Answers to common questions about the cost of dental implants
Many people searching for “dental implants near me in the West Hills area of Los Angeles, California” understandably want to know how much they cost. This is an important consideration; however, Dr. Roya Shoffet and our team also encourage you to consider other factors – not just the dental bill or out-of-pocket expenses.
How do you determine the total cost?
Dr. Shoffet evaluates your mouth. Factors such as the number and health of the remaining teeth contribute to the nature and type of treatment/appliance that is recommended. Treatments and appliances can vary considerably in cost. For instance, full arch implants to replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw generally cost more than implants or restorations to replace one tooth or a few teeth.

If you're missing teeth, you may be wondering how best to restore your smile. Dental implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement, and for good reason.
If you’re missing teeth, you may be wondering how best to restore your smile.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement, and for good reason.
Unlike traditional options, implants replace the tooth root, creating a stable, lasting foundation.
We place a titanium post into the jawbone, which naturally bonds with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
Once secure, we attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture—so your smile looks and feels natural.
You can eat your favorite foods with implants, speak clearly, and confidently smile.
Caring for implants is simple—just brush and floss like you would with your natural teeth.
Implants don’t affect nearby teeth and help maintain jaw integrity and facial structure.
Implants can be customized to fit your needs, whether missing one tooth or several.
Most healthy adults are candidates for implants. We’ll take X-rays or a CT scan to check your bone structure.

Do some full arch options cost more than others?
Yes. Appliances can be designed in a variety of different ways. There are varied systems and materials. Removable options that stabilize full-arch restorations or dentures largely cost less than their counterparts that are fixed in the jawbone. This latter alternative can only be removed by a dentist.
How much do dental implants cost per tooth?
A single-tooth implant costs an average of $4,000 to $6,000. Implants to replace a single tooth generally include the artificial tooth root itself (the implant), the abutment or connector piece that links the implant and the new tooth, and the restoration (dental crown). Costs may also be based on things like the location of the tooth, materials used, and additional procedures that are necessary for the success of your implant and to complete treatment.
Why would I need additional treatments?
Some of the most common “preparatory” procedures include bone grafting and tooth extractions. Many people turn to Dr. Shoffet when they are holding on to painful teeth. When these teeth are beyond repair, they will be precisely extracted and later replaced with implants. Additionally, those patients with long-standing gaps in their smile may have an insufficient amount of healthy bone left in that area of the jaw. It is essential for patients to have adequately dense and sufficient jawbone to support the implant. Dr. Shoffet may recommend building up that bone with procedures like bone grafting and sinus lift/augmentation.
