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Corrected October 2026: city-level implant prices and clinic counts were withdrawn from this page.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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a single dental implant cost in Minneapolis?
Real Dental Costs does not publish a Minneapolis-specific implant price. The reference we show is the Minnesota editorial estimate (edition 2026.1), not collected prices: $4,410 for a single implant with abutment and crown, against $4,507 for the US (same editorial estimate, not collected prices). Your actual quote depends on the clinic, the implant brand and whether a bone graft is needed.
How can I get a cheaper dental implant in Minneapolis?
Four levers work in Minneapolis. First, the supervised teaching clinic at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry — located in the city itself — charges roughly 30-50% less than private practice. Second, collect three or four itemized written quotes and negotiate. Third, Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid) covers broader adult dental work than almost any state and may cover medically necessary implant placement. Fourth, CareCredit, in-house payment plans and HSA/FSA dollars spread or pre-tax the cost.
Does the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry offer low-cost implants?
Yes. The University of Minnesota School of Dentistry is the state's only dental school and it is in Minneapolis (515 Delaware St SE, Moos Tower; patient clinics at 701 25th Ave S, Suite 400). Students and residents treat patients under faculty supervision, typically at 30-50% below private-practice fees. Treatment takes longer because every step is checked, and you must pass an eligibility screening. Appointments are scheduled at 612-625-2495.
Does Minnesota Medicaid (Medical Assistance) cover dental implants?
Sometimes yes, which is unusual. 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 — the opposite of emergency-only states. Even so, some managed-care plans exclude routine implants, so confirm with your plan (UCare, Medica, DentaQuest networks). The state assistance line is 651-431-2670.
How much do veneers and braces cost in Minneapolis?
We do not publish a city-level figure for veneers and braces. In Minnesota, porcelain veneers average about $1,717 per tooth (state average, ASQ360), just below the $1,759 US average. Braces average about $6,090 in Minnesota (state average, ASQ360), modestly below the $6,352 US average. Written quotes vary between Minneapolis clinics, so comparison shopping pays off.
Is dental insurance worth it for implants in Minneapolis?
Minnesota has one of the highest dental coverage rates in the country, which helps. Even so, most plans treat implants as a major service and cap annual benefits near $1,000 to $2,200, so insurance rarely covers the full cost of an implant. Staying in-network lowers the fee you are billed, and some plans cover the crown or extraction portion. For big cases, a discount dental plan or financing often complements a low-cap policy well.
