At Apex, βaffordableβ means transparent and complete, not stripped down. $1,999 single tooth all-inclusive. $12,500 All-on-4 per arch, done while you sleep, with the same Neodent (Straumann) implants used by clinics charging $30,000 for the same procedure.
If you've looked into dental implants, you've probably seen prices ranging from $1,800 (a misleading βstarting atβ teaser) to $50,000+ (national chain quotes for full-mouth). The actual procedure is the same regardless of who performs it, same titanium implants, same osseointegration science, same multi-month healing process. So why does pricing vary so wildly?
It comes down to business model, not clinical quality:
We use the same Neodent (Straumann group) titanium implants that national chains charge $30,000 for. Same warranty. Same global manufacturer. Same surgical methodology developed by lead dentist Dr. Badyal over 20,000+ implants placed.
The difference isn't in the implants. It's in everything else around them.
Pricing reflects all-inclusive procedure totals. National averages drawn from published rates at major chains (ClearChoice, Nuvia) and surveys of California implant providers, 2025 data.
Our practice sits at 9340 W Stockton Blvd, Suite 120 in Elk Grove, roughly 20 minutes south of downtown Sacramento straight down Highway 99. A large share of the patients we treat drive in from Sacramento proper, and the most common reason they give is simple: the same procedure, with the same implant brand, costs materially less here than at the chain clinics advertising across the metro.
The pricing does not change by zip code. $1,999 for a single-tooth implant and $12,500 per arch for All-on-4 are the same numbers for a Sacramento patient as for an Elk Grove one. There is no travel surcharge, no separate city rate, and no βstarting atβ qualifier attached to either figure. Financing runs the same way too, with CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry all run live at your consultation.
We regularly see patients from Land Park, Pocket-Greenhaven, Curtis Park, Oak Park, East Sacramento, Midtown, Natomas, and South Sacramento. For most of those neighborhoods the drive is shorter than crossing town in traffic, and because implant surgery here is done under full general anesthesia in a single visit, the number of trips you make is small: the free consultation with the 3D CT scan, the surgery day, and a short set of follow-ups.
If you are comparing options across the Sacramento market, three pages are worth reading alongside this one, our Sacramento dental implants page for location and logistics detail, the full dental implant cost breakdown for how each line item is priced, and financing options if the monthly payment is the deciding factor rather than the total.

Three things: (1) Transparent all-inclusive pricing, $1,999 single tooth and $12,500 All-on-4 per arch with nothing hidden. (2) Dedicated implant-focused practice model, implants are our entire focus, so we operate efficiently. (3) No national-chain overhead, we don't pay for celebrity ad campaigns or corporate facility fees. The price you see is the price you pay.
Yes, and at exactly the same price. Our practice is in Elk Grove, about 20 minutes south of downtown Sacramento on Highway 99, and a large share of our patients drive in from Sacramento proper. $1,999 single tooth and $12,500 per arch for All-on-4 apply to every patient regardless of zip code, we don't price by neighborhood.
No. We place Neodent fixtures (owned by Straumann, the global premium implant manufacturer). Same titanium, same osseointegration science, same warranty as any high-end clinic. The price difference is in business model, not implant quality. Most national chains use the same global implant brands and charge 2x because of marketing and corporate overhead.
$1,999 for a single-tooth implant, that's the floor. It's all-inclusive: implant fixture, custom abutment, porcelain crown, surgical placement, follow-up visits. Some clinics advertise '$1,200 dental implants' but that's the implant fixture only, the abutment and crown are separate $1,500-$2,500 charges they reveal at consultation. Our $1,999 is the complete price.
Yes. We work with CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry, and we run all three at your free consultation alongside your insurance benefits. Most patients get a decision in under 60 seconds. We don't quote monthly payment amounts in advance: approval, rate, and term are set by the lender based on your credit, so the exact figure comes from them at your consultation rather than as an estimate from us.
Apex doesn't offer subsidized programs directly, but many of our patients qualify for healthcare financing that effectively functions as a 0%-APR introductory period. We can also work with FSA/HSA accounts. For Medi-Cal, dental implants are typically not covered; we can refer you to dental schools (UCLA, UCSF, UOP) which offer reduced-cost implant procedures performed by supervised residents.
Mexican implant pricing can be lower up-front (often $8,000 to $10,000 for All-on-4) but adds travel costs, time off work, and complications if revisions are needed. Mexican implants typically use generic fixtures rather than Neodent/Straumann. Apex's $12,500 All-on-4 includes your follow-up care for years and uses premium implants, total cost-of-ownership is often equal or lower without the travel risk.
Almost always yes. A traditional bridge needs replacement every 10 to 15 years (~$5,000+ each cycle). Dentures need relining every 1 to 2 years and full replacement every 5 to 7 years. An implant is designed to last for life. A 30-year cost comparison usually favors implants by tens of thousands of dollars, and that ignores the quality-of-life difference.

A Neodent (Straumann group) titanium implant fixture, the threaded titanium root that gets surgically placed into the jaw, has a wholesale cost to the practice of roughly $200 to $400 depending on volume contracts. The custom abutment that connects the fixture to the crown adds another $150 to $250. The porcelain or zirconia crown, fabricated by a partner dental lab, ranges from $200 to $400. The full bill of materials for a single-tooth implant is therefore approximately $600 to $1,000 at the practice level. A clinic charging $4,500 or $6,000 for the same complete tooth is not buying better hardware; it is amortizing higher overhead, larger marketing spend, and corporate profit margins across the patient invoice. The hardware difference between a $1,999 implant and a $5,000 implant in this market is typically zero.
Apex's pricing structure is possible because the facility, the team, and the supply chain are optimized for one procedure family. General dental practices that offer implants alongside fillings, cleanings, and orthodontics carry the overhead of a multi-procedure operatory and a clinical staff trained to switch contexts every fifteen minutes. National implant chains carry the overhead of corporate executives, marketing budgets in the tens of millions, and per-location facility fees that have to be recovered across a relatively small surgical caseload per office. An implant-focused practice with a high implant volume, over twenty thousand placed at Apex under Dr. Badyal's surgical methodology, distributes the overhead across procedures rather than concentrating it in each one.
The same Neodent (Straumann group) implant fixtures used in $30,000 All-on-4 procedures at national chains. The same osseointegration biology, the same lifetime fixture warranty, the same three-to-six-month integration period before final prosthesis delivery. Full general anesthesia administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist rather than oral sedation under a dental license. CBCT imaging included with the consultation rather than billed as a separate $350 line item. The structural choices that define implant outcomes, fixture brand, surgical technique, anesthesia depth, imaging fidelity, are identical to what premium-priced clinics provide, because cutting any of them would compromise outcomes in measurable ways. The savings come from what is not on the bill: corporate overhead, celebrity marketing, and procedure-code-based fee schedules.
Implant decisions are easier with the details in front of you. These are the questions patients ask us most.
