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 |
The range reflects the complete treatment plan, not only the titanium implant. Your itemized quote separates the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, surgery, and any preparation your case needs.
What Your Implant Quote Should Show
- 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
- A CBCT scan, which produces a three-dimensional view of the jaw, and treatment planning
- 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 post is not a lower total.
Factors That Affect Your Implant Cost
Bone volume, grafting, and sinus augmentation
A CBCT scan shows the height and width of the available bone. If there is not enough support for an implant, your plan may include bone grafting. For some upper back teeth, sinus augmentation may be recommended to create enough room. These procedures add to the cost only when they are needed.
The extraction
If the failing tooth is still in place, it comes out first. Simple removals cost less than surgical ones; our tooth extraction cost guide breaks those numbers down.
Number of teeth
Each additional implant adds its own hardware and surgical time. At three or more missing teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge can replace several teeth on fewer implants. Missing most of an arch usually points to All-on-4 instead, which 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 offers financing through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and LendingClub. Approval, rates, and payment terms depend on the lender. The team can review available options after you receive your itemized 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.

- 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
After a tooth is lost, nearby teeth may shift and bone loss can occur. This does not mean every delayed case needs grafting. A CBCT scan shows the current bone and whether additional preparation would help.
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, whether grafting applies, and the condition of nearby teeth. Your written plan lists the implant, abutment, crown, and any preparation as separate items. If the plan changes, the team explains the additional care and fee before proceeding.
Call (323) 336-8478 to book the consultation. Bring your insurance card if you have one, and our team checks what your plan contributes.
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 and width 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.
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.
