In Anchorage, dental implants typically cost between $3,000 and $5,000 for a single tooth, around $10,000–$15,000 for snap-in dentures, and about $20,000–$25,000 per arch for All-on-4 full-arch implants. A full mouth restoration can run close to $45,000.
Those are big numbers—and they can shift depending on things like bone grafting, sedation, and the type of materials used. At btyDENTAL, we guide you through each step of the process, helping you understand what’s included and what affects the price.
That way, you can make informed decisions and set realistic expectations from day one. Let’s take a closer look at what goes into these costs—and how to plan for them.
Treatment Type | Estimated Cost | What’s Typically Included |
Single-tooth implant | $3,000 – $5,000 | Implant post, abutment, and crown |
Snap-in denture (2 implants) | ~$10,000 | 2 implants + removable lower denture |
Snap-in denture (4 implants) | ~$15,000 | 4 implants + upper or lower removable denture |
Snap-in dentures (both arches) | ~$30,000 | 8 implants (4 per arch) + 2 removable dentures |
All-on-4 (one arch) | $20,000 – $25,000 | 4 implants + fixed temporary and final zirconia bridge |
All-on-4 (full mouth) | ~$45,000 | 8 implants + fixed upper and lower bridges |
Note: These estimates reflect averages in Anchorage and may vary depending on your case. Factors like bone grafts, imaging, and sedation can add to the total. At btyDENTAL, we walk you through every cost so you know exactly what to expect.
Not all implant treatments cost the same—even for the same number of teeth. Several factors can influence how much you'll pay, especially here in Anchorage where dental care combines advanced technology with regional operating costs. Here’s what affects the total price:
Number of Implants Needed: More implants = higher cost. Replacing one tooth is much more affordable than restoring a full arch or your entire mouth.
Bone Grafting or Sinus Lifts: If your jawbone isn’t strong or thick enough, a graft may be necessary before implant placement.
Bone grafts: $500 – $4,000
Sinus lifts (upper jaw): ~ $3,600 per side
Tooth Extractions: If teeth need to be removed first, that’s an added cost.
Simple extractions: ~$300–$500
Surgical extractions or molars: ~$800–$1,000+
Imaging and Treatment Planning: Advanced imaging like a cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan is standard for implants.
CBCT scan: ~$600–$700
Panoramic X-rays and consults: ~$250–$450
Sedation or Anesthesia: You can get implants under local anesthetic, but many patients choose IV sedation for comfort.
IV sedation: ~$325+ for the first 15 minutes, plus ~$300 per additional 15 mins
Type of Restoration: An acrylic denture is cheaper than a zirconia bridge, but may wear down over time. Materials affect both price and durability.
Provider’s Experience: Highly trained implant dentists or oral surgeons may charge more—but they often reduce risk and improve long-term results.
Dental implants can be a big investment—and naturally, most patients want to know how much their insurance will actually help. While some plans may offer partial coverage, the truth is that many implant-related costs fall outside standard dental insurance benefits.
Below, we’ll break down how both dental and medical insurance apply, what they typically cover, and how to get the most value out of your plan.
Most dental plans consider implants a “major” or elective procedure, and typically only cover a portion of the cost—often around 50%, and only up to your annual benefit limit. Coverage is usually limited to certain parts of the treatment, like the crown or abutment.
The implant post itself may not be included. Most plans also cap total benefits at $1,000 to $2,000 per year, and some include waiting periods or lifetime limits for major procedures.
Medical insurance rarely covers dental implants unless they’re deemed medically necessary—for example, in cases involving trauma or a congenital condition. Standard tooth loss or cosmetic upgrades won’t qualify.
In reality, even if you have coverage, most patients end up paying the bulk of their implant costs out-of-pocket. Some insurance companies apply an “alternate benefit clause,” meaning they’ll reimburse only what they would have paid for a bridge or denture, even if you choose an implant.
There are still ways to get the most out of your benefits. Submitting a pre-authorization request before treatment can clarify what your plan will cover. If your claim is denied but you have a medical reason, your dentist may be able to help you appeal with supporting documentation.
You can also use tax-free funds from a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to help with out-of-pocket costs. And if your treatment is staged over time, you may be able to apply benefits from more than one plan year to maximize coverage.
At btyDENTAL, we’ll walk you through all of this—checking your eligibility, explaining your options, and making sure you’re informed before you commit to care.
Even with insurance, dental implants can be a big financial commitment. That’s why many choose to spread out the cost through flexible financing. Whether you’re covering a single implant or a full-mouth restoration, there are several ways to make treatment more manageable.
At btyDENTAL, we’ll walk you through all available payment options, from interest-free short-term plans to extend monthly financing, so you can move forward with care that fits your goals and your budget.
Most patients choose to finance their implants through third-party providers like CareCredit, LendingClub, Proceed Finance, or Sunbit. These platforms allow you to break up the total cost into manageable monthly payments. Some offer 0% interest for 6 to 12 months, while others provide longer terms up to 72–96 months with low fixed interest rates.
Sunbit is popular for its high approval rate, making it a good option if your credit score is moderate. Proceed Finance is often used for full-mouth implant cases thanks to its extended repayment plans.
Some dental practices may offer in-house financing, letting you pay in installments directly to the office. While terms vary, this can be helpful for patients who don’t want to go through a third-party lender. Ask your dental team if this is available.
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you can typically use those pre-tax funds to pay for dental implant treatment. This is a great way to reduce your total out-of-pocket cost.
Implant treatment often happens over several months, which means you don’t have to pay for everything at once. Many split up the treatment timeline or schedule procedures across two insurance years, especially if they’re working with annual maximums or limited budgets.
Dental implants are a long-term investment—but there are smart ways to reduce upfront costs and make your treatment more budget-friendly.
Before starting, request a breakdown of all fees. This helps you understand what’s included (and what’s not), so you’re not caught off guard by surprise charges like imaging, sedation, or lab fees.
Even if your plan doesn’t cover the full procedure, it may pay for portions like X-rays, extractions, or the crown. If possible, stagger your treatment over two calendar years to use multiple annual maximums.
Look into both short-term and long-term financing. Zero-interest promotions can make a big difference for single implants, while extended plans help with full-arch cases. Many patients qualify for CareCredit, Proceed Finance, or Sunbit, which offer flexible monthly payments.
If a full-mouth restoration isn’t realistic right now, talk to your provider about staging the treatment. You may be able to start with one arch or a few implants, then build from there over time.
For those seeking full-mouth replacement at a lower price point, snap-in dentures are a great middle-ground. They’re more affordable than fixed bridges but far more secure than traditional dentures.
