Key takeaway
A single dental implant has three parts — the implant post, the abutment, and the crown — plus any grafting or imaging. At Pebble Beach Dental, the first implant is $579 with our new-patient special, and the free consultation includes a 3D CT scan and a written estimate for the full treatment.
The three parts of an implant quote
When you compare quotes, make sure you are comparing the same things. The implant itself is the titanium post placed in the bone. The abutment is the connector that sits on top of it. The crown is the visible tooth. Some offices advertise only the post; others bundle everything.
Imaging and planning matter too. Our free consultation includes an i-CAT 3D CT scan — something many practices charge for separately.
What makes cost go up or down
Every mouth is different. These factors have the biggest effect on your final number:
- Whether a tooth needs to be removed first
- Bone grafting or a sinus lift
- Crown material and the tooth’s position
- Sedation preference
- How many teeth are being replaced
Ways to make implants affordable
Our $579 first-implant special applies to new patients (first implant only; not valid with other offers or insurance). Many PPO plans now contribute to implants or crowns, and 0% financing through CareCredit or Allegro Credit can turn treatment into a manageable monthly payment.
The most expensive implant is often the one you wait on — bone loss over time can add grafting costs later.
