Dental Implant Cost in Great Falls, MT (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Corrected October 2026: city-level implant prices and clinic counts were withdrawn from this page.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 Great Falls-specific implant price. Our reference for a single dental implant (implant, abutment and crown) is the Montana editorial estimate (edition 2026.1), not collected prices: $4,515, against $4,507 for the US (editorial estimate, edition 2026.1, not collected prices). Your Great Falls quote depends on the clinic, the implant brand and whether a bone graft is needed. Alluvion Health runs a sliding-fee FQHC dental clinic in Great Falls, the regional hub for north-central Montana.

How to pay less for an implant in Great Falls

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. Include both specialist or oral-surgery offices and general practices; patients travel into Great Falls from across the region, so the city is the natural place to compare.

2. The Alluvion Health FQHC pathway

Alluvion Health runs a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) dental clinic in Great Falls with a sliding-fee scale tied to household income, so income-eligible patients pay well below private-practice rates. FQHC clinics prioritize diagnostic, preventive and restorative care and can have waitlists, but for patients without strong dental coverage they are the most reliable safety-net option in the Great Falls area.

3. Travel-to-save: Creighton and UNMC

Montana has no dental school, so there is no in-state teaching clinic. The nearest supervised student clinics are Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, NE, and the UNMC College of Dentistry in Lincoln, NE, where students and residents treat patients under faculty oversight at reduced fees. The trade-off is long-distance travel and multiple visits, so this route makes the most sense for larger full-arch cases rather than a single implant.

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 Great Falls offices for an annual membership fee — often a better deal than a low-cap insurance policy for a single large case.

5. Montana Medicaid: know the cap

Montana Medicaid (Montana Healthcare Programs) offers adult comprehensive dental, but treatment services are capped at $1,205 per year as of July 2025. That cap rarely covers a full implant, which is usually treated as elective. Use Medicaid for the covered diagnostic, preventive and restorative work, and plan to pay cash, finance, or use the Alluvion Health sliding scale for the implant itself.

Great Falls market notes

Great Falls anchors the Cascade County dental market and draws patients from across north-central Montana — the Hi-Line, the Golden Triangle and the small towns between Helena and the Canadian border. Specialist and oral-surgery offices sit alongside general practices, so gathering itemized quotes across Great Falls rather than just at the nearest office gives you the widest comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a single dental implant cost in Great Falls?
Real Dental Costs does not publish a Great Falls-specific implant price. The reference we show is the Montana editorial estimate (edition 2026.1), not collected prices: $4,515 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 Great Falls?
Four levers work in Great Falls. First, collect three or four itemized written quotes across the metro and ask each clinic to match the lowest. Second, Alluvion Health (an FQHC in Great Falls) offers sliding-scale fees for income-eligible patients. Third, because Montana has no dental school, some patients travel to the supervised student clinics at Creighton University (Omaha, NE) or UNMC (Lincoln, NE), where fees run well below private practice. Fourth, CareCredit, in-house payment plans, HSA/FSA dollars and discount dental plans spread or pre-tax the cost.
Does Montana Medicaid cover dental implants in Great Falls?
Montana Medicaid (Montana Healthcare Programs) provides adult comprehensive dental, but treatment services are capped at $1,205 per year as of July 2025. That cap rarely covers a full implant, which most plans also treat as elective. Medicaid is best used for the covered diagnostic, preventive and restorative work, while the implant itself is usually paid in cash, financed, or routed through the Alluvion Health FQHC sliding scale.
Is there a dental school near Great Falls for low-cost implants?
No — Montana has no dental school. The nearest teaching clinics are Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska, and the UNMC College of Dentistry in Lincoln, Nebraska, where students and residents treat patients under faculty supervision at reduced fees. For Great Falls patients the trade-off is significant travel and multiple visits, so the savings make the most sense for larger full-arch cases rather than a single implant.
Does Alluvion Health help with dental costs in Great Falls?
Yes. Alluvion Health operates a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) dental clinic in Great Falls that uses a sliding-fee scale tied to household income, so eligible patients pay less than private-practice rates. FQHC clinics focus on diagnostic, preventive and restorative care and may have waitlists, but for patients without strong dental coverage they are the most reliable safety-net option in the Great Falls area.
How much do veneers and braces cost in Great Falls?
In Montana, porcelain veneers average about $1,727 per tooth (state average, ASQ360), close to the $1,759 US average. Braces average about $6,211 in Montana (state average, ASQ360), slightly below the $6,352 US average. We do not publish city-level veneer or braces figures for Great Falls; the state average is the most reliable benchmark available.
