Where these numbers come from
- Per-tooth range sums MetLife’s component ranges: post $1,000–3,000, abutment $500–1,000, crown $800–3,000.
- Typical uses component midpoints ($4,000 per tooth), which matches the $4,000 national median in a 2025 Dental Economics fee analysis.
- Delta Dental puts a single implant without dental benefits at $2,800–5,600.
- The full-arch range ($14,000–36,000 per arch) is ClearChoice’s own 2025 internal data: a provider figure, not an independent survey.
What changes the price
- Number of implants and whether a bridge or full arch replaces several teeth
- Bone grafting, sinus lift or extractions before placement
- Crown material (porcelain, zirconia) and lab fees
- General dentist vs specialist (the Dental Economics study found specialists’ median lower: $3,400 vs $4,800)
- Dental plans often cap annual benefits, so coverage of large cases is limited
Insurance, HSA and paying over time
Usually eligible when treating dental disease (IRS Pub. 502); purely cosmetic work is not. See the insurance & HSA guide and the payment calculator. Promotional “no interest if paid in full” healthcare cards charge the deferred interest from day one if the balance is not cleared in time.
