Dental Implant Cost in Canada (2026)
A complete single dental implant in Canada costs $3,000–$6,100 CAD depending on the province. The national average in our 2026 dataset is $4,475. Manitoba is the least expensive province; Newfoundland and Labrador is the most expensive. Ontario is our best-documented province, at $4,165 minimum on our own estimatenot cover implants at any income level.

The CDCP does not cover implants. Even at the lowest income tier (under $70,000 net family income), a dental implant is 100% out-of-pocket. See our CDCP implants exclusion page for the full exclusion text.

What is included in the implant price?
A complete dental implant has three separate components, each billed under its own ODA code:
1. Implant fixture (titanium screw) — The post that is surgically placed in the jawbone. It fuses with the bone over 3–6 months (osseointegration). On our 2026 Ontario estimate: approximately $1,375.
2. Abutment (connector) — The metal collar that connects the fixture to the visible crown. On our 2026 Ontario estimate: approximately $575.
3. Ceramic crown — The tooth-coloured cap cemented onto the abutment. On our 2026 Ontario estimate: approximately $1,099 for the crown code plus a lab fee of approximately $1,116, bringing the crown component to about $2,215.
Ontario breakdown (Real Dental Costs estimate): $1,375 + $575 + $1,099 + $1,116 lab = $4,165 minimum. This is the lowest quoted official price; most Ontario practices bill at $4,500–$5,000 for a complete implant.
Additional costs that may apply: bone graft ($500–$3,000+, market estimate 2026), sinus lift ($1,500–$3,500+, market estimate), CBCT scan ($300–$600, market estimate), and specialist fees if an oral surgeon or periodontist performs the surgery rather than a general dentist.
Why implants cost more in some provinces
Unlike recall exams or fillings, dental implants are largely unregulated by provincial fee guides — they are a private procedure. The published guide ranges for Ontario (ODA) are the clearest reference point; other provinces either do not publish implant fees or publish members-only guides. As a result:
- Ontario is our best-documented province (about $4,165 minimum, Real Dental Costs estimate).
- Manitoba quotes the lowest market range (about $3,000–$4,500) and is consistently cited by Canadian comparison sites as the most affordable implant destination.
- Newfoundland and Labrador sits at the high end of Atlantic province estimates ($3,600–$6,100), likely reflecting fewer specialist practices and higher overhead in smaller markets.
- Alberta and British Columbia show wide ranges ($3,500–$6,000 and $3,000–$5,500 respectively) because of significant urban–rural variation and active dental tourism pricing in cities like Calgary and Vancouver.
The CDCP does not cover implants — what are your options?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) explicitly excludes dental implants and all implant-related procedures at every income tier. This is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the plan.
What CDCP does cover that can interact with implant planning:
- Extractions (simple, no pre-authorization): clearing the socket before implant placement.
- Bone graft pre-authorization is required for some bone procedures; however, bone grafts done as part of implant placement are also excluded.
Alternatives if you cannot afford an implant:
- Dental bridge (3-unit): approximately $2,700–$4,347 CAD (market estimate 2026 — 3 ceramic crowns × $910–$1,449). Covered in part by CDCP with pre-authorization. See our implant vs bridge comparison.
- Removable partial denture: included in CDCP with pre-authorization, starting at about $490–$1,210 CAD nationally.
- Complete denture: covered by CDCP (1 per arch per 96 months, no pre-authorization for standard dentures).
