Every fee. In writing.
Flat fees. No tiering for "complex" cases. No surprise itemization at checkout. Below is the full menu and what a typical implant case actually costs.
Individual fees
Limited exam + pano
Focused exam, panoramic x-ray, written treatment plan. Waived if you stay for treatment the same day.
Extraction
Any tooth. Simple, surgical, or impacted thirds. Same flat fee.
Collagen plug
Required with every extraction. Helps the socket heal cleanly. Not optional.
Bone graft
Added when the socket needs it to preserve the site for an implant.
Implant placement
The surgical step. The fixture going into the bone. CBCT and surgical planning included. Stage 1 only.
Implant uncovery
3 to 6 months after placement. About 30 minutes. We expose the integrated implant and place a healing abutment. Your general dentist places the final crown.
Oral sedation
Optional Halcion (triazolam) for anxious patients. Add to any visit. How it works.
What a real case costs
$999 is the placement fee only. A single tooth implant case is the math below. CBCT is included. We show you this on day one. Nothing changes at checkout.
Single tooth implant, full case
| Extraction | $249 |
| Collagen plug (required) | $50 |
| Bone graft | $199 |
| Implant placement (CBCT scan included) | $999 |
| Subtotal, placement visit | $1,497 |
| Implant uncovery (3-6 mo later) | $149 |
| Our portion, to handoff | $1,646 |
Add $200 for oral sedation if you want it. The final crown is a separate visit at your general dentist, priced by them.
Implant only (tooth already gone)
If the tooth is already missing and the site has healed, you skip the extraction, plug, and graft. You only pay for the implant work.
| Implant placement (CBCT scan included) | $999 |
| Implant uncovery (3-6 mo later) | $149 |
| Our portion, to handoff | $1,148 |
No bone graft and no collagen plug needed when the site is already healed. If we find at consult that the bone is too thin for placement, we will tell you up front.
$45 limited exam + panoramic x-ray. Waived if you stay for treatment same day.
What is a CBCT?
CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography. It is a 3D x-ray that shows the bone, nerve, and sinus around your teeth. A scan takes about 20 seconds and uses a fraction of the radiation of a medical CT scan, comparable to a long-haul flight.
For implant work, a flat 2D x-ray is not enough. We need to know exactly how thick the bone is, where the inferior alveolar nerve runs, and how the sinus floor sits. The CBCT gives us all of that so we place the implant without surprises.
Most Bradenton practices charge $250 to $400 for a dental CBCT, often billed separately from the implant fee. We own the scanner and run it ourselves, so we include the scan, the planning, and the surgery in the $999 placement fee. If you need an implant, you need a CBCT. Charging extra for it would not make sense.
What's included
Every fee includes the chair time, local anesthesia, the procedure, sutures if needed, and your written post-op instructions. The implant fixture is a US-made implant from a major manufacturer. The fee is the fee whether your case takes 20 minutes or an hour.
What's not included
The crown that goes on top of the implant is not in our price. We do not do crowns. We do not do bridges, dentures, fillings, or cleanings. Your regular dentist or a prosthodontist makes and places the crown a few weeks after the uncovery visit. We send them a digital scan and all surgical records.
IV sedation and nitrous oxide are not offered. We do offer oral sedation, see the sedation page for details.
How to pay
Cash, debit, credit card. We accept CareCredit and Cherry financing for amounts over $500, which covers most implant cases. We do not bill insurance. You can submit your own claim to your insurer for reimbursement and we will give you the codes.
What it would cost elsewhere
A single tooth implant case at a typical Bradenton practice runs $4,000 to $6,000 all-in once the crown is bundled. Our portion is $1,646. You pay your general dentist separately for the crown. The combined number is almost always lower because our scope is narrower and our prices are published.
