National Base Restorative Procedure Ranges
Unweighted national baseline parameters (DPCI = 1.00×) before regional overhead, surgical complexity, and prosthetic material calibrations. Derived from public fee disclosures and BLS CPI dental inflation.
| Procedure | Low End | High End |
|---|---|---|
| Single-tooth implant (All-in) | $3,000 | $6,000 |
| Implant denture (per arch) | $8,000 | $16,000 |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | $18,000 | $36,000 |
| All-on-6 (per arch) | $24,000 | $45,000 |
| Full mouth (both arches) | $35,000 | $90,000 |
Dental Practice Cost Index (DPCI) Econometric Codebook
State-level economic multipliers calibrated against U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Regional Price Parities and BLS CPI Dental Services Series CUUR0000SEMC02. Baseline = 1.00× (U.S. National Average).
Looking for patient pricing? For clinical retail quotes (Single Tooth, All-on-4, Full Mouth) across every state, visit the consumer guide.
* Variance reflects deviation of regional practice overhead from the national median (1.00×). For individual patient treatment cost estimates including CDT-code allowances and materials, visit each state profile or the 50-state consumer pricing directory.
