At Kanaka Creek Family Dental in Maple Ridge, dental implants start at $3,000, with the final fee depending on your case — how much bone you have, whether a tooth needs removing first, and the type of restoration on top. We follow the BC Dental Fee Guide and don't charge above it.
Implant pricing confuses people for a good reason: quotes from different clinics often aren't measuring the same thing. Here's what shapes the cost, and the questions worth asking before you commit anywhere.
How Much Does a Dental Implant Cost in Maple Ridge?
Implants at our Maple Ridge clinic start at $3,000. A straightforward single implant with a standard crown sits near the lower end. Cases needing bone grafting, an extraction, a sinus procedure, or a full-arch solution cost more, because there's more treatment involved.
You'll get an exact figure in writing after a consultation and 3D CBCT scan — before any treatment starts.
Why Implant Quotes Vary So Much
A dental implant isn't one item; it's three: the implant post placed in the bone, the abutment that connects it, and the crown on top. Some advertised prices cover only the post. That's how a headline number can look dramatically lower while the final invoice lands in the same place or higher, once the missing components and any groundwork are added.
It's not necessarily anyone being deceptive — it's just that there's no standard for what a quoted implant price includes. So compare like for like.
Questions Worth Asking Any Clinic
- Does this price include the implant, abutment and crown — or only part of it?
- Is 3D imaging and treatment planning included? Placing an implant without a CBCT scan means less information about bone, nerves and sinuses.
- Which implant system do you use? Established brands have decades of research behind them and readily available parts if a component ever needs servicing years later.
- What happens if bone grafting turns out to be necessary — is that quoted now or added later?
- Where is the crown made, and from what?
- Do you bill at the BC Dental Fee Guide?
What You're Paying For
An implant is meant to last decades, so the components and the planning matter more than almost anything else in dentistry. At our clinic that includes:
- 3D CBCT planning on every case — we map bone volume, nerve position and sinus proximity before we begin, not during.
- Quality implant systems and materials — well-documented titanium implants and strong, natural-looking ceramics, chosen for longevity rather than lowest cost.
- An in-house lab — our CEREC milling and SprintRay 3D printer let us produce precise restorations and surgical guides on site, which means better fit and fewer visits.
- One team, start to finish — planning, placement and the final crown handled in one place.
- Sedation options for patients who want them.
Implants have some of the highest long-term success rates in dentistry — over 95% at ten years when properly placed and maintained. Getting the foundation right is what protects that.
Does Insurance or the CDCP Help?
Coverage varies. Some plans contribute to the crown but not the surgical placement; others exclude implants entirely but cover a bridge or denture alternative. The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers a range of services with implant coverage being limited and case-dependent. We'll run a predetermination through your provider so you see your real out-of-pocket number, and flexible payment options are available.

Dental Implant Cost FAQs
- How much does a dental implant cost?
Implants start at $3,000 at our Maple Ridge clinic, and your exact fee depends on your case — bone volume, whether an extraction or graft is needed, and the restoration type. We bill at the BC Dental Fee Guide with no upcharge, and you get the figure in writing before treatment.
- Why is another clinic's advertised price lower?
Check what it includes. An implant is a post, an abutment and a crown — some quotes cover only the post, and groundwork like bone grafting may be added later. Ask for an all-inclusive written quote so you're comparing the same thing.
- Is 3D imaging included?
Yes. Every implant case here is planned on a CBCT 3D scan, and the scan is included free with your implant consultation.
- Will insurance cover any of it?
Often partly. Some plans cover the crown but not placement; some cover alternatives instead. We'll run a predetermination with your provider so you know your real cost before deciding.
- How long do implants last?
Over 95% are still successful at ten years when properly placed and maintained. The post itself can last a lifetime; the crown may need replacing after 10–15 years. Learn more about implants here.
