The average cost for implant placement by a periodontist or an oral surgeon spans between $1,800 and $5,000 (2011). After that you have to consider the crown on top of the implant. The cost is approximately $1,700. So, we are talking about $3,500 per tooth. Anything less may be an indicator that you’re getting an inferior product or one not designed for a particular location in your mouth (with exception for mini-implants but not all dentists advice this type of implant).
Remember that this is not all done at once. The healing time after placing the implants is several months, then the crown came be placed. If you need to do the whole mouth there is a new procedure, where the teeth (tooth) are (is) extracted, implants are placed, and you leave with a full set of teeth in one day going under anesthesia. The restorative doctor and implant doctor work together, they place the implants first (only 4 per arch) and then the restorative dentist places a full roundhouse. The healing time is alot quicker and you achieve the final result much faster. It is about $30,000 per arch if you do it this way.
