How much will a tooth implant cost? I realize this price will vary depending on my personal circumstances; I am simply trying to bet a bench mark to go on.
I live in Northern California and the tooth is number 19. An easy way to figure out what that means is to think of your lower set of teeth, it is the second one from the back on the left hand side.
If you actually had the implant done, do you like it or not and why?
Thx for any help, John B.

I wasn't going to answer this because I don't know how much it would be in California, but the first persons answer made me! The cost of an implant has gone down quite a bit in recent years and it is not a painful process. It IS a long process. It also isn't much more than a bridge would cost to replace the tooth and the implant will not get decay around it. Once it integrates with the bone, it is good to go. Bridges usually need to be replaced sometime in your life.
I am sure you know all this already, but I felt I had to pipe in! If I were to ever lose a tooth I would get an implant to replace it, hands down.
By the way, around me, in Indiana the implant procedure usually runs $1000-2000 and then the implant crown is usually around $1000. By the way, a bridge would be around $3000, give or take and that charge would probably be incurred one more time in your life!

You probably don't need a tooth implant. You can get one, but from what I've heard they are very expensive and VERY, VERY painful. They actually screw a post into you jawbone and then the tooth is set on that. If you have insurance, then you can get a bridge done. That is where there are 2 crowns set on the teeth in front and in back of the open space and then a solid crown is set in the open space to cover it up. Even if you don't have insurance, you can still get one, but you would have to pay out of pocket and it still will be cheaper than an implant.

I had # 19 pulled last month because it was missing the other half of the tooth, so i could not get a crown put on it. To get a implant it would cost maye $3000 + dollars not including insurance.

Implant doesn't hurt. Where I live, in central oregon, all in is close to $5,000. I'm pondering if I should travel some place where it's less expensive. This includes the implant post, thingy that connects the post to the tooth/crown, and the crown. I've called several places, and this seems to be the going rate.
