If you are researching dental implants in Sacramento, you have probably noticed that prices can look all over the map. That does not mean anyone is hiding the ball. It usually means two people are not being quoted the same treatment plan.
At Global Smiles Sacramento, Dr. Lilliana Stojic and our team see the same pattern: patients want a straight answer, but the real answer depends on a few clinical details that only show up after an exam and imaging.
Implant cost is not just "the implant." Your price changes based on how many teeth you are replacing, what condition the bone and gums are in, and what type of final tooth (or denture) you need.
For a clinical overview of how implants work and what they can replace, visit our page on dental implants in Sacramento.
Many "price" conversations get confusing because people use the word "implant" to mean different things. In dentistry, tooth replacement often includes multiple components, and your plan may include some or all of the following:
A single missing tooth is often treated with one implant and one crown. If you are missing multiple teeth, you may need multiple implants, or in some cases a restoration that uses strategically placed implants to support several teeth. The number of teeth and the design of the final restoration can change the total significantly.
Not every patient needs bone grafting, but it is a common reason two implant quotes differ. If the bone in the area is too thin or has changed after tooth loss, a graft can help create a stable foundation for the implant. This is one of the biggest "it depends" factors, and it is exactly why a consultation matters.
If a tooth is still present and needs to be removed before an implant can be placed, that can affect the treatment sequence. Some patients may also need site preservation steps after extraction to support future implant placement.
If you are also weighing other restorative options for damaged teeth (not just missing teeth), our dental crowns page explains when a crown may be the right solution.
The final teeth you chew with are the restoration, and restorations are not one-size-fits-all. A single crown is different from an implant-supported bridge. Full-arch solutions (often discussed as implant-supported dentures) are a different category entirely, with different design and planning requirements.
If you are currently wearing a removable appliance or exploring full-tooth replacement, our page on dentures can help you compare traditional dentures and implant-supported options.
Implants need healthy gums and supportive bone. If gum disease or active infection is present, it may be recommended to address that first. This is not about "upselling," it is about long-term stability.
Our team often sees that patients who have delayed replacing a missing tooth can develop shifting or bite changes over time. In our experience, getting evaluated sooner makes it easier to map out options clearly, even if you decide to phase treatment over time.
The consult is where we move from generic ranges to a specific plan. Typically, we evaluate:
If you are looking for a dental home beyond implants, our general dentistry page outlines the ongoing care that helps protect your investment long-term.
The "right" implant cost is the one tied to a plan that fits your mouth, your goals, and your long-term health. If you want a clear estimate and a straightforward explanation of options, schedule an implant consultation with our team.

Patient Testimonials
Beautiful office, friendly staff, terrific dental care.
by Trevor Derrett
Had a great visit today and got to know the people that work there. They made me feel comfortable as the change of ownership is taking place.
by Bonnie Schrader
I am so impressed with the entire experience. From the friendly reminders, to entering the office, and especially the dentist! My previous dentist Stephen C Ott, DDS, was incredible. I had the benefits of his gift since 1971. I was worried about finding a new dentist. However, I was blessed to have Dr. Ott recommend his dentist: Dr. Lillian Stojic. I recommend her to all!!!

I've been seeing dr stojic since I moved to town 18 years ago, my whole family has transitioned over there and I love the whole team! Keep up the great work!

Dr. Lilliana and her staff make getting teeth cleaned and a cavity filled as good an experience as possible. They get the job done with minimal pain and discomfort.

I just had a visit to Dr. Stojic's office. My ten year old daughter had an infected tooth that had to be extracted. She was so nervous and scared at the possibility of an extraction. When we arrived we were greeted warmly by her office manager and then by her equally kind assistant who brought us back to her room...

Dr. Lilliana and her staff are not only effective and efficient, but they also remove my anxiety. When I had to have a root canal, I was nervous about the pain. I was given the choice of Nitrous oxide gas and that calmed me.
by Gail M.
Dr. Stojic saw two of my children. The youngest was so comforted by her easygoing and confident demeanor that he was the quietest and most still 4 year old I've seen in a dentist chair! Our older son was very afraid of the dentist and has been to a couple other dentists who were unable to treat him because of his scared behavior. Dr. Stojic was very patient and helped him understand what she was doing at every step, which calmed him down so she was able to fill his cavities and even extract a tooth. We were thoroughly impressed with Dr. Stojic and her office and staff.
