Embrace a future where your smile shines with strength and beauty through our advanced dental implant solutions. Designed to mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth, our implants are anchored securely into your jawbone, providing stability and a seamless blend with your existing dentition.

Our team of dental professionals uses modern implant technology to support a precise, minimally invasive procedure that promotes healing and integration. With a focus on personalized care, we tailor each step of your implant journey to meet your unique needs and aesthetic goals. Beyond restoring your smile, dental implants can help maintain oral health by supporting bone and facial structure.

Who this helps

For adults missing one or more teeth who want a fixed, natural-looking replacement. A consultation and imaging determine whether you have adequate bone and health for implants.

Cost, insurance, and financing

What it costs, and how coverage works

Dental implants are priced in parts, not as one flat fee, and insurance covers them differently from cleanings or fillings. Below are the ranges we see for implant treatment in the Houston and Missouri City area, what Medicaid and PPO plans actually pay, and the financing options available. Every number below is answered in plain text so you can read it here rather than wait for a callback.

Typical private-pay ranges

Updated November 2026
Single tooth implant — implant, abutment and crown
The usual all-in starting point for one missing tooth.
$3,000 – $5,500
Consultation, exam and 3D cone-beam imaging
Imaging is what lets us plan position, depth and angle before surgery.
$100 – $350
Tooth extraction, if the failing tooth is still present
Simple extractions sit at the low end; surgical extractions cost more.
$150 – $450
Bone graft
Added when the jaw has thinned after tooth loss.
$400 – $1,200
Sinus lift
For upper back teeth where the sinus sits close to the bone.
$1,200 – $2,500
Implant-supported denture (per arch)
A removable denture anchored on two or more implants.
$6,000 – $12,000
Full-arch fixed implants (per arch)
A fixed set of teeth supported by four or more implants.
$18,000 – $30,000

Ranges for the Houston and Missouri City area. What you actually pay depends on your tooth, your bone and whether sedation is used, so your written estimate from our office after the exam and 3D imaging is the price that applies to you.

Medicaid: what is and is not covered

We accept Texas Medicaid. Benefits are much broader for children and teens than for adults. For children, Medicaid typically covers exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns on back teeth and extractions. For adults, Texas Medicaid covers a narrow set of services, mostly emergencies such as extractions and pain relief. Dental implants are not a covered Medicaid benefit for adults or for children, so implant treatment is paid privately or through financing. If you have STAR, STAR+ PLUS or a Medicaid dental plan, call us with the plan name and member ID and we will confirm exactly what your plan covers before your appointment.

PPO insurance: how much an implant is actually paid

We are in-network with most major PPO dental plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana and MetLife. A PPO plan pays a percentage of its allowed fee rather than the full fee. Cleanings and exams are often covered at 100%, fillings at around 80%, and major work such as implants and crowns at around 50% after any deductible. Nearly every plan also caps what it pays in a year, commonly $1,000 to $2,000, and many include a missing tooth clause or a waiting period for major services. When there is time before treatment, we send a pre-treatment estimate to your insurer so the number you see is your plan's real share rather than a guess.

Ways to pay for implant treatment

  • Pay in full at the visit. Cash, check, HSA or FSA card, and all major credit and debit cards are accepted.
  • In-house payment plan. For larger treatment we can split the balance into monthly payments agreed before the first appointment. Ask the front desk what arrangement fits your case.
  • Outside patient financing. Third-party lenders let you spread implant treatment over 12 to 60 months, with promotional no-interest periods available to qualified applicants. Approval, term and interest depend on the lender.

In practice, $4,500 of implant treatment over 24 months works out to about $188 a month, and a longer term lowers that figure. We agree the amount in writing before treatment starts.
