Dental Implant Cost in Boise, ID (2026)
Corrected October 2026: city-level implant prices and clinic counts were withdrawn from this page. See our data corrections.
Real Dental Costs does not publish a Boise-specific implant price. Our reference for a single dental implant (implant, abutment and crown) is the Idaho editorial estimate (edition 2026.1), not collected prices: $4,368, against $4,507 for the US (editorial estimate, edition 2026.1, not collected prices). Your Boise quote depends on the clinic, the implant brand and whether a bone graft is needed. The ISU Family Dentistry residency clinic in Meridian and Terry Reilly Health Services offer income-based sliding fees.

How to pay less for an implant in Boise
1. The ISU sliding-scale residency in Meridian
Idaho has no traditional dental school, so the standard student-clinic discount works differently here. The ISU Family Dentistry Clinic in Meridian (about 10 miles from Boise) hosts the Idaho Advanced General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at Idaho State University, where supervised residents place implants — including full-arch All-on-X cases. Patients pay on an income-based sliding fee scale tied to household income and family size, with the discount offered to those at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. Care takes longer because each step is reviewed, and you must pass an eligibility screening — but it is the strongest in-metro save lever in the Treasure Valley.
2. Compare itemized written quotes
Collect three or four itemized written quotes, confirm each separates the implant, abutment, crown and any bone graft, then ask each clinic to match the lowest. In the competitive Boise market this works better than almost anywhere else in the state.
3. The Terry Reilly FQHC and Medicaid pathway
- Terry Reilly Health Services, a Boise federally qualified health center (FQHC), offers a sliding-fee dental discount for patients at or under 200% of the federal poverty guidelines and accepts Idaho Medicaid.
- Idaho Medicaid dental for adults runs through the Idaho Smiles program (administered by MCNA) and includes an adult dental benefit — but implants are generally treated as a major or cosmetic service and are typically not covered, so plan to pay cash for the implant itself and always get an itemized quote.
4. Financing, HSA/FSA and discount plans
- CareCredit and in-house payment plans spread the cost over 6-60 months; the longer the term, the more interest you pay.
- HSA/FSA dollars pay for medically necessary implant work with pre-tax money, cutting the real cost by your tax rate.
- Discount dental plans lower the cash price at participating Boise offices for an annual membership fee — often a better deal than a low-cap insurance policy for a single large case.
Boise and Treasure Valley market notes
Location inside the valley matters. Quotes from central downtown Boise near Bannock and Capitol as well as suburban offices across the Treasure Valley — toward Meridian, Nampa and Eagle — give you a wider comparison than the nearest office alone, and Meridian also puts you next to the ISU sliding-scale clinic.
[!WARNING] Before treatment, verify your provider is licensed by the Idaho State Board of Dentistry (isbd.idaho.gov). A quote that looks unusually low often excludes the abutment, crown or bone graft — always get it itemized.
