How much does a dental implant cost in Indianapolis?

At OSOI, a single dental implant is $3,100 for the surgical placement of the implant. The abutment and crown are placed and billed separately by your restorative (general) dentist. Your total to replace the tooth therefore depends on that office's crown fee. We detail the surgical portion in a written estimate.

Does insurance cover dental implants?

It depends on your plan. Some cover part of the surgery, some cover the crown, and some exclude implants but still help with a related extraction or bone graft. We verify your benefits and bill your carrier so there are no surprises.

Why is a dental implant more expensive than a bridge?

An implant replaces the root and the tooth, lasts far longer, and protects the jawbone, while a bridge relies on the neighboring teeth. Over time many patients find the implant the better value, which we explain in our implant versus bridge guide.

Does the price include the crown?

No. Our $3,100 fee covers the surgical placement of the implant only. The abutment and crown are placed and billed separately by your restorative (general) dentist. We always spell out exactly what is and is not included in your written estimate.

What if I need a bone graft first?

A bone graft, when needed, is a separate fee and may add a few months of healing before the implant is placed. We will tell you at your consultation whether grafting is needed and fold it into one clear estimate.

Can I finance dental implants?

Yes. We offer CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit so you can spread the cost over months, often with approval in minutes. You can compare the options on our cost and financing page.

Implant pricing can be confusing because the word implant sometimes means just the titanium post and sometimes means the whole tooth replacement. OSOI is the surgical practice that places the implant post; the abutment and crown that sit on top are made and billed separately by your restorative (general) dentist. Here we break the cost into its real parts and explain what insurance tends to cover.

Typical Indianapolis Range

$3,100 for surgical placement of one implant (the crown is billed separately by your dentist)

These are general estimates. Your price comes from a written quote.

What Affects Your Price

Several factors shape your implant estimate. Here is how each one affects the price:

Cost Factor	What It Means	Estimated Range
Number of implants	Replacing one tooth costs less than several. Multiple implants are often more efficient per tooth.	$3,100 per implant placed
Bone graft needed	If the jawbone has shrunk, a graft rebuilds the site so the implant has a stable foundation.	Separate fee, quoted by case
Abutment and crown	The connector and the final tooth that sits on top. At OSOI these are made and billed separately by your restorative (general) dentist.	Billed by your dentist
Sedation level	Local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, or IV sedation. IV sedation adds anesthesia time to the fee; the exact fee depends on the level of sedation.	$375 per 15-minute increment (30-minute minimum billed)
Imaging	A 3D CBCT scan to plan implant position around the nerve, sinus, and existing bone.	$300 to $400 for a CBCT scan
Insurance vs. cash	Some plans cover part of the implant or the crown. Cash-pay patients may qualify for a discount.	Varies by plan

Pricing reviewed July 2026. These are general Indianapolis estimates - your actual fee depends on case complexity, anesthesia time, and insurance. We provide a written estimate before any treatment.

What Insurance Typically Covers

Dental implant coverage varies widely. Some plans pay toward the surgical placement, some toward the crown, and some exclude implants entirely but cover a portion of an extraction or bone graft done along the way. We review your benefits before treatment and give you a clear, itemized estimate. See the plans we work with on our insurance page.
