A single dental implant is three billed pieces: the implant body placed in the bone (code D6010), the abutment that connects it (D6057 or D6056) and the crown on top (D6058 or D6059). Together they are estimated at a median $9,405 in September 2026 dollars, before any insurance, in the 4 states whose Medicaid fee schedules list all three codes: Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts and New York. The network price that a private dental plan allows is lower, about $5,303. Plans usually treat implants as major work and pay half after the deductible, but the yearly maximum caps what they pay: with the Covered California 2026 example plan, a $1,500 maximum, the plan pays $1,500 and the patient keeps $3,803 of that network price. Extractions, bone grafts, scans and sedation are billed separately and are not in these figures.
What a single implant is billed as
An implant replaces the root and the crown of one missing tooth, and it reaches the bill as separate codes of the Current Dental Terminology. The implant body, a titanium or zirconia post placed in the jaw, is code D6010. The abutment, the connector screwed onto it, is D6057 when it is custom made and D6056 when it is prefabricated. The crown fitted on the abutment is D6058 for porcelain or ceramic and D6059 for porcelain fused to metal. The estimator adds one of each, which is the usual sequence for one tooth once the jaw has healed.
Most offices quote the three together, and the total is what the estimator shows. Work done before or around the implant is billed on its own: removing the tooth, a bone graft or sinus lift when the bone is too thin, a cone beam scan, a temporary tooth, sedation. A quote that seems far above the estimate often includes some of these, so it is worth asking for the codes line by line.
| Part | CDT code | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Implant body, endosteal | D6010 | Post placed in the bone |
| Abutment | D6057 | Connector between post and crown |
| Crown on the abutment | D6058 | Visible tooth |
Why only a few states can be priced
The estimate starts from what a state's Medicaid program pays for each code, and most programs do not pay for implants at all. Of the 27 schedules this site reads, 4 list the implant body, an abutment and an implant crown: Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts and New York. Elsewhere the price cannot be estimated without guessing a fee, and the site does not guess. The state comparison shows which procedures each state's schedule allows us to price.
The same method gives the parts that many more states list. A porcelain crown on a natural tooth, priced in 18 states, has a median of $1,713; a three-unit bridge, priced in 9, $5,020. The crown page and the bridge page give their state ranges.

What a dental plan pays toward an implant
Plans that cover implants put them with major services, paid at a lower share than fillings. The Covered California 2026 adult plan used as the default here pays 50 % of major work after a $50 deductible, and nothing beyond $1,500 a year. On the median network price of $5,303, half after the deductible would be $2,626, so the maximum binds and the plan pays $1,500. If the dentist agrees the crown can wait until the plan year renews, a second maximum is available: the calculator puts that at $1,101 more. The annual maximum page explains this split.
Three clauses decide whether a plan pays at all, and they are in the benefit summary rather than on a price page. A waiting period, often several months for major services, delays any payment for new members; the example plan has 6 months for major services, waived with proof of earlier coverage. Some plans exclude the replacement of a tooth that was missing before coverage began. And some plans pay for an implant only up to the price of a cheaper alternative, such as a bridge or a partial denture. A predetermination, the plan's written answer before treatment, settles all three.

Medicare, Medicaid and implants
Original Medicare does not cover routine dental work, and Medicare.gov lists implants among the services it generally leaves out; some Medicare Advantage plans add dental benefits of their own. Medicaid programs must cover dental care for children, but adult benefits are left to each state, as the federal Medicaid agency states, and few include implants. The Medicaid page gives each state's level of adult coverage.
Reading a quote against these figures
Treat the implant figures as an order of magnitude. The ratio that turns a Medicaid fee into a typical charge is measured on common services such as exams, fillings and extractions, and a program that pays implants may pay them closer to dentists' fees than it pays a checkup; no public file of dentists' charges by code lets us test that, and the full fee estimated here is above the ranges many clinics advertise. The network price is the more prudent reference. An estimate is a state average for the three codes, not the price of your treatment. Fees are higher in large cities, specialists such as periodontists and oral surgeons often charge more than general dentists for the surgical part, and the crown's price depends on the material and the lab. The useful comparison is code by code: if the quote's D6010 line is close to the estimate and the total is not, the difference is in other work, which the office can explain. Paying over time is covered on the financing page, with the rates a card or a loan actually costs.
Whether an implant is the right treatment for a missing tooth is a clinical question that depends on the bone, the gums, the neighboring teeth and your health. This site compares prices only; the implant or bridge page sets the two bills side by side, not their medical merits.
