Texas offices that publish their own fee for one implant with its crown list $2,450 to $4,473, and most sit between $3,000 and $4,500. Insurers and discount-plan sellers put the national range at $3,000 to $6,000. CareCredit’s Texas average of $1,972 leaves out the crown, so it sits below every all-in fee. Below: who published which figure and when, what each part costs, and how Texans pay.

| Brident (Western Dental’s Texas brand) | Texas offices | Placement, abutment, crown | $4,473 retail | Offer to December 31, 2026 |
Red Bud Dental’s two pages disagree. Three figures are left out of the table on purpose: Best Dental in Richmond lists $1,995 all-inclusive while its own comparison table puts Houston at $4,500 to $7,500; Castle Dental’s Houston/Champions office advertises $1,295 without showing what it covers; and East El Paso Dentist’s $975 (December 2023) is for placement only. Texas Dental Implant Center and Naba Dental list the same Houston address and may be one practice.
City ranges restated by Texas practices
These pages restate a market range for the city; none is the office’s own fee.
| City | Restated range | Published by | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Houston | $3,000 to $6,000 | Renew Dental TX, Webster; Naba Dental | July 2026; 2026 |
| Dallas | $3,500 to $6,000 | Spring Valley Dental Associates | June 2026 |

National anchors
| Source | Single implant | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Delta Dental | $2,800 to $5,600 | Without benefits; 2022 data |
| MetLife | $3,000 to $6,000 | September 2025 |
| Guardian | $3,000 to $7,500 | January 2026 |
| Cigna | From about $3,000 | “can cost much more” |
| DentalPlans.com | $3,000 to $6,000 | May 2026 |
| Aspen Dental | $4,259 average; $3,158 to $6,533 | 2026 data |
| ClearChoice | $5,000 to $7,500 | 2025 data |
| CareCredit | $2,143 average; $1,646 to $4,157 | Excludes the crown |
Several sources disagree with themselves. Aspen’s cost page also shows $3,571 for savings-plan members and a second range of $2,859 to $4,597. CareCredit’s own cost list gives $4,344 per tooth for a standard implant without saying what it covers. Humana’s $856 to $2,122 comes from a pricing tool set to Orlando, Florida.
What each part costs
| Part | National range | Texas figures |
|---|---|---|
| Post (fixture) | $1,000 to $3,000 (MetLife) | From $2,100 (Innate); $1,394 to $2,041 (Covenant Dental, Fort Worth) |
| Abutment | $500 to $1,000 (MetLife) | $300 to $800, restated for Austin |
| Implant crown | $800 to $3,000 (MetLife) | $843 to $2,071 (Covenant); $1,199 (Simply Crowns) |
| Bone graft | $200 to $3,500 | $299 (Northwest); $500 (Best Dental); $650 socket graft (Omega); $450 to $900 per site (Red Bud) |
| Sinus lift | $2,022 average (CareCredit) | $1,000 to $2,500 crestal, $1,500 to $4,000 lateral window, Houston typical (Omega) |
| Extraction | $150 to $500, restated for Houston | $199 (Northwest); $142 to $373 (Covenant); $131 urgent at Texas A&M, with exam and x-ray |
CareCredit’s graft figures run from $558 for a socket graft to $2,161 to $5,148 for the patient’s own bone; its Texas average of $2,566 names no graft type and is high against its own national figures. Coast Dental, which has Texas offices, lists placement at $2,271 and implant crowns at $1,629 to $1,768 on a schedule titled 2025 but footnoted “Fees effective 01/01/19”.
Mini implants
DentalPlans.com (2024) and Sunbit (2025) price mini implants at $500 to $1,500 each. CareCredit’s average is $860 nationally and $797 in Texas, and it puts a lower denture on four to six minis at $3,498 to $8,386. The only Texas practice figure is Dr. Gregory Bowen’s in San Antonio: $2,800 to $5,000 for mini-implant denture stabilization, on a 2019 page.
What moves the price
- Grafting and extraction. Preferred Dental Center’s fee rises from $2,995 to $4,295 with both, and Omega’s comes to $4,550 with a socket graft.
- How the fee is quoted. A “from” price or a post-only fee looks lower than an all-in one: Innate’s $2,100 becomes $4,000 with the crown.
- Membership plans. Coast Dental lists placement at $1,260 for SmilePlus members; Aspen’s average falls to $3,571 with its savings plan.
- Crown material. Guardian puts the crown at $1,000 to $2,000 or more, by material.
How Texans pay
- Dental insurance. Plans that cover implants usually pay 50% after a 12-month wait, up to a cap: $1,000 a year on Humana Extend 2500, $2,000 lifetime on Cigna’s individual plans. See dental insurance and implants in Texas.
- Medicare. Original Medicare does not cover implants; some Medicare Advantage plans include capped dental.
- Texas Medicaid. General dental services are not a benefit for clients 21 and older. See Texas Medicaid and dental implants.
- Dental schools. UT Health San Antonio’s student clinic does implant surgery and restoration at about 60 percent below private practice. No school publishes a per-implant fee. See Texas dental schools.
- Financing. CareCredit defers interest for 6 to 24 months on $200 or more, then adds it back if unpaid; Proceed Finance lends $1,500 to $75,000 from 3.99 percent APR. See ways to pay less.

Frequently asked questions
How much does one dental implant cost in Texas?
Texas offices that publish a fee for an implant with its crown list $2,450 to $4,473. City ranges restated by Texas practices run $3,000 to $6,000. A graft or extraction is added on top.
Why is CareCredit’s Texas average so low?
CareCredit’s $1,972 Texas average and $2,143 national average leave out the crown. Its own cost list gives $4,344 per tooth for a standard implant, so the two figures measure different things.
Is the crown included in an implant quote?
Sometimes. Omega’s $3,900 and Northwest Family Dental’s $2,498 include it; Hearthstone’s $2,495 and Innate’s $2,100 do not. Ask whether the abutment, crown, graft and extraction are in the figure.
Does Texas Medicaid pay for implants for adults?
No. The Texas Medicaid provider manual says general dental services are not a benefit for clients 21 and older, and its emergency exception does not authorize restorations, dentures or bridges.
