With a dental discount plan, a single implant typically estimates $1,800–$3,600 on our 2026 cost index, versus $4,500 cash (range $3,000–$6,000). Careington member pricing typically shows 15-25% off. That is one tooth, not a full-arch package, and it is an illustrative estimate rather than a quote.
| Item | Typical retail | National average | Typical with plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single implant (post + abutment + crown) | $3,000–$6,000 | $4,500 | $1,800–$3,600 |
People search both "without insurance" and "with a dental discount plan." The cash-price page is how much do implants cost without insurance. Coverage wording lives on does Careington cover implants and braces and does 1Dental cover implants.
On this site's 2026 cost index, the same single-implant line that averages $4,500 cash estimates $1,800–$3,600 after a 20-60% discount band. Careington published member pricing typically shows 15-25% off, often $450-$1,000 off one implant versus $3,000–$6,000 retail.
No. A discount plan is a membership. You pay the dentist a reduced fee. There is no claim, no annual maximum, and no waiting period on Careington 500 or 1Dental Care 500. Insurance often excludes implants or burns the annual cap on one tooth.
Yes. 1Dental Care 500 runs on the same Careington network, so implant discounts follow that fee schedule at participating dentists. See the 1Dental implant answer for that wording.
The without-insurance URL is a separate page. Both pages use the same cost-index row. This one answers the discount-plan wording.
