Molar Implant Cost
in Phoenix, AZ
A molar implant and a front tooth implant start from the same published fee at Sonoran Dental Arts in Phoenix, $2,000–$2,400. The position alone does not change the price; the site does. Upper molars sit close to the sinus and sometimes need extra work, back teeth carry the chewing load, and front teeth put the effort into the crown. Dr. Taylor Field prices your exact tooth in writing after an exam.
Patients ask whether a molar implant costs more than a front tooth implant, and the honest answer is that the price list does not care where the tooth sits. The mouth does.
Both start from the same published fee at Sonoran Dental Arts. What moves the final number is what the site needs, and Dr. Taylor Field prices your exact tooth in writing after an exam.

Molar or front tooth, the price arrives the same way: an exam, a 3D image, and one written estimate before anything starts.

Same Starting Fee, Different Sites
There is no molar surcharge on the fee schedule. Every implant here starts at the same published figure, $2,000–$2,400, and the final written price moves with what your site needs: the bone available, whether the old tooth still has to come out, and how close the anatomy around it sits. That is why two molars in two mouths can carry different prices while a molar and a front tooth in the same mouth might not.
What Makes a Back Tooth Its Own Case
Molars do most of the chewing, so a molar site often takes a wider implant than a front tooth would, sized to carry that load for decades. Upper molars add a second factor: the sinus sits close above them, and when too little bone height remains, the sinus floor is lifted to make room for the post. It is a known step with a known price, and it goes into the written estimate before treatment starts. The full list of what moves an implant quote is on the why implant cost changes page.
What Makes a Front Tooth Its Own Case
A front tooth shows every time you speak, so the work shifts from the surgery to the crown: matching the shade of its neighbors, shaping the gumline so the new tooth emerges naturally, and sometimes wearing a temporary while the implant fuses. The surgical site is often simpler than a molar's, and the crown gets the extra attention instead. Either way the whole tooth is quoted as one written price.
How Your Tooth Gets Priced
Dr. Field examines the site, takes a 3D image of the bone, and writes the whole sequence into one estimate. If the failing tooth still has to come out, that is listed in the same quote; a straightforward extraction here is $240–$340. Nothing begins until you have agreed to the figure. The per-tooth math itself, post, abutment, and crown, is laid out on the implant cost per tooth page.

Common questions
Does a molar implant cost more than a front tooth implant?
Both start from the same published fee, $2,000–$2,400, at Sonoran Dental Arts. The position alone does not raise the price; what the site needs does, and that is settled in a written estimate after an exam.
Why do upper molar implants sometimes cost more?
The sinus sits close above the upper molars. When too little bone height remains, the sinus floor is lifted to make room for the implant, and that step is priced into the written estimate before treatment starts.
Do molars need wider implants?
Often, yes. Molars carry most of the chewing load, so the post is sized for it. The width is chosen from the 3D image of your bone, and the written price reflects your exact case.
Are front tooth implants simpler?
The surgery often is, and the crown is not: a front tooth has to match its neighbors in shade and emerge naturally from the gumline, so the esthetic work shifts to the restoration.
When do I find out what my molar implant costs?
After the exam and 3D image, in writing. Nothing begins until you have agreed to the figure.
