Dental Implant Cost in Canada (2026)

Estimate your implant cost

Use the calculator below to explore the total cost for a single implant, multiple implants or a full-arch restoration in CAD. All figures are based on our open dataset and 2026 market estimates.

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 The published guide ranges for Ontario (ODA) are the clearest reference point; other provinces either do not publish implant fees or publish members-only guides.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.

Which provincial fee guides list implant fees

The provincial ranges above are estimates because the fee guides do not give a public per-code implant fee:

• Manitoba: the MDA Suggested Fee Guide is not publicly available.
• Saskatchewan: the CDSS Abbreviated Fee Guide does not publish implant-specific codes.
• Quebec: the ACDQ Guide des tarifs is partially accessible but does not include individual implant component codes.
• British Columbia: the BCDA Suggested Fee Guide is publicly available but does not include implant fixtures.
• Atlantic provinces (NS, NB, PE, NL): guides are public for most routine procedures, but implant pricing is not standardized in them.
• Alberta: the guide is public for core procedures; current amounts for implant component codes require membership access.

All estimate cells are flagged is_estimate: true in the CSV dataset.

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).
