What does each one replace?
- Dental bridge: replaces one or more missing teeth in a row. A replacement tooth is held in place by crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap.
- Single dental implant: replaces one missing tooth. A post goes into the jaw and a crown goes on top of it.
- Implant-supported dentures: replace a full set of teeth on a jaw. The denture attaches to implants instead of resting on the gums.
- All-on-4 and full-mouth dental implants: replace most or all of the teeth in a jaw or in the whole mouth, with a full set of teeth held by implants.
A bridge and an implant work differently. A bridge relies on the teeth beside the gap, which are shaped to hold crowns. An implant stands on its own in the jaw. That difference is one reason they are planned and priced differently, and a dentist can tell you which one fits your mouth.
Traditional removable dentures are another way to replace a full set of teeth. We don't have a Georgia range for them yet, so they aren't compared here.
What does each one cost in Georgia?
These are estimates from what Georgia dental practices publish, not quotes. We list them roughly from smallest job to largest.
- Dental bridge: about $2,500
- Single dental implant: $3,500 to $4,800+
- Implant-supported dentures: $7,550 to $14,000+
- All-on-4 dental implants: $19,000 to $25,000+
- Full-mouth dental implants: $36,000 to $42,300+
Don't read these as one price list for the same job. The first two fill a gap. The other three are aimed at replacing many or all of the teeth in a jaw, so they cost more because there is more to build. See what goes into an implant price and what goes into a crown or bridge price.
Why do two quotes for the same option differ?
- What is bundled in: some offices quote the implant post, the connector piece and the crown as one package. Others price each part on its own.
- How many teeth: a bridge that spans a wider gap and a denture that holds more teeth both cost more.
- Work first: pulling a tooth or bone grafting is usually quoted separately, and only a dentist can say whether you need it.
- Materials and lab: porcelain, zirconia and metal are priced differently, and so are the materials used for dentures.
- Who does the work: a general dentist and a specialist, such as an oral surgeon or a prosthodontist, may charge different fees.
- Scans and planning: some offices include X-rays, scans and surgical planning. Others bill them as separate lines.
- Sedation: it is often billed apart from the procedure.
Which one is right for you?
That is a question for a licensed dentist, who can look at your teeth, gums, jaw and health. We don't recommend one option over another. What we can say is that cost over time matters as much as the price today. Ask the dentist how long each option is expected to last, what upkeep it needs, and what happens if it has to be redone. Dental plans may pay part of some of these options and nothing toward others, so ask for a written estimate and check it with your plan before you decide. A plan's yearly limit can also change what you pay out of pocket, so ask how much of yours is left.
Questions to ask the dental office
- What exactly does this price include, and what is billed separately?
- Does it cover one tooth, one jaw or both?
- Are the implant post, the connector piece and the crown in one number?
- Do I need any work first, and what does it cost?
- Is sedation included?
- What will my insurance pay, and what will I owe?
- If you offer financing, does it add interest or fees?
- What do you do if the work has to be redone?
