A transparent breakdown of dental implant pricing in Ohio, including single implants, All-on-4 restorations, and affordable financing options.
If you are considering dental implants to replace missing teeth, one of the first questions you probably have is about cost. Dental implant pricing can vary significantly depending on the type of implant, the number of teeth being replaced, the complexity of your case, and the provider you choose. At Westar Dental in Westerville, OH, we believe in transparent pricing and want to help you understand exactly what goes into the cost of dental implants in Ohio so you can make an informed decision.
In Ohio, a single dental implant typically costs between $3,000 and $5,500 for the complete procedure. This total includes three distinct components that are each billed separately at most dental offices:
| Component | Description | Cost Range |
|---|---|---|
| Implant Post | Titanium screw surgically placed in the jawbone | $1,500–$2,500 |
| Abutment | Connector piece between post and crown | $500–$800 |
| Implant Crown | Custom porcelain or zirconia tooth | $1,000–$2,200 |
| Total | Complete single implant | $3,000–$5,500 |
It is important to note that these ranges represent the typical cost across Ohio practices. The exact price depends on several factors including the implant brand, the material used for the crown, and whether any preparatory procedures are needed before the implant can be placed.
For patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in one arch, All-on-4 or All-on-6 implant restorations offer a comprehensive solution. This technique uses four to six strategically placed implant posts to support an entire arch of fixed, non-removable teeth. In Ohio, full arch implant restorations typically cost:
| Procedure | Ohio Cost Range (Per Arch) |
|---|---|
| All-on-4 (acrylic prosthesis) | $15,000–$25,000 |
| All-on-4 (zirconia prosthesis) | $25,000–$35,000 |
| All-on-6 | $20,000–$40,000 |
| Full mouth (both arches) | $30,000–$70,000 |
While the upfront cost of All-on-4 implants is substantial, many patients find it more economical than replacing each missing tooth individually. A full arch of individual implants could cost $48,000 or more, making the All-on-4 approach significantly more affordable per tooth. Additionally, these restorations are designed to last 15 to 25 years or longer, making them a sound long-term investment in your oral health and quality of life.
Several factors can raise or lower the final price of your dental implant treatment. Understanding these variables will help you have a more productive conversation with your dentist about what to expect financially:
If you have experienced bone loss in your jaw due to missing teeth, gum disease, or prolonged denture use, you may need a bone graft before an implant can be placed. Bone grafting typically adds $500 to $3,000 to the total cost, depending on the type and extent of grafting required. A sinus lift, which is sometimes needed for upper jaw implants, can add $1,500 to $3,000.
If the damaged tooth is still present, it will need to be extracted before or at the time of implant placement. Simple extractions range from $150 to $350, while surgical extractions of impacted or broken teeth can cost $300 to $650.
Dental implant systems vary in quality and price. Premium implant brands that have decades of clinical research behind them tend to cost more, but they also come with longer warranties and higher documented success rates. Dr. Oh selects implant systems based on clinical evidence and long-term reliability rather than cost alone, which is one reason our implant success rates at Westar Dental consistently exceed the national average.
The implant crown can be made from several materials. Porcelain fused to metal is the most affordable option, while full zirconia and layered porcelain crowns offer superior aesthetics and durability at a higher price point. Your dentist will recommend the best material based on the implant location and your functional needs.
The skill and experience of your implant dentist is one of the most significant factors in both cost and outcome. Dentists who have placed hundreds or thousands of implants, like Dr. Hanul Oh (DDS, NYU College of Dentistry) with over 1,000 implants placed, may charge more than a general dentist performing the occasional implant. However, this expertise translates directly into higher success rates, fewer complications, and better aesthetic results, which saves money in the long run by avoiding costly revisions.

While some dental insurance plans may offer implant coverage at other practices, we have found that keeping implant pricing separate from insurance allows us to offer straightforward, competitive rates without the delays and limitations of insurance processing.
We do not believe cost should prevent anyone from receiving the dental care they need. Westar Dental offers several financing options to make dental implants more accessible:
With financing, a single dental implant can cost as little as $99 to $199 per month, making this life-changing treatment far more affordable than most patients expect.
When researching dental implant costs, you may encounter advertisements for implants at dramatically lower prices than the ranges listed above. While an affordable price is appealing, it is essential to understand what might be behind an unusually low quote:
At Westar Dental, Dr. Hanul Oh (DMD, Tufts University, Cum Laude) provide complete, transparent treatment estimates that include every component of your care. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our commitment to using premium implant systems and advanced technology, including 3D cone beam imaging for precise surgical planning, ensures that your implant is placed correctly the first time.
When evaluating cost, it helps to consider dental implants as a long-term investment rather than a one-time expense. A well-placed implant from an experienced provider can last 25 years or more, while alternatives like dental bridges typically need replacement every 10 to 15 years. Dentures require periodic relining and eventual replacement, and they do not prevent the jawbone loss that occurs after tooth extraction. Over a 20-year period, the total cost of bridges or dentures often exceeds the cost of an implant that is still functioning perfectly.
