What is the cost of a single-tooth dental implant?
In general, the implant itself, a single tooth, can cost between $1,500 and $2,000. That’s a basic cost, and can change depending on the patient’s situation.
There are also additional costs that may come from office visits, extraction, possible surgery, and even a crown. After an examination, Dr. Carlyle can explain what would be needed for you specifically.
What other factors will affect the price I pay for a dental implant?
- The oral surgeon may have to cut into your gum to fully remove the old tooth and root.
- Depending on the position of the problem tooth, you may undergo sinus surgery.
- The jawbone may need a bone graft to better support the implant.
- Prices vary according to location. North Carolina is average for national implant costs.
- Insurance coverage.
Will my insurance help to defray the cost?
This depends on your individual dental policy. Your insurance company may cover some of the costs of certain procedures or require an out-of-pocket maximum to be reached before they step in to help defray the cost. In some cases, your medical insurance may provide some compensation.
The only way to get an accurate answer is to check with your provider and dentist.
Can I have multiple teeth done at the same time?
If you have several broken teeth next to one another, you may be eligible to have a bridge installed. An implant-supported bridge uses two implants to hold a row of connected replacement teeth, so you do not need an implant for every missing tooth. If you want multiple implants in different parts of your mouth, the oral surgeon may recommend doing them separately, so you can continue to chew while you heal from each procedure.
Is there financing available for dental implants?
Yes, Carlyle Dental offers financing and accepts CareCredit. Speak with the front desk on your next visit to sign up for a payment plan that suits your budget.

What is included in the cost of a dental implant?
A dental implant replaces the whole tooth, from the root up. That is why the price covers more than one part, and why two patients replacing the same tooth can receive different quotes.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a dental implant cost in North Carolina?
For a single tooth, the implant itself often runs about $1,500 to $2,000. The total also includes the abutment and crown, plus any extraction, bone graft or imaging you need, so your final cost depends on your exam.
Does dental insurance cover implants?
It depends on your plan. Some dental plans pay part of the implant, crown or related procedures, and some medical plans help in certain cases. Our team can help you check your benefits before treatment.
How long does the dental implant process take?
Most implants are completed over several months. The bone needs time to heal around the implant before the final crown is attached, and extractions or bone grafts can add time.
Are dental implants better than a bridge or dentures?
Implants replace the tooth root, so they do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and they help preserve the jawbone. A bridge or dentures may still be the better fit for some patients. Dr. Carlyle will walk you through the options.
Can I be sedated for implant treatment?
Yes. Carlyle Dental offers sedation dentistry for patients who feel anxious about dental work, including implant procedures.
Is financing available for dental implants in Kinston?
Yes. Carlyle Dental accepts CareCredit and can help you set up a payment plan that fits your budget.
