Cash or insurance?
If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you pay the rate your plan negotiated with the hospital, not the cash price. Hospital price files list those rates too: for dental implant, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $1,948.79 and the lowest a median of $645.60. At 17 of 26 hospitals that publish both, the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate.
With a high deductible, cash can cost less. But a cash payment may not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum: ask your plan for its rate at that hospital (most have a cost estimator) and whether it will credit a cash payment.
Plan's rate starts at the median highest negotiated rate and cash at the national median; put in your own numbers. Nothing you type leaves your device. To price a whole year with premiums, use the insurance or cash calculator.
What is CDT D6010?
This code covers surgically placing a dental implant, a small titanium or zirconia post, into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. After the bone heals around it, usually over several months, a connector and a crown are attached in later steps.
What the price covers
D6010 covers placing the implant post itself. The abutment, the implant crown, bone grafting, sinus lift, extraction, 3D scans (cone beam CT) and sedation are billed under separate codes.
Why prices differ
Prices vary with the implant brand, whether the provider is an oral surgeon, periodontist or general dentist, and the clinic setting; a price for D6010 alone may be a fraction of the total cost of an implant tooth.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for D6010 includes the implant part itself, and request a written quote for the full treatment, including the abutment and crown codes.

Common questions
What is CDT code D6010?
CDT D6010 is the billing code for dental implant, surgical placement. This code covers surgically placing a dental implant, a small titanium or zirconia post, into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. After the bone heals around it, usually over several months, a connector and a crown are attached in later steps.
Does the implant price include the crown?
Usually not. D6010 is only the surgical post; the abutment and the crown on top have their own codes and are often done months later, sometimes by a different dentist.
How long does the whole implant process take?
Often several months from placement to final crown, because the bone needs time to bond with the implant. Extractions or bone grafts done first can add more time.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for dental implant?
It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price. In hospital price files the highest negotiated rate for dental implant has a median of $1,948.79 and the lowest a median of $645.60; at 17 of 26 hospitals the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate. A cash payment may not count toward your deductible, so ask your plan for its rate at that hospital first.

Among 2 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in California ($808.64), and highest in New York ($1,215.00). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
