Dental Implants in Albuquerque

3 clinics · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

A dental implant replaces a missing tooth with three parts that may be priced together or separately: the implant post, the abutment and the crown. That three-part structure is the main thing to understand when comparing quotes - an advertised implant price sometimes covers only the post, so always ask whether the abutment and crown are included. Practices listed here range from general dentists who place implants to specialists such as periodontists, oral surgeons and prosthodontists. Extra line items like 3D imaging, extractions or bone grafting can appear on a quote depending on the case, which is why written, itemized estimates are the only reliable way to compare. Confirm the all-in price at a consultation with a licensed dentist.

FAQ

Dental Implants in Albuquerque - common questions

How many clinics offer dental implants in Albuquerque? +
Tooth Compass lists 3 dental clinics offering dental implants in Albuquerque, NM, ranked by Google review volume.
Who has the best-rated dental implants in Albuquerque? +
By Google review volume, Stephen H. Christiansen, D.D.S is the most-reviewed dental implants clinic in Albuquerque (4.5★, 84 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
How much does a single dental implant cost? +
Typically $3,000-6,500 all-in for the implant, abutment and crown. Advertised prices sometimes cover only the implant post, and items like imaging, an extraction or bone grafting can add to a quote. Ask for a written, itemized estimate at a consultation with a licensed dentist.
How do I choose an implant dentist? +
Compare itemized quotes from two or three consultations, ask how many implant cases the practice handles per year, and check Google review counts. Whether it's a general dentist, periodontist or oral surgeon, the office should map out the full treatment plan and total cost in writing.
How long does the dental implant process take? +
Plan for multiple visits over several months - implant placement and the final crown are usually separate appointments spaced apart. The exact timeline depends on the case, so ask each practice to lay out the visit schedule alongside the quote.
How much do dental implants cost in Albuquerque? +
A single dental implant (implant, abutment and crown) in Albuquerque typically runs $2,700-$5,800. Full-arch All-on-4 treatment usually starts around $14,000-$16,000 per arch. Confirm the itemized total at a consultation.
Should I compare Albuquerque quotes with Mexico dental tourism? +
Some New Mexicans price border clinics, but the honest comparison includes travel for multiple visits, managing complications remotely and warranty on failed implants. Albuquerque's own pricing is low enough that the local all-in cost is often competitive once follow-up care is counted.
How do I choose an implant dentist in Albuquerque? +
Verify a periodontist, prosthodontist or oral surgeon handles placement, expect CT/3D imaging, and get an itemized quote covering implant, abutment, crown and any grafting. Northeast Heights practices carry the deepest review histories.
