department of Financial Services addresses policyholder coverage disputes for patients whose plans deny implant candidacy claims.
Why do dental implant prices vary so much between practices?
Dental implant prices vary because each practice sets fees based on overhead costs, lab sourcing, implant system brand, and profit margin. No Florida regulation requires standardized dental pricing. Two dentists in Boynton Beach can charge $2,999 and $4,500 for the same single-tooth implant using identical components.
Does the $2,999 implant price include the crown?
The $2,999 single-tooth implant price at Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry includes titanium post placement, a ceramic abutment, and a crown restoration in one package. No component is billed separately after surgery begins. The written treatment plan confirms every included item.
How much does a bone graft add to implant cost?
Bone grafting in Palm Beach County costs $500 to $3,000 per surgical site at most dental practices. Dr. Berglass confirms the bone graft fee in the written treatment plan at the free consultation appointment. Patients with insufficient jawbone density require grafting before implant placement can proceed.
What does “All-on-4 at $2,999 per arch” actually include?
The $ 2,999-per-arch All-on-4 price at the practice includes the consultation, 3D cone-beam CT imaging, four titanium implant posts, and same-day provisional teeth. The permanent prosthetic arch is billed as a separate restorative phase after confirmation of osseointegration at three to six months.
Are cheap dental implants safe?
Economy dental implants that use unverified offshore components have higher failure and complication rates than implants from FDA-cleared manufacturers with published 10-year survival data. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry recommends that patients ask their dentist to name the implant system brand and cite its clinical survival rate.
Does insurance cover dental implants in Florida?
Most Florida dental insurance plans classify implant placement surgery as non-essential and deny reimbursement. Some plans reimburse for related procedures such as tooth extraction, bone grafting, and diagnostic imaging. The in-office savings plan at $375/year provides 20% off all dental work for uninsured patients.
How do I know if my implant quote is too high?
Compare the quote against published pricing from practices that publicly disclose fees. A single implant above $4,500 in Palm Beach County exceeds the local market range. Request a written itemized breakdown and bring the quote to a practice that offers free second opinion consultations.
Can I finance dental implants with no interest?
CareCredit financing through Synchrony Bank at the practice offers qualified applicants 6-month and 12-month deferred-interest plans. Balances paid in full within the promotional period incur zero interest. Balances remaining after the promotional period accrue retroactive interest at the standard purchase rate.
What is the total cost for full-mouth implants?
Full-mouth implant restoration at Boynton Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry costs $5,998 for both arches, compared to a Palm Beach County market range of $20,000 to $50,000. The price includes consultation, 3D imaging, six to eight posts per arch, and same-day provisional teeth.
Should I get a second opinion on my implant quote?
Any implant quote above $3,500 per tooth or $15,000 per arch warrants a second evaluation. Dr. Berglass reviews competing treatment plans line by line at no charge and provides a written alternative quote at the same appointment. No deposit or commitment is required for the consultation.
