If you’ve looked into getting dental implants, you may have heard they are expensive. Or maybe you’ve seen an estimate and thought, “Whoa. That’s a lot.” You’re not alone.
The truth is, dental implants can seem expensive—especially when you're comparing them to quick, patchwork fixes like dentures, bridges, or another crown on a tooth that probably won’t last. But here’s what most people don’t realize:
It’s not just about what dental implants cost. It’s about what costs they prevent and what they give back to you. It’s about what you’re truly investing in—yourself.
Let’s Break It Down: Why Are Dental Implants So Expensive?
Dental implants involve more than just sticking a few fake teeth in your mouth and calling it a day. At least, not at Nuvia.
You’re paying for:
- A highly trained oral surgeon (not just a general dentist) who places your implants with surgical precision.
- A restorative dentist who designs your custom smile to look and feel like it was always yours.
- A CRNA who ensures your comfort and safety so you can sleep through the procedure without a thing.
- A permanent set of zirconia teeth, not some plastic temporary (“healing teeth”) you’ll have to wear for months.
- In-house lab work that gets your final set of teeth back to you in 24 hours. Not in what could be 10+ months.
That’s what makes your experience at Nuvia different—and what makes this a one-time, done-right investment.

How Much Do Dental Implants Actually Cost?
The cost of full mouth dental implants will depend on a few different factors. These include location, the experience of your provider, how complex your case is, etc.
It’s important to be wary of dentists who offer dental implants at extremely low prices as they could likely have little experience and are looking to get more business.
When it comes to something as important as your smile, you’ll want to make sure you have an expert taking care of you.
For details on payment plans, insurance questions, and tooth replacement pricing, see the dental implant cost guide.
The Cost of Doing Nothing… or Doing It the Old Way
Now, let’s talk about the real cost. The cost of:
- Another root canal on a tooth that’s already had two.
- A new partial denture every few years.
- Adjustments. Relines. Replacements. Creams. Adhesives.
- ER visits when your dental infections get out of hand.
- The emotional cost of hiding your smile or chewing only on one side.
All of that adds up. Fast.
What if you could skip all of that—and instead, walk out the day after surgery with a full set of permanent teeth that aren’t going anywhere?
It’s not just about teeth. It’s about eating again, smiling again, living again—without that constant voice in your head worrying about what might break or fall out next.
Can Dental Implants Actually Be Affordable?
Yes. Especially when you consider how much they could save you in the long run.
At Nuvia, most patients don’t pay the full amount upfront. In fact, 92% of patients get an affordable monthly payment plan—often between $250–$900/month, depending on your case.
That’s about what people spend on streaming services, takeout, or car payments… but this? This changes your life.
Here is how an actual dental implant patient felt about the cost and whether it was worth it or not.

This Is More Than Teeth. It’s an Investment in You.
If you’ve spent years putting yourself last—raising kids, caring for loved ones, managing a million responsibilities—it can feel strange to finally say, “I deserve this.”
But you do. You deserve to:
- Eat a meal without pain.
- Smile in photos without hesitating.
- Laugh without covering your mouth.
- Look in the mirror and feel like you again.
So yes, dental implants may seem expensive at first glance. But when you look at what they give you, and how long they last, the question shifts from “Why are they so expensive?” to “Why did I wait so long?”
