Tooth Extraction and Implant Cost (2026)

Quick answer: Extraction plus a single implant typically costs $3,800–$6,000 all-in. The extraction alone is $200–$650; the implant, abutment, and crown are $3,200–$5,800. Socket preservation adds $300–600 if you want to protect the ridge.

Cost breakdown

The combined range assumes a straightforward case. A molar with curved roots, a broken crown, or an infected site costs more.

Immediate vs delayed placement

Immediate placement puts the implant into the socket at the same visit as the extraction. It can shorten treatment and preserve tissue, but it requires enough bone and no active infection.

Delayed placement waits 3–6 months for the socket to heal, then places the implant. It is more predictable in infected or damaged sites.

Ask your dentist which approach fits the tooth and the infection status.

Why socket preservation matters

After an extraction, the ridge shrinks. Socket preservation fills the socket with graft material to limit that change, which can make a later implant simpler and cheaper.

It is not always necessary, but it is easier to do at the extraction than to rebuild later.

Timeline

1. Consultation and imaging — CBCT to plan the implant.
2. Extraction — with or without socket preservation.
3. Implant placement — immediate or after 3–6 months.
4. Healing — 3–6 months for integration.
5. Crown — impression, fabrication, delivery.

Total: roughly 4–8 months, longer if grafting is staged.

Insurance

Extractions are usually covered as a basic service (often 80%). Implants are often excluded or capped at the annual maximum. Ask for a predetermination with the extraction, graft, and implant codes.

See dental implant cost with insurance for a worked example.

FAQ

How much does it cost to pull a tooth and get an implant?

$3,800–$6,000 for a straightforward case, including the extraction and the implant with crown.

Can the implant be placed the same day as the extraction?

Sometimes. It depends on bone, infection, and the tooth's location.

Do I need a bone graft after extraction?

Not always. Socket preservation is optional but can reduce ridge shrinkage.

How long after extraction can I get an implant?

Often 3–6 months, or immediately in selected cases.

Does insurance cover the extraction?

Usually yes, as a basic service. The implant is more often excluded.
