The two most common questions we get at Riviera Dental Care are “How much does this hurt?” and “How much does this cost?” The answer to the first question is usually straightforward, as we use patient-centered treatments that prioritize your comfort. However, the second question is a little bit more complicated. The cost of any dental procedure depends on various factors. The cost of dental implant treatment is even less defined, as there are many variabilities to the implant structure and process. Fortunately, we offer dental implant financing to help make costs more manageable, and we’ll work with you throughout the process to keep you informed of any and all fees.
To learn what your implant process will cost, you’ll need to come in for a free consultation at Riviera Dental Care. There, we will create a custom treatment plan and discuss pricing with you.
Understanding the Dental Implant Cost
Dental implants are titanium screws that embed in your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Thanks to their biocompatible design, these implants naturally bond with your bone over time, creating an incredibly strong connection. Then, using this connection, we secure restorations such as dental crowns, bridges, or dentures to replace your missing teeth.
But at Riviera Dental Care, there are two implant options to choose from, each with a different price.
Conventional Dental Implants
Conventional dental implants are larger in diameter and have a multi-piece design. These implants are great for those with ample bone structure, as they require a complex placement procedure that disturbs more of your jawbone. But with multiple pieces comes multiple appointments, increasing the cost of your treatment.
Additionally, because these implants require a lot of bone, many patients require bone grafting! While a bone graft rebuilds lost bone, it adds to both your healing time and your price tag.
Mini Dental Implants
In contrast, mini dental implants have a small diameter and a unique one-piece design. Due to their simpler structure, we place these implants in one appointment using a minimally invasive procedure. Furthermore, mini implants don’t require as much bone for support! Often, patients who are ineligible for conventional implant treatment are still eligible for mini implants, even without a bone graft.
With only one component to pay for and only one placement appointment necessary, mini dental implants are much more affordable than conventional implants.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Implants?
Dental insurance typically provides at least some coverage for most dental procedures. Unfortunately, dental implants aren’t always included in that coverage.
Many companies consider these implants to be a cosmetic procedure. And while they do enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile, dental implants are also incredibly restorative.
In some cases, if your implants are deemed “medically necessary,” your insurance may cover some of the treatment. However, you’ll need to check with your provider to determine what coverage they offer.
Dental Implant Financing 101
For those without dental insurance coverage and facing out-of-pocket costs, Riviera Dental Care offers another solution. Introducing: dental implant financing!
We partner with multiple third-party financing companies that help you manage your costs. Rather than facing your entire bill up front, you can split the cost into more manageable monthly payments!
For example, with Cherry payment plans, you can enjoy:
- 0% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) options
- Up to $35,000 approvals
- No hidden fees
Additionally, we partner with CareCredit, a health and wellness credit card that covers dental procedures. With CareCredit, you can enjoy convenient payment plans, competitive rates, and fast approval. During your free consultation, we will discuss what options work best for your budget.
These financing companies will perform something called a “soft credit check,” which checks your scores without affecting your credit. With this information, they determine if you’re eligible to apply for financing!
