What Affects the Price?
Three parts that you pay for: Dental Implant Post, Abutment, and Crown
⚒️ Parts Used
A dental implant is basically a titanium post that permanently is in your jawbone. But not all dental implant posts are the same! There are literally hundreds of implant manufacturers worldwide. These come with important differences in quality. The cheaper the manufacturing process, the more affordable. Sometimes it is 3x or more less expensive to use a low-quality dental implant. But often, less expensive = more risk to the patient.
PRO TIP: Ask your dentist what brand of implant they use. BioHorizons, Astra, Nobel, Zimmer, and Straumann are considered excellent manufacturers. There are other reputable brands too, but that list gives you a start.
Teuscher Legacy Dental places Biohorizons implants almost exclusively.
👑 Type of Crown
Just like with implant posts, there’s a wide range in quality for the abutment (the piece that connects the implant post with the crown), and the final crown (the actual chewing tooth part). Custom abutments (as the name implies) are customized to your implant and crown. It is less expensive to use a ”stock abutment”, but doing that *may* compromise quality in various ways. Some offices make crowns in-house, others use an outside dental laboratory. The laboratory could be local, or literally in another country. There are also different crown materials, some softer, some better looking. All of these factors influence price.
PRO TIP: Ask your dentist what type of laboratory support he or she will use on your crown. Bonus: Ask what type of material your crown will be made of.
Teuscher Legacy Dental has several local labs we work with, and one other located in Seattle for our highest end esthetic cases. Almost always we are using tooth colored zirconia crowns with custom shading to best match natural tooth color.

🖥️ Technology Used
3D scans (CBCT imaging) and digital planning lead to better fit, healing, and long-term success. A 2D X-Ray is less expensive, but also doesn’t allow for the same precision in planning where the implant post will sit in your jawbone. Sometimes, a dentist will use the 3D scan to generate a surgical guide, which allows for even greater precision when surgically placing the post.
Immediate Implant or Implant Placement after healing
Sometimes, an implant can be placed at the same time a tooth is extracted. This is called an “immediate implant”. It is great because it often trims a few months from the total timeline. An immediate implant is not always possible- it depends on the tooth that is extracted, existing bone quality, proximity of nerves and sinus and a few other factors. For a full case study of an immediate dental implant Dr Brayden did for a St Charles patient, check the video below.

🧠 Expertise of the Dentist and Team
A trained implant dentist who handles both surgery and crown placement can save you time and prevent problems. Actually, if a dentist does both the surgery and the restoration, it likely will save you money, and possibly be more convenient for you to stay at one office. The quality of the surgical assistants also matters!
At Teuscher Legacy Dental, Dr Brayden Teuscher has advanced training and experience in both surgically placing and restoring dental implants.
🗳️ What’s Included
When you get a price estimate from the office, pay attention to all that is included. You should see fees that at least cover the CBCT planning, Implant post surgery, Abutment, and Crown. Sometimes, offices will include all these services in a single fee for less confusion. Other possible expenses would be an extraction and bone graft prior to implant placement, a surgical guide, or sedation during the surgery. Be aware of extra fees with dental implant treatment like what we listed above.
PRO TIP: Ask your dentist what extra fees there might be during the ENTIRE PROCESS, from extraction to final crown.
REAL PRICE RANGE: Total, including the post, abutment, and crown, dental implants usually cost $5,200 to $7,000 total per tooth in the Kane County, Illinois area.
What to Watch Out For
⚠️ Too-Good-To-Be-True Prices
Super low fees may leave out steps or use low-quality materials that can lead to implant failure. If something seems too-good-to-be-true, ask some of the Pro Tip questions above.
⚠️ Multiple Offices
Seeing multiple offices or providers isn’t always bad! In the Fox Valley there are many great dentists and surgeons! But usually seeing multiple means the quote one office gives does not include the quote for the other office. For example, an oral surgeon will quote the surgical fees, but not the final abutment or crown fees.
PRO TIP: If seeing multiple providers for your implant process, get all the fees from both offices before agreeing to treatment. Use the PRO TIP questions above at both offices.
⚠️ Generic Crowns and Abutments
Custom abutments and crowns mimic a natural tooth
A generic crown or abutment can be a big financial cost saver, but often comes with risk. For best outcomes, crowns should be custom-fit for your bite and smile. One-size-fits-all crowns and abutments can look off, wear down fast, and possibly cause other bite issues.
PRO TIP: In your quote, look for the word “Custom”. Usually you will see “Custom Abutment” as one item you are paying for. Or, just ask your dentist if they use custom abutments and crowns.
Ways to Save
🗓️ Schedule Treatment in Advance
Usually the implant process involves multiple steps scheduled months apart. So not all the payment will be due at one time. Plan months in advance either to save, or delay expense til later. For example, you may be able to wait a full year or more between getting the implant post surgery and paying for the actual crown.
PRO TIP: Ask how long you can go between steps in the process.
💳 Monthly Payment Plans
Most offices will offer flexible payment options. Sometimes with 0% interest.
PRO TIP: Even if you could pay cash up front, still ask about payment plan options. You also could ask about a cash discount, or a pay-in-full discount.
🏦 Use HSA or FSA
In addition to dental insurance benefits, many patients use HSA or FSA accounts to pay for dental implants for tax advantages. This alone could effectively reduce your total price substantially.
🏠 All-in-One Office
An office that does both the surgery and the restoration usually saves you money, but also time and the hassle of going to multiple offices.
