Dental implants can feel like a mystery when you're just getting started. Prices vary wildly, and it's hard to know what’s fair—or what’s necessary.
Take Duncan, for example. He spent years living with one dental issue after another — needing root canals, extractions, broken teeth, and the suffering from the slow toll it took on his confidence.
“One of the worst decisions I made,” he said, “was not taking care of my teeth sooner.” After years of dental struggles (and thousands spent trying to fix them) Duncan finally found Nuvia. And when he saw his new smile just 24 hours after surgery, his only regret was waiting so long.
“What I would tell the old me”, he said “is why in the world did you wait so long?”
The real story behind dental implant costs. The price tag is only one part of the puzzle. What matters more is what you get for that money — because not all dental implants, providers, or outcomes are the same. A low number might seem like a win… until it ends in regret, more procedures, and even more money down the drain.
In this guide, we’ll break down the average cost of full mouth dental implants across the U.S. — and more importantly, we’ll show you why the numbers vary so much, and what to look for to make sure your investment actually lasts.

Factors that Impact Pricing:
The cost of dental implants depends on far more than just the implant itself. Here’s what typically goes into the final number:
- Experience of the Provider: Highly trained surgeons with years of experience may have different prices than a general dentist who lowers costs to drum up business.
When it comes to full mouth dental implants, the saying “you get what you pay for” …couldn’t be more true — because the wrong choice doesn’t just cost money… it could cost your health, your confidence, and years of your life stuck with problems that never get truly fixed.
- Case Complexity: Added complexity like needing bone grafts, sinus lifts, or zygomatic implants can increase costs.
- Materials Used: Titanium, zirconia, and other restoration materials vary in cost and durability. If you’re looking for something that will last, you don’t want to cut costs by choosing low-quality materials.
- Location: Dental prices differ based on regional costs of living and demand.
- Anesthesia & Sedation: IV sedation, or general anesthesia can change the final cost. If your provider outsources their anesthesia provider, these costs could potentially be higher as well. At Nuvia, anesthesia is handled in-house by experienced CRNAs who are part of your care team — so there are no unexpected third-party fees, and you can rest assured that you’ll be safe and comfortable during the procedure.
The truth is, if you shop only on price, you are risking paying way more down the road. A bad choice today could mean years of pain and even extra surgeries. Not to mention, costs are only going to go up over time. Looking for the cheapest option today could cost you much more tomorrow.
This is your health, your smile, and the rest of your life we’re talking about. Things like provider experience, anesthesia safety, material quality, and long-term success rates matter a lot.
A Nuvia smile has a 99.13% success rate — higher than what large-scale studies of other providers using traditional methods show (1) — because we refuse to cut corners where it counts.
Average Cost of Dental Implants By State
Before we dive in: Nuvia only provides full mouth dental implants, not single tooth procedures. If you want more information on what to expect when investing in permanent teeth in 24 hours at Nuvia, see the Dental Implant Cost Guide here.
Single Implant Cost:
Across the U.S., a single dental implant (including implant, abutment, and crown) typically costs between $3,500 and $5,000.
Full Mouth Dental Implant Cost
When you’ve got multiple failing or missing teeth, full mouth dental implants are often the smarter and more affordable solution in the long-run.
Instead of replacing each tooth with a separate implant, full arch restorations typically use just 4- 6 implants per arch to support a full set of permanent teeth.
So what makes full mouth dental implants “affordable”? Think about this:
A root canal and crown costs around $2,500. Do that on 10 teeth, and you’re already at $25,000—without a guarantee it’ll last.
And if you tried to replace every tooth with a single implant at $4,000 each? That’s $128,000.
Thankfully, full mouth dental implants don’t work like that.
You get a completely new, permanent smile—without 32 separate procedures. It’s a one and done solution to failing and missing teeth. And it’s efficient– instead of years of never-ending dentist visits, it’s all fixed in one procedure. At Nuvia, you can have the whole process done in 24 hours.
If you’ve ever assumed dental implants are only for the wealthy, you’re not alone. A lot of people feel that way—until they find out what’s actually possible.
One patient, V shared “I did think you had to be rich [to afford dental implants], and, you never know until you ask. So I went for that consultation, and I was very surprised…it was actually pretty reasonable considering all the work throughout your lifetime from this day forward of what needs to be done with your teeth.”
Full mouth dental implants are long-term. And for many people, implants can save them time, money, and years of frustration. So what could investing in a full-arch restoration look like? Here is a list of averages compiled from providers across the country:

How to Make Dental Implants Affordable
If you’re looking at these numbers and wondering, "How do people pay for this?"—you’re not alone.
The truth is, most people don’t just pull $30,000–$90,000 out of their pocket. And even though full mouth dental implants can be a life-changing investment, the cost can feel like a wall for many.
On a podcast one dental implant patient, Shaun said “You don't have to be rich. People say, ‘oh, Sean, you must be rich, you're a millionaire, your business is so successful, I'm sure you make a million dollars.’ No, guys. I make an average income. If it's a priority to you, you'll find a way to make it work – and it is obtainable.”
“You just have to be smart with your few extra bucks you get here and there.”
The good news is that for Shaun and other Nuvia patients: there are options. And most people don’t pay all at once.
Before we get into those, let’s start with what usually doesn’t help with the investment.
Patchwork Fixes Can End Up Costing More
What won’t help make a permanent smile more affordable in the long run? Chasing short-term fixes. We’ve talked to hundreds of patients who’ve spent years — and tens of thousands of dollars — on crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, partials, and dentures that never really solved the problem.
Each fix might feel like the cheaper option at the time… but it adds up fast. Worse, it often ends in more pain, more tooth loss, and eventually needing full mouth dental implants anyway — just with less bone, more complications, and a much higher price tag.
Getting it done right the first time may feel like a bigger investment up front, but for many, it actually saves them thousands in the long run — not to mention the emotional toll of years spent hiding their smile or avoiding the foods they love.
Insurance Won’t Cover It
Traditional dental insurance rarely covers dental implants at all. And when it does, it typically contributes just a small portion towards single implants, leaving you to cover the majority on your own. It is incredibly rare that a plan covers a portion of full mouth restorations.
So if you’ve been waiting years, hoping insurance would take care of it… you may be waiting until it’s too late.
Payment Plans Make the Impossible… Possible
Here’s what many people don’t realize:
92% of Nuvia patients use a payment plan to get their new smile.
And no—you don’t need perfect credit or $60,000 in the bank. What you need is a plan that works with your monthly budget.
That’s exactly what we help people figure out. Flexible financing options have opened the door for thousands of people to finally say “yes” to the life they’ve been waiting for.
*Actual NUVIA patient(s) who may have been compensated for sharing their story. Not all those who come in for a consultation are eligible for this treatment. Results may vary in individual cases.
Years after getting permanent teeth in 24 hours, Sharanna explains how financing made her new smile possible, “[I’m] not rich. But I just knew I had a sense of peace that this was for me… They had payment options available for me.”
Travel Might Be Worth It
Not every state has the same pricing. And not every dental provider offers the same process—or the same outcome.
If there’s no Nuvia near you, or if full mouth dental implants are priced sky-high in your area, traveling to a nearby Nuvia location may save you thousands. Many of our patients travel out of state for their procedure—and still come out ahead financially.

And remember: at Nuvia, your procedure is completed in 24 hours, so you’re not flying back and forth for weeks on end.
With dental costs rising each year — and dental problems only getting worse the longer you wait — there’s never been a better time to finally get a new smile. Start by taking the 60-second quiz to see if you may be a candidate for permanent teeth in just 24 hours.
