A same-day tooth extraction and implant typically costs about $3,150–$6,500 per tooth in the US: a $150–$500 extraction plus a $3,000–$6,000 implant, abutment and crown. Bone grafting, sedation and 3D planning can push the total toward $11,500.
Key takeaways
- "Same-day" usually means the implant is placed right after the tooth is removed. It does not always mean you leave with a finished crown.
- Placing the implant on the same day often costs about the same as waiting, and can save a separate surgery.
- Extras are what change the price: bone graft material, a temporary crown, 3D guides, sedation and surgical extraction.
- Not everyone qualifies. Infection, thin bone and an unstable socket can mean a staged plan is safer.
- Ranges here are planning figures. Your real quote depends on your exam and 3D scan.
What does "same-day extraction and implant" really mean?
Dentists call it immediate implant placement: the failing tooth is removed, and the titanium implant post is placed into the empty socket during the same appointment. The goal is to skip the several-month wait that a traditional plan needs between extraction and implant surgery, and to help preserve the bone that tends to shrink after a tooth is lost.
Two terms are often mixed up in ads and quotes, and the difference affects the price:
- Immediate placement: the implant goes in on the day of extraction.
- Immediate loading: a temporary tooth is attached to the implant on that same day. This needs excellent stability and is not possible for every case.
Your final crown is almost always made after the implant bonds with the bone, which typically takes a few months. If you are budgeting for a full upper or lower arch instead of one tooth, see our All-on-4 calculator, since full-arch "teeth in a day" pricing works differently.
How much does each part cost?
A same-day treatment is not one price. It is a stack of line items. These are 2026 US planning ranges drawn from published cost benchmarks and the ranges used in our calculator.
| Component | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth extraction | $150–$500 | Simple extractions sit at the low end; surgical extractions cost more |
| Implant + abutment + crown | $3,000–$6,000 | Complete single-tooth implant, before extras |
| Bone graft (socket) | $500–$3,500 | Only if the socket needs rebuilding |
| 3D imaging / planning | $100–$700 | Higher end when a surgical guide is included |
| Sedation | $250–$800 | Local anesthesia is usually included |
Published national benchmarks for a "same-day" or immediate-load single implant cluster around the low-to-mid $3,000s, with a wide range from roughly $2,500 to $6,000 depending on the practice and what is included. The temporary tooth, if any, may be bundled into that fee or billed separately, so always ask.
Total cost: extraction and implant on the same day
Add the pieces that apply to you and you get a realistic total. Here are common scenarios for a single tooth.
| Scenario | Estimated total |
|---|---|
| Simple extraction + implant + crown (no extras) | $3,150–$6,500 |
| Same, with 3D imaging and surgical guide | $3,250–$7,200 |
| Same-day plan with a socket bone graft | $3,650–$10,000 |
| All extras: graft, sedation and 3D planning | $4,000–$11,500 |
| Full arch, same-day teeth (per arch, extractions often extra) | $15,000–$40,000 |
These totals add the component ranges above, so treat them as budgeting guides rather than quotes. To see how state, crown material and implant brand change the number, run your details through our free dental implant cost calculator, which includes extraction, bone graft, sedation and imaging as add-ons.
Same-day vs. staged: which costs more?
In a staged plan, the tooth is removed first, the site heals for a few months, and then the implant is placed in a second surgery. The materials are largely the same, so the base price is similar. The differences come from everything around the implant.
| Factor | Same-day placement | Staged placement |
|---|---|---|
| Surgeries | One combined visit | Two separate surgeries |
| Time to implant | Same day | Often 3–6 months after extraction |
| Bone preservation | Helps limit early bone shrinkage | May need a graft to rebuild lost bone |
| Possible added costs | Guide, temporary crown, graft at the same visit | Second surgery fee, later graft |
| Typical base cost | $3,150–$6,500 | $3,150–$6,500 |
| Best when | Healthy bone, no active infection | Infection, thin bone or an unstable socket |
The bottom line: same-day treatment is not automatically more expensive, but it can become so if it requires extra technology or materials. A staged plan can be the better value when a socket needs to heal first.
What raises the price?
1. How hard the extraction is
A simple extraction of a visible, intact tooth costs far less than a surgical extraction of a broken or impacted tooth. Published fee data puts simple extractions near the low end of the range and surgical ones noticeably higher.
2. Bone grafting
If the socket has lost walls or bone, the dentist may pack graft material around the implant, or do the graft first and place the implant later. This is the biggest single add-on.
3. Temporary tooth and surgical guide
A custom temporary crown, a 3D-printed surgical guide and digital planning add lab and technology cost. Some offices include them, and others itemize them.
4. Sedation
Local anesthesia is typically included. IV sedation or oral sedation is commonly billed separately.
5. Who does the surgery
Oral surgeons, periodontists and experienced implant dentists charge specialist fees, especially for front teeth where aesthetics are demanding.
6. Your location
Fees in large coastal metros run higher than in smaller cities. Use the state selector in our calculator to adjust for where you live.
Who qualifies for a same-day implant?
Same-day placement works best when the implant can be held firmly in healthy bone. Dentists generally look for:
- Enough bone around and below the tooth to anchor the implant.
- An intact socket after extraction, which is more likely with a gentle, simple extraction.
- No uncontrolled infection at the site, or an infection that can be fully cleaned out.
- Good general and gum health, with controlled conditions such as diabetes.
- No heavy habits that slow healing, such as smoking.
