Single tooth implants in Tampa

Last verified: September 17, 2026 · Consumer information only, not medical advice

The short version: a single-tooth implant in the Tampa area typically runs $3,000-$6,000 complete: the implant (the titanium post), the abutment (the connector), and the crown. Many advertised prices quote the implant alone, around $1,500-$2,500, which is a third of the finished tooth. The process runs three to six months from placement to final crown, and for a single missing tooth it is often the treatment general dentists are best set up to do.

The three parts, and why quotes differ

Component	Typical Tampa range	Often quoted separately
Implant placement (surgery)	$1,500-$2,500	Yes, this is the "from $1,499" number
Abutment	$400-$800	Often
Crown	$1,000-$2,500	Often; material matters
Extraction, if needed	$150-$500	Usually
Bone graft, if needed	$400-$1,500	Usually
CT scan	$150-$400	Sometimes included

Implant or bridge?

A single implant preserves the neighboring teeth (a bridge grinds them down as anchors) and keeps bone in the socket. A three-unit bridge is cheaper up front ($2,500-$5,000 in Tampa), faster (weeks, not months), and reasonable when the neighbors already have crowns. The honest answer depends on the neighbors, the bone, and your timeline; a provider who only ever recommends one of the two is answering a different question than yours.

Who does single implants well

For a straightforward single implant with good bone, an implant-trained general dentist who also makes the crown is often the simplest route: one clinician, one bill. For a front tooth (where gum shape and crown shade matter most), for cases needing grafting, or where bone is thin, a periodontist or oral surgeon placing the implant with a restoring dentist building the crown is the common specialist pairing. Either way, ask how many single implants the person has placed and how many needed a redo. See choosing a provider.
