Dental Implant Cost in Salt Lake City, UT (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Corrected October 2026: city-level implant prices and clinic counts were withdrawn from this page.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 Salt Lake City-specific implant price. Our reference for a single dental implant (implant, abutment and crown) is the Utah editorial estimate (edition 2026.1), not collected prices: $4,347, against $4,507 for the US (editorial estimate, edition 2026.1, not collected prices). Your Salt Lake City quote depends on the clinic, the implant brand and whether a bone graft is needed. The University of Utah School of Dentistry and Roseman University College of Dental Medicine clinics are the main lower-cost routes.

How to pay less for an implant in Salt Lake City
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 Salt Lake City area — Avenues, Sugar House and downtown; South Jordan, Sandy, West Valley City, Murray and Draper — give you a wider comparison than the nearest office alone.
2. The University of Utah student-clinic pathway
The University of Utah School of Dentistry, located right in Salt Lake City, runs supervised teaching clinics where students and residents treat patients under faculty oversight, typically well below private-practice fees. Treatment takes longer because every step is checked, and you must pass an eligibility screening. Roseman University College of Dental Medicine in South Jordan, about 20 miles south, is the nearest backup if Salt Lake wait times are long.
3. Financing, HSA/FSA and membership 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.
- In-house membership plans — common at Salt Lake clinics — bundle cleanings and exams with roughly 15% off treatment, often a better deal than a low-cap insurance policy for a single large case.
4. Medicaid and the new adult dental benefit
Utah expanded Medicaid to comprehensive adult dental effective April 1, 2025, giving an estimated 120,000 adult Utahns coverage for check-ups, x-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canals, crowns and dentures. Implants themselves are generally still excluded as elective, but the new benefit can cover supporting work such as extractions. If you rely on Medicaid, plan to pay cash for the implant and pair it with the University of Utah student clinic or financing.
[!WARNING] Before treatment, verify your provider is licensed by the Utah Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) (dopl.utah.gov). A quote that looks unusually low often excludes the abutment, crown or bone graft — always get it itemized.
