The complete cost breakdown
Dental implant cost in Brooklyn varies based on three things: (1) how many teeth you’re replacing, (2) whether you need bone grafting first, and (3) what type of crown goes on top. Here are honest 2026 prices at Eco Dental NY:
Single tooth implant
- Implant placement: $1,200-2,000
- Abutment + crown: $1,500-2,000
- Total: $1,800-3,500
Multiple teeth (2-4 implants)
- $1,500-2,800 per implant (slight bulk discount)
- $1,200-1,800 per crown
- Total 4 implants: $10,800-18,400
All-on-4 (full arch)
- 4 implants + fixed full-arch bridge per arch
- Total: $20,000-30,000 per arch
- Both arches: $35,000-55,000
What adds to the cost
Additional procedures often required, with realistic pricing:
- Bone graft (sinus lift or ridge augmentation): $300-3,000 depending on extent
- Tooth extraction (if implant replacing existing tooth): $200-700
- 3D CBCT imaging: $200-300 (often required for safe planning)
- Temporary teeth during healing: $300-1,500 depending on style
- Sedation (IV or oral conscious): $200-500
About 30-40% of implant patients need at least one of these additions. We always discuss the full picture during the free consultation — no surprises.
Insurance coverage realistically
Most insurance plans cover implants at 30-50% of the cost — up to their annual maximum (usually $1,000-2,000). That means even with insurance, expect to pay $1,200-2,500 out of pocket for a single implant.
- Aetna, Delta Dental, MetLife: typically 50% coverage, $1,500-2,500 annual max
- Cigna: 50% coverage on many plans
- BCBS: varies by employer plan; usually 50%
- UnitedHealthcare: 50% on most plans
- Medicaid (HealthFirst, Affinity, AmeriGroup, EmblemHealth, MetroPlus): typically does NOT cover implants except in rare medical-necessity cases
- 1199SEIU: often covers implants at 50-80% — among the best dental benefits
We verify your specific plan’s implant coverage during the consultation. Many patients are surprised — sometimes coverage is better than expected, sometimes worse.
Financing — making implants affordable
For most patients, the math works through one of these approaches:
- CareCredit 0% APR for 12-24 months. A $3,500 implant becomes $146-292 per month, no interest. Approval typically in minutes.
- Split treatment over 2 tax years. Place implant in December, place crown in January — uses two annual insurance maximums.
- FSA/HSA pre-tax dollars. Save 25-35% effective cost using pre-tax health savings.
- Implant + bridge hybrid for partial replacements. Sometimes 2 implants + a 4-tooth bridge is cheaper than 4 separate implants.
Frequently asked questions
Why are implants so expensive?
Each implant requires: titanium post (~$200-400 wholesale), 3D imaging, surgical placement skill, healing period (3-6 months), custom abutment, and custom crown. The fee covers all visits, the materials, and the surgical and prosthetic work. Quality matters — cheap implants from non-FDA-cleared brands cost less but fail more often.
Is a dental implant cheaper than a bridge?
Long-term yes. A 3-unit bridge costs $3,000-4,500 and lasts 10-15 years before replacement. An implant + crown costs $1,800-3,500 and lasts 20-30+ years. Implants also don’t require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth.
What about cheap implants overseas (Mexico, Eastern Europe)?
Real cost savings exist for All-on-4 cases (~50% cheaper). For single implants, savings are smaller and warranty issues become major. Anything goes wrong, you’re flying back. We see patients who had problems with overseas work — usually expensive to fix.
How long does an implant last?
The implant post itself: 20+ years (often lifetime). The crown on top: typically 10-15 years. Maintenance: regular cleanings, no smoking, no grinding without a night guard.
