If you are missing a tooth (or a few) and considering dental implants, one of the first questions is almost always: how much will this cost? It is a fair question, and an important one. At White Pine Dental in Port Moody, we believe in clear, upfront conversations about cost — so here is an honest look at what goes into dental implant pricing in BC.
Why dental implants are worth considering
A dental implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth. Unlike a bridge, it does not rely on neighbouring teeth, and unlike a denture it will not slip. It also preserves the jawbone, which helps protect your facial structure and remaining teeth over time.
What affects the cost
how many teeth you are replacing; whether you need bone grafting or a sinus lift; the type of restoration on top (single crown, bridge, or full arch); imaging and planning (3D scans); and the materials used.
General price ranges
As a rough guide, a single dental implant in BC — including the implant, abutment, and crown — commonly falls in the range of a few thousand dollars, and goes up from there with grafting or multiple teeth. These are ballpark figures only; the fairest way to know your cost is a personalized assessment.
Does insurance or the CDCP help?
Many extended dental plans contribute toward implants, and coverage varies by provider. We offer direct billing and will gladly verify your exact benefits before you commit — including under the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