If you do not qualify, your dentist may recommend extraction with a bone graft now and the implant later. That is not a failure. It is often the safer path, and it is why a 3D scan should come before any price is final. For what a first visit includes and costs, see our guide to dental implant consultation costs.
What happens on the day
- Planning: an exam and 3D scan confirm the bone and the position of the implant.
- Anesthesia: the area is numbed, and sedation is optional.
- Extraction: the tooth is removed as gently as possible to protect the socket walls.
- Implant placement: the implant is placed into the socket, with graft material added around it if needed.
- Temporary tooth (if suitable): a temporary crown may be attached and kept out of heavy biting.
- Healing: the implant bonds to the bone over the following months, then the final crown is placed.
Total time from extraction to a finished crown is commonly several months. Aftercare and upkeep add to the long-term budget, covered in our guide to long-term implant costs.
Does insurance cover an extraction and implant?
Usually only in part. Dental plans tend to cover extractions more readily than implants, and some pay a share of surgical extractions and ridge-preservation bone grafts. Implants are often excluded or capped, and annual maximums of about $1,000–$2,000 are common, so coverage can run out quickly.
Ask your dentist for the procedure codes they will bill. Common ones include D7140 (simple extraction), D7210 (surgical extraction), D6010 (surgical placement of an implant) and D7953 (bone graft for ridge preservation). Then request a written pre-authorization so you know your share before treatment. Our calculator's insurance field shows how a plan contribution changes your out-of-pocket range.
7 ways to lower the cost
- Get 2–3 itemized quotes listing extraction, implant, abutment, crown, temporary tooth, graft, imaging and sedation separately.
- Compare a staged plan with the same-day plan so you see the real difference for your case.
- Ask what is bundled, especially the temporary crown, the 3D guide and follow-up visits.
- Check dental school clinics, where supervised students and residents often charge less.
- Use HSA or FSA funds to pay with pre-tax dollars.
- Compare financing. Try our dental implant financing calculator to see monthly payments, and read the interest terms carefully.
- Pre-authorize with your insurer so covered extraction and graft items are paid correctly.
Watch out for ultra-low advertised prices. A fee of a few hundred dollars usually covers only the implant post, not the abutment, crown, extraction or imaging, which is why the all-in cost is far higher.
Questions to ask before you pay
- Am I a candidate for same-day placement, and what does my 3D scan show?
- Is this immediate placement, immediate loading, or both?
- What is the all-in price from extraction to final crown?
- Are the temporary tooth, guide, imaging and sedation included?
- What happens, and what do I pay, if the implant cannot be placed the same day?
- What is your warranty or policy if the implant fails to integrate?
- Will you submit a pre-authorization to my insurer?

Risks and warning signs
Immediate placement is well established, but it carries risks that depend on the case. The implant may fail to bond with the bone, gums can recede, especially in the front of the mouth, and infection or poor healing can occur. Biting hard on a temporary crown too early can disturb a healing implant.
Contact your dentist promptly if you have a fever, swelling that gets worse after the first few days, heavy bleeding, severe pain that medication does not control, or a loose implant or crown. Follow all aftercare instructions, including diet and cleaning.

How much does a same-day extraction and implant cost?
A same-day extraction and implant typically costs about $3,150–$6,500 per tooth in the US, combining a $150–$500 extraction with a $3,000–$6,000 implant, abutment and crown. Bone grafting, sedation, and 3D planning can raise the total to roughly $11,500.
Is a same-day implant more expensive than waiting?
Not necessarily. The implant and crown cost about the same whether placed on the same day or after healing, and you may save a separate surgery visit. Same-day treatment can cost more if it needs extras such as a surgical guide, a temporary crown, bone graft material, or sedation.
What is the difference between immediate placement and immediate loading?
Immediate placement means the implant goes into the socket on the day the tooth is removed. Immediate loading means a temporary tooth is attached to the implant that same day. You can have placement without loading, and your quote should say which one you are getting.
Does insurance cover an extraction and implant on the same day?
Often in part. Extractions are more commonly covered than implants, and many dental plans pay a share of surgical extractions and sometimes bone grafts. Implant coverage is frequently limited or excluded, and annual maximums apply. Ask for a written pre-authorization using the procedure codes your dentist will bill.
Am I a candidate for a same-day implant?
You need enough healthy bone around the tooth, a socket that can hold the implant steady, and no spreading infection that cannot be cleaned out. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and gum disease lower the odds. Only a clinical exam and a 3D scan can confirm candidacy.
How long does a same-day extraction and implant take?
Many single-tooth cases are completed in one appointment lasting a couple of hours, but timing depends on the tooth, the difficulty of the extraction, and whether grafting or sedation is involved. Your dentist can give a better estimate after seeing your scan.
Is recovery painful?
The area is numbed, and you can also choose sedation. Most people have soreness and swelling for several days that is managed with medication prescribed by your dentist, and a soft-food diet is usually advised during early healing.
What happens if the implant cannot be placed the same day?
Your dentist may clean the site, place bone graft material, and schedule the implant after healing. You would still pay for the extraction and any graft, so ask in advance how the quote changes and whether any part of the implant fee is credited.
Can I get a same-day implant for a front tooth?
In some cases, yes. Front teeth are more visible, so placement and gum contour are more demanding, and the temporary crown must be kept out of biting forces. Specialists often handle these cases, which can raise the fee.
How can I lower the cost of an extraction and implant?
Get two or three itemized quotes, ask whether the temporary crown, imaging and graft are included, compare staged and same-day pricing, check a dental school clinic, use HSA or FSA funds, and have your plan pre-authorize any covered parts.
