How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Los Angeles?
August 22, 2026
A single dental implant replaces a missing tooth with three parts: an implant in the jaw, a connector called an abutment, and a crown. At Wilshire Smile Studio, single-tooth implant treatment ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 per tooth. Your exact cost depends on the parts your case requires, including imaging, extraction, bone grafting, crown material, or sedation.
| Treatment | Confirmed Price at Wilshire Smile Studio |
|---|---|
| Single dental implant | $1,500 – $4,500 per tooth |
| All-on-4 full-arch implants | From $15,000 per arch |
| Locator-supported removable denture | From $5,000 per arch |
| Traditional full denture | From $1,000 per arch |
The range reflects the complete treatment plan, not only the titanium implant. Your itemized estimate separates diagnostic imaging and planning, surgical treatment, the implant, abutment, final crown, follow-up care, and any additional preparation your case requires.
What Your Implant Quote Should Show
- A CBCT scan, which produces a three-dimensional view of the jaw, and treatment planning
- The implant itself, placed by our oral surgeon, Dr. Nariman Saadat
- The abutment, the connector between implant and crown
- The custom crown, matched to your surrounding teeth
- Follow-up visits through the end of treatment
Your quote lists each of these as its own line. When you compare offices, compare full itemized quotes; a low advertised price that covers only the titanium implant itself is not a lower total.
Factors That Affect Your Implant Cost
Bone volume, grafting, and sinus augmentation
A CBCT 3D scan allows the oral surgeon to evaluate the height, width, and overall quality of the available bone. If the area needs more support, bone grafting or, for some upper back teeth, sinus augmentation may be recommended. These procedures are not required for every patient and add to the cost only when clinically necessary. If needed, they are listed separately in your estimate.
The extraction
If a failing tooth is still in place, it must be removed before implant placement. Simple extractions typically cost less than surgical extractions; our tooth extraction cost guide explains those costs.
Number of teeth
Each additional implant adds surgical time, implant components, and restorative materials, which can increase the total cost. When three or more teeth are missing in a row, an implant-supported bridge may replace several teeth with fewer implants. If most or all teeth in an arch are missing, All-on-4 may be more appropriate and is priced per arch.
Crown material and sedation
Crown materials differ in cost and appearance, and the sedation you choose for surgery affects the total as well.
Does Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
Most plans classify implants as major care. Some contribute to the crown, the extraction, or imaging rather than the implant itself. Our team verifies your benefits, and anything your plan covers shows up in your quote. More on the plans we work with is on our insurance and payment page.
Financing and Monthly Payment Options
Wilshire Smile Studio accepts cash, personal checks, and major credit or debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. Eligible patients may also use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds for qualifying dental expenses.
Financing is available through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and LendingClub. Approval, rates, and payment terms depend on the lender. Our team can review available options after you receive your written treatment plan.
Implants vs. the Alternatives
Dental bridges
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by relying on neighboring teeth for support. Those teeth may need to be reshaped, depending on the design. A bridge can cost less upfront and does not require implant surgery. See our crowns and bridges page.
Partial dentures
A removable partial denture often has a lower up-front cost. It comes out at night, can move when eating, and needs periodic adjustment as the jaw changes.
Why implants cost more
Implants cost more upfront because treatment includes surgery and several components. They do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and can function more like a natural tooth. The right choice depends on your oral health, budget, and treatment goals.
Why Choose Wilshire Smile Studio for Implants?
- Surgery and restoration under one roof: Dr. Nariman Saadat places the implant, and your crown is finished in the same office.
- CBCT imaging and coordinated surgical and restorative planning in one office.
- A written, itemized quote at your consultation. If your clinical needs change, the team explains any additional care and cost before proceeding.
- CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and LendingClub financing options, subject to lender approval.
The treatment itself, candidacy, and the timeline are covered on our dental implants page.
The Cost of Waiting
When a tooth is missing, nearby teeth can shift and bone volume can decrease over time. Treatment timelines vary, and waiting does not automatically mean you will need a graft. An exam and CBCT scan show the current bone and help you review your options without pressure to begin treatment.
How Your Exact Price Gets Set
Every implant quote at Wilshire Smile Studio starts with a consultation and CBCT imaging. The scan shows the available bone and whether grafting or sinus augmentation may apply. Your written plan lists imaging, surgery, the implant, abutment, crown, and any clinically necessary preparation as separate items. If the plan changes, the team explains the additional care and fee before proceeding.

FAQs
Per tooth when one implant replaces one tooth. For several missing teeth, the number of implants may differ because an implant-supported bridge can replace more than one tooth. Your written plan shows the recommended number and fee. Patients missing most or all of an arch may be better suited to All-on-4.
Your written quote at Wilshire Smile Studio itemizes each part of the treatment: the implant, the connector piece called an abutment, and the visible crown. That lets you see what the estimate includes before treatment begins.
Many plans treat implants as a major procedure and cover parts of the treatment, such as the extraction or the crown, rather than the whole thing. We verify your benefits and fold them into your estimate before any work begins.
The spread comes from what each quote includes. Bone grafting, the extraction, the abutment, and the crown are sometimes quoted separately, which makes a low headline number grow later. Compare itemized quotes, not starting prices.
Yes. Wilshire Smile Studio offers financing through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and LendingClub. Approval and terms depend on the lender. You receive an itemized treatment plan before deciding.
Not everyone needs a graft. A CBCT 3D scan shows the height, width, and overall quality of the available bone. If there is not enough support for an implant, your plan may include grafting or, for some upper back teeth, sinus augmentation. Any additional procedure is listed separately in your estimate.
Dr. Nariman Saadat, the practice’s oral surgeon, performs the implant surgery. The crown and restorative work happen in the same office, so you aren’t referred between clinics.
Conclusion
Single-tooth dental implant treatment at Wilshire Smile Studio ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 per tooth. Imaging, extraction, grafting, crown material, and sedation determine where your case falls within that range. Call (323) 336-8478 to schedule a consultation and receive an itemized plan.
