Material and manufacturing
Implant-grade zirconia requires controlled formulation, milling, sintering, surface processing, and quality control.

What Do Ceramic Dental Implants Cost in New York?
A responsible implant fee covers the treatment plan, not only the fixture. CDIC offers free implant consultations with CBCT and provides a written, case-specific estimate before treatment.

What is separate?
Extraction, grafting, PRF or other adjuncts, a temporary tooth, and treatment of infection or tissue defects are separate unless the written estimate expressly includes them.
Compare scope, not slogans
Why can ceramic implant fees differ from titanium fees?
There is no universal “zirconia premium.” Two estimates may describe different treatment plans.
The exact system
CDIC uses SDS implants and system-specific components, instruments, and restorative workflows.
Surgical protocol
Position, dimensions, handling, one-piece or two-piece architecture, and healing protection affect planning.
Restorative complexity
The abutment, temporary restoration, laboratory work, and final crown or bridge can represent a large share of the fee.
Compare each proposal line by line. A lower quote may omit services included elsewhere, while a higher quote may describe a more complex plan.
Itemized estimates
What should an implant case fee include?
Ask for an itemized estimate even when the practice uses an all-in case fee. “All-in” should have a written definition.
| Component | What to confirm in writing |
|---|---|
| Consultation | Examination, records, treatment discussion, and CBCT imaging |
| Extraction | Simple or surgical removal, infection management, and site preservation |
| Grafting | Bone or sinus work, materials, membrane, and staged healing |
| Adjuncts | Whether PRF, ozone, or laser-assisted steps are included |
| Implant | Exact SDS component, surgical placement, and warranty terms |
| Abutment or connector | Whether it is integrated, included, or billed separately |
| Temporary tooth | Type, duration, repairs, and replacements |
| Final restoration | Material, laboratory work, delivery, and adjustments |
| Follow-up | Included checks and when included care ends |
Do not assume the abutment, temporary tooth, final crown, grafting, or follow-up is included because an advertisement says “implant.” Learn how to compare an itemized ceramic implant estimate.
Case-specific factors
What moves an implant fee up or down?
Number of implants
One tooth is usually simpler than a bridge or full arch. Several missing teeth do not always require one implant per tooth.
Bone and gum tissue
A narrow ridge, sinus proximity, infection, recession, or a defect may require bone grafting and PRF or staged healing.
Immediate or staged care
Immediate placement may reduce surgical stages when anatomy and stability allow. A difficult site may be safer when treated in stages.
Front-tooth esthetics
A visible tooth can require additional planning, temporary shaping, gum management, and custom laboratory work.
Full-arch design
Implant number, provisional teeth, bite design, laboratory records, and the final bridge shape affect complexity.
Retreatment
Removing a prior implant, controlling infection, rebuilding bone, or correcting position can add stages and uncertainty.
Treatment tiers
Single tooth, several teeth, and full arch
Single tooth
A single-tooth ceramic implant replacement generally includes one implant site and one final crown. Extraction, grafting, gum reconstruction, or a temporary tooth may add scope.
Several teeth
A multi-tooth plan may use individual implants, an implant-supported bridge, or a combination. Bone, bite, span length, hygiene access, and repair options shape the design and price.
Full arch
A fixed full-arch restoration carries the greatest surgical, laboratory, provisional, and maintenance complexity. CDIC provides a case-specific all-in estimate after the free consultation and CBCT.
Out-of-network care
Does CDIC accept dental insurance?
CDIC is an out-of-network practice and does not accept dental insurance as payment. The practice can complete a claim form for you, but your plan determines whether any out-of-network reimbursement is available.
Implants, grafts, abutments, temporary teeth, and crowns may be reviewed separately. “Covered” does not mean paid in full, and ceramic material may not receive a separate benefit.
Ask your insurer about out-of-network benefits and read the plan documents. See our guide to insurance coverage for ceramic implants.
Payment options
Membership, HSA, and FSA
CDIC Membership Savings Plan
The CDIC Membership Savings Plan costs $785 per year and provides 20% off the regular price of eligible treatment. Membership savings cannot be combined with another special. It is not dental insurance.
Both CDIC offices accept HSA and FSA payment cards. Account rules and treatment details control eligibility, so confirm with the plan administrator and retain your treatment plan and receipts.
Long-term ownership
The lowest quote may not be the lowest lifetime cost.
The first case fee is the acquisition cost. Long-term ownership may include professional maintenance, examinations, indicated imaging, home-care tools, a night guard, adjustment, restoration repair, crown or bridge replacement, and treatment of biological or mechanical complications.
The highest initial quote is not automatically the best value. Ask about cleanability, repairable parts, component supply, warranty exclusions, and expected maintenance. A difficult-to-service design can create future cost.
Use our guide to the lifetime cost of implant maintenance, repair, and replacement.
A real estimate
Get a complete all-in treatment price.
The only way to receive an accurate case fee is to complete a free implant consultation with examination and appropriate 3D imaging. Bring existing scans, treatment plans, and competing estimates. The team can explain whether the plans include the same procedures, system, temporary teeth, restoration, and follow-up.
CDIC charges the same fees at 120 Central Park South, Suite 1G, New York, NY 10019, and 2 Overhill Road, Suite 270, Scarsdale, NY 10583.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
How much is one ceramic dental implant in NYC?
CDIC’s current special is $5,895 for one SDS zirconia implant, the abutment, and the final crown. Other treatment is separate unless the written estimate includes it. The consultation and CBCT are free at either location.
Are zirconia implants more expensive than titanium implants?
They can be, but there is no universal difference. Manufacturing, implant system, surgery, laboratory work, restoration, and included services all affect the comparison.
Does an implant quote include the crown?
Not always. Some advertisements quote only surgical placement of the implant body. Ask whether the abutment, temporary tooth, final crown or bridge, laboratory work, adjustments, and follow-up are included.
How much does a full arch of zirconia implants cost?
Each full-arch case is priced individually because extractions, bone, implant number, provisional treatment, laboratory work, and final bridge design vary. CDIC provides a free consultation and CBCT followed by a case-specific, all-in treatment price.
Will dental insurance pay for ceramic implants?
CDIC is out of network and does not accept insurance as payment. The practice can complete a claim form for you, but your plan determines whether any out-of-network reimbursement is available.
Does the CDIC membership reduce the implant fee?
The membership costs $785 per year and provides 20% off the regular price of eligible treatment. Membership savings cannot be combined with another special. It is not dental insurance.
Can I use HSA or FSA money for dental implants?
Yes. Both CDIC offices accept HSA and FSA payment cards. Your account rules and treatment details still control eligibility, so confirm with the plan administrator and keep the treatment plan and receipts.
Why can the final fee change after a CBCT scan?
A CBCT can reveal bone volume, sinus position, infection, defects, and nearby anatomy that are not clear from a basic examination. Those findings can change grafting, implant dimensions, timing, or the restorative plan.
