Dental Implant Cost in Minneapolis, MN (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Corrected October 2026: city-level implant prices and clinic counts were withdrawn from this page.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 Minneapolis-specific implant price. Our reference for a single dental implant (implant, abutment and crown) is the Minnesota editorial estimate (edition 2026.1), not collected prices: $4,410, against $4,507 for the US (editorial estimate, edition 2026.1, not collected prices). Your Minneapolis quote depends on the clinic, the implant brand and whether a bone graft is needed. The University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, the state's only dental school, runs teaching clinics in the city, and Medical Assistance can cover medically necessary implant placement.

How to pay less for an implant in Minneapolis
1. 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. Quotes from Downtown, the North Loop and Uptown as well as Northeast, St. Louis Park, Edina, Bloomington and St. Paul give you a wider comparison than the nearest office alone.
2. The University of Minnesota teaching clinic (in-city)
The University of Minnesota School of Dentistry is the state's only dental school and it is in Minneapolis — a local shortcut few cities have. Its supervised teaching clinics, where students and residents treat patients under faculty oversight, typically charge 30-50% below private-practice fees. The school is at 515 Delaware St SE (Moos Tower) and patient clinics are at 701 25th Ave S, Suite 400. Treatment takes longer because every step is checked, and you must pass an eligibility screening. Appointments are scheduled at 612-625-2495.
3. Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid): one of the broadest adult benefits in the country
Unlike emergency-only states, Minnesota offers one of the broadest adult Medicaid dental benefit packages in the US. According to the Minnesota Department of Human Services (updated March 2026), covered services can include pre-surgical services, implant placement and implant-supported prosthetics when medically necessary. Some managed-care plans still exclude routine implants, so confirm with your plan (UCare, Medica, DentaQuest networks). The state assistance line for finding dentists who accept Medical Assistance is 651-431-2670. For uninsured patients, Community-University Health Care Center (CUHCC) and Community Dental Care run sliding-scale clinics across the metro.
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 Minneapolis offices for an annual membership fee — often a good complement to a low-cap insurance policy for a single large case.
