Dental Implants Cost in Woodbridge - Everything You Need to Know
When Ravi first walked through the front doors of Maple Dental Health, he was greeted by the soft hum of the fish tank in the waiting room and the faint scent of mint from our custom hand-sanitizer stations. He’d been wearing a removable partial denture for years after losing a molar in a bicycle accident. Every breakfast felt like a negotiation: would his denture slip when he bit into toast? He was ready for something more reliable — but he needed to understand what the numbers on that treatment plan really meant.
Over the next few pages, we’ll share how we break down dental-implant costs for people just like Ravi. No surprises, no jargon. You’ll see the little details that add up, the moments where a patient’s life quietly shifts, and how our team in Woodbridge makes the process as clear as your new smile will be.
From Consultation to Number One on Your Maple Dental Chart
On the day Ravi sat down with Dr. Carly Gordon, our implant specialist, he asked about the single-tooth solution first. “I just want to chew without worrying,” he said, tapping his coat pocket where his denture lived when he wasn’t wearing it.
Dr. Gordon pulled up his 3D scan on the touchscreen display, her stylus tracing the dark shadow where bone density had thinned. “We could place a titanium post here,” she explained, pointing to a spot just under the cheekbone. “Then a healing cap for three months, and finally a crown matched to your enamel shade.” She clicked to show him comparative cost ranges — not as bullet points, but as gently waving bars on a chart, each shaded to show low-complexity cases versus ones needing extra work.
Ravi nodded. The bottom line? A single implant — from surgery to crowning — would range between $3,200 and $5,800 in our office, depending on whether he needed a small bone graft. He left that day with two things: a clear figure and a confident sense that he understood what he was paying for.
Why Prices Vary from Patient to Patient
We hear it all the time: “I saw one website say $3,000; another said $6,000. Which is it?” The truth lives in the details.
- Your jaw’s story. If you’ve gone years without a tooth, bone can shrink. Grafting adds time and cost — sometimes $700, sometimes $1,900, depending on graft type.
- Choosing your materials. A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown is sturdy and handsome, but zirconia crowns — brighter, metal-free — carry a premium of a few hundred dollars.
- Technique and training. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Gordon, completed advanced implant fellowships. That level of expertise translates into fees you’ll happily pay when your surgery goes smoothly and your healing follows the plan.
- Lab craftsmanship. We work with Willow Creek Dental Lab next town over. Their technicians hand-craft each crown to our specifications. That artisan skill shows in fit and colour, and it’s baked into the lab fee.
Rather than lumping everything into one surprise number, we give you a line-item estimate: implant post, abutment, crown, graft (if needed), scans, surgical time and follow-up visits. When you see your quote, you’ll know exactly why each line exists — and which parts you could adjust if you wanted to save.

Here’s what a typical single‑tooth implant package might look like in Woodbridge.

| Bone graft (if needed) | $700 – 1,900 |
| 3D scan + X‑rays | $200 – 350 |

When One Implant Becomes Many: Bridges and Full-Arch Options
Table 2: Single Implant vs. Bridge vs. All‑on‑4
Compare total investment, number of surgeries, and typical timeline.
| Option | # of Implants | Approx. Cost (CAD) | Surgeries | Timeline to Final Teeth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Tooth | 1 | $3,200 – 5,800 | 1 | 4–6 months |
| Two‑Unit Bridge | 2 | $11,400 | 1–2 | 2–3 months |
| All‑on‑4 (single jaw) | 4 | $21,000 – 28,000 | 1–2 | 3 months |
A quick side‑by‑side helps readers pinpoint which solution best fits their budget and schedule.
Take Jenna, for instance. She arrived last fall after years of living with a gap where two premolars once were. A single implant on each side would have been fine, but she asked, “Could we connect them with a bridge?”
Dr. Gordon measured Jenna’s bite dynamics and suggested two implants supporting a three-unit bridge. That solution cost Jenna $11,400 — a hair under half the price of four individual implants. She lost neither time nor function, and her bill reflected the reduced number of surgeries.
On the other end of the spectrum sits the full-arch restoration, often called “All-on-4.” Picture four implants angled precisely in your jaw, carrying an entire row of fixed teeth. For someone replacing 14 teeth, that approach can halve the cost and compress healing into one or two visits. In our clinic, a single-jaw All-on-4 package lands between $21,000 and $28,000, crowns included.
It isn’t for every patient, but for those trading loose dentures for a rock-solid smile, it’s a game changer. Mary, one of our long-time patients, smiles now with no daily denture routine. She says her coffee tastes better because she isn’t preoccupied with “clacking” her teeth together at the table.
Financing: Bridging Today’s Cost with Tomorrow’s Confidence
Most people don’t tuck away tens of thousands of dollars for future implants. We get it. That’s why Maple Dental Health offers flexible options:
- In-house payment plans stretching interest-free over six or twelve months
- Extended terms up to 60 months for larger full-arch cases, with low APRs
- Third-party lenders integrated right at reception, so you can compare offers in real time

When Ravi weighed the numbers, he chose a twelve-month plan. That broke his $4,200 single-implant package into predictable monthly payments — just $350 a month, same as his old car loan. He left with a firm handshake and a promise: “We’ll keep an eye on you every step of the way,” said our treatment coordinator, handing him a welcome folder filled with appointment cards.
Beyond Money: The Hidden Value of Implants
A price tag tells part of the story. Here’s the rest:
- Bone health. Implants mimic a tooth root, sending gentle pressure into your jawbone whenever you chew. That stimulus keeps the bone alive and prevents facial collapse.
- Speech confidence. No more worrying about slurred words or mumbling around a denture.
- Emotional lift. Many patients describe a quiet relief — an end to the self-consciousness around their smile. They laugh more freely, order foods they once avoided, and no longer plan conversations around their dental hardware.
Ravi, months into his healing, confessed he almost didn’t recognise his own profile in side-view photographs. His chin looked stronger. Friends told him he seemed more energetic. That ripple effect — beyond what money can measure — is why Dr. Gordon often says, “We’re not just replacing teeth. We’re restoring lives.”
Answers to Questions You Didn’t Know to Ask
“Will my insurance help?”
Call your plan administrator. Many cover 50 to 80 percent of surgical fees. Crowns and grafts often live under different codes — so verify those too. We submit claims electronically for you, but the final word lies with your insurer.
“How long will this take?”
Single implants: typically four to six months from placement to final crown. Bridges: two to three months. All-on-4: provisional teeth on day one, final prosthesis at three months.
“Is there pain?”
Modern sedation — laughing gas or light IV sedation — means most patients report only mild discomfort. Opioid-free protocols, favored at our clinic, keep side effects to a minimum.
“What if I slip up and chew on the wrong side?”
We give you clear instructions: soft diet for two weeks, no popcorn kernels. If you accidentally bite harder than advised, call us. We’ll check your implant site. It’s part of the care we include.
