【Dental Implant Pricing】Detailed Breakdown of Surgical and Component Fees
Understanding the cost is crucial before embarking on dental implant treatment. However, dental implants are not standardized commodities; their pricing is heavily influenced by factors such as bone condition, nerve location, and the required implant brand. Therefore, dentists cannot provide a confirmed final fee without a face-to-face consultation and thorough examination.
This article references industry benchmark pricing data to help you understand the itemized costs associated with dental implant surgery.

Why This Fee Schedule Matters
The official data above indicates that the reasonable market price range for a complete implant treatment (performed by a registered dentist) typically starts at around HK$30,000. This clearly reveals the fundamental cost structure of dental implants:
- Surgical Fee ($17,600+): This component reflects the cost of a sterile surgical setting, the surgeon’s skill, and the implant fixture itself.
- Crown Restoration Fee ($11,200+): High-quality crowns and bridges require precise laboratory work and occlusal design, a value comparable to the surgery itself.
- The Devil in the Detail – “Bone Graft” ($6,000+): The fee schedule clearly lists “Bone Grafting” as a separate charge. This means if your jawbone condition is insufficient, the total fee will increase.

Key Factors Affecting Dental Implant Pricing
Beyond the basic items shown in The PPDH fee schedule, the final price of a dental implant procedure is primarily determined by the following four core factors. These factors can only be accurately assessed via a face-to-face consultation and 3D CT scan:
1. Implant Brand (The Fixture)
This is the most significant factor contributing to price variation.
- Premium Brands: Such as Straumann (Swiss) or Nobel Biocare (US/Swedish). These brands have decades of history, extensive clinical data, and long-term warranties. Their high R&D cost translates to a higher price, but they offer maximum stability and success rates.
- Value Brands: Primarily Korean or Israeli brands. These are more budget-friendly and suitable for patients with good bone conditions, though they generally have less extensive long-term clinical data.
2. Need for Ancillary Surgical Procedures
If your jawbone is insufficient, the surgeon needs to perform supplementary procedures to rebuild the bone, which incurs significant additional costs.
- Bone Grafting: Used to restore inadequate bone width or height.
- Sinus Lift: Specifically for the upper back jaw area, to prevent the implant from penetrating the sinus cavity.
- Periodontal Treatment: If gum disease is present in the implant area, it must be thoroughly controlled first, which constitutes an additional fee.
3. Crown Material and Lab Fees
The crown is the visible part of the implant, and its material affects aesthetics, durability, and cost.
- All-Ceramic Crown (Zirconia): The current standard material, offering high strength, excellent biocompatibility, and the best aesthetic results, making it the highest priced option.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crown (PFM): Lower priced, but may show a dark metal line near the gum over time, affecting aesthetics.
- Technician Standard: The precision of the crown design and the quality of the dental lab used will also influence the final restorative fee.
4. Surgeon’s Expertise and Experience
The expertise of your surgeon is key to the success of the implant.
- Specialist Qualification: Procedures performed by registered Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons or Prosthodontic Specialists generally incur higher fees than those by general dentists.
- Clinical Experience: Extensive experience in handling complex, high-risk, or full-arch rehabilitation cases is reflected in a higher consultation and surgical fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do some quote an ultra-low price for implants?
These extremely low prices typically stem from two main reasons:
- Incomplete Billing: The price may only cover the most basic surgical fee, excluding the cost of the “Implant Crown” ($11,000+), “Pre-surgical Check-up” (3D CT), “Temporary Denture,” or the crucial “Bone Grafting/Sinus Lift Fees.” The total cost will escalate once the treatment starts.
- Implant Brand and Quality Risk: Extremely low-priced implants may use brands that lack international certification, have a short history, or lack clinical data, raising concerns about long-term success rates and stability.
We advise you to carefully ask if the quote is an “all-inclusive” price (covering surgery, crown, and all necessary procedures).
2. If the implant fails, will there be an extra charge for a redo?
Premium implant brands (like Straumann or Nobel Biocare) have extremely high success rates, but all surgeries carry potential risks. Our treatment typically includes a specific period of implant warranty. If failure occurs within the warranty period due to the quality of the implant itself, the clinic will manage the required procedure. However, if the failure is due to the patient’s poor oral hygiene or severe medical conditions, additional fees for repair or redo may apply. Specific warranty details will be provided in writing during the consultation.
3. Can I choose the materials (implant and crown) myself?
Yes, during our consultation service, the dentist will present you with multiple internationally certified implant brands (e.g., Swiss Straumann, American Nobel Biocare, etc.) based on your oral condition and budget. For the crown, we will also explain the pros, cons, and price differences of various materials (like all-ceramic and porcelain-fused-to-metal), ensuring your choice meets both aesthetic requirements and functional needs.
