Dental Implant Cost in Tulsa, OK (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Corrected October 2026: city-level implant prices and clinic counts were withdrawn from this page.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 Tulsa-specific implant price. Our reference for a single dental implant (implant, abutment and crown) is the Oklahoma editorial estimate (edition 2026.1), not collected prices: $4,053, against $4,507 for the US (editorial estimate, edition 2026.1, not collected prices). Your Tulsa quote depends on the clinic, the implant brand and whether a bone graft is needed. Morton Comprehensive Health Services, Community Health Connection and the OU College of Dentistry are the main lower-cost routes.

How to pay less for an implant in Tulsa

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 more than one part of the Tulsa area — South Tulsa, Midtown and the Bixby, Jenks and Broken Arrow suburbs — give you a wider comparison than the nearest office alone.

2. The dental-school pathway — a day-trip to OKC

Because Tulsa has no dental school of its own, the nearest teaching clinic is the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in Oklahoma City, about a 90-minute drive. Students and residents treat patients under faculty supervision, typically at 40-60% below private-practice fees. Treatment takes longer because every step is checked, and you must pass an eligibility screening, but for big cases the saving usually beats the cost of the trip.

3. FQHC community health centers (sliding scale)

Federally qualified health centers charge on an income-based sliding scale:

  • Morton Comprehensive Health Services — Tulsa's historic FQHC, with dental services and income-based fees serving the low-income community.
  • Community Health Connection (CHC) — a Tulsa community health center with dental services, with a strong presence in East Tulsa.

4. SoonerCare and aid: know the limits

For adults, SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) dental is limited — it covers cleanings and fluoride, fillings, full and partial dentures and extractions with about a $4 copay (no copay for emergencies), but not implants, veneers, crowns or root canals. If you rely on SoonerCare, plan to pay cash for the implant itself and look at an FQHC (Morton, Community Health Connection), the OU College of Dentistry clinic in Oklahoma City, or aid through Oklahoma Mission of Mercy (OkMOM) and the Delta Dental of Oklahoma Foundation.

5. 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. Some offices offer 0% for 12-24 months to qualified patients.
  • 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 Tulsa offices for an annual membership fee — often a better deal than a low-cap insurance policy for a single large case.

[!WARNING] Before treatment, verify your provider is licensed by the Oklahoma Board of Dentistry. A quote that looks unusually low often excludes the abutment, crown or bone graft — always get it itemized in writing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a single dental implant cost in Tulsa?
Real Dental Costs does not publish a Tulsa-specific implant price. The reference we show is the Oklahoma editorial estimate (edition 2026.1), not collected prices: $4,053 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 brand of implant and whether a bone graft is needed.
How can I get a cheaper dental implant in Tulsa?
Four levers work in Tulsa. First, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) — Morton Comprehensive Health Services and Community Health Connection — charge on an income-based sliding scale. Second, the teaching clinic at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in Oklahoma City charges roughly 40-60% below private practice if you can make the 90-minute drive. Third, collect three or four itemized written quotes and negotiate. Fourth, CareCredit, in-house payment plans and HSA/FSA dollars spread or pre-tax the cost. Discount dental plans also cut the cash price at participating offices.
Is there a dental school in Tulsa for low-cost implants?
Not directly. Tulsa has no dental school of its own — Oklahoma's only one is the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in Oklahoma City, about a 90-minute drive away. Its teaching clinics treat patients with students and residents under faculty supervision, typically at about 40-60% below private-practice fees, so the trip is worth it for large cases like an implant or a full course of braces. Within Tulsa itself, the low-cost routes are the FQHCs (Morton, Community Health Connection) and comparing itemized quotes across the city.
Does SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) cover dental implants in Tulsa?
No. For adults, SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) dental coverage is limited — it covers cleanings and fluoride, fillings, full and partial dentures and extractions, with about a $4 copay (no copay for emergencies) — but it does not cover implants, veneers, crowns or root canals. If you rely on SoonerCare, plan to pay cash for an implant and look at an FQHC like Morton Comprehensive Health Services or Community Health Connection, the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry teaching clinic in Oklahoma City, or financing.
How much do veneers and braces cost in Tulsa?
We don't publish a city-level veneer or braces price for Tulsa — unlike implants, orthodontic and cosmetic pricing does not track local implant prices, so we don't estimate city-level figures. In Oklahoma, porcelain veneers average about $1,649 per tooth (state average, ASQ360 Market Research for CareCredit), about 6% below the $1,759 US average. Braces for a full course of treatment average about $6,940 in Oklahoma (state average, ASQ360), about 9% above the $6,352 US average. As with implants, get an itemized written quote from your Tulsa clinic.
Where can I find free or low-cost dental care in Tulsa?
Several routes exist. The FQHCs — Morton Comprehensive Health Services and Community Health Connection — charge on an income-based sliding scale. Oklahoma Mission of Mercy (OkMOM), run by the Oklahoma Dental Association and Foundation, holds a two-day free clinic for uninsured and under-insured patients, and the Delta Dental of Oklahoma Foundation supports community care. For large work, the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry teaching clinic in Oklahoma City offers reduced fees if you can travel.
