Why an Implant Quote Moves
in Phoenix, AZ
A dental implant at Sonoran Dental Arts in Phoenix starts at $2,000, and a quote lands above that when the site needs work before an implant can go in. Dr. Field tells you before the work happens, not after, and your exact price comes in writing after an exam.
Dental implant in Phoenix
$2,000–$2,400
These are our starting fees for a straightforward case. Some treatment is more involved than it first looks — a tooth that needs building up before a crown, a site that needs grafting before an implant, decay that runs deeper than the x-ray suggested. When that happens the fee changes, and Dr. Field tells you before the work happens, not after. You get your exact price in writing after an exam, and nothing begins until you have agreed to it.
Ask for the Whole Sequence in Writing
An exam is what turns a starting fee into your actual price. You get it in writing before treatment.

The bone has to be there
An implant is held by bone, not by the gum. A tooth that has been gone for years takes some of that bone with it, and a thin site has to be built back up before a post will hold. Grafting is the single most common reason a quote comes back above $2,000.
Upper back teeth are their own case
The sinus sits close above the upper molars. Where there is too little height between the two, the floor of the sinus is lifted to make room for the implant. It is a known step with a known price, so it belongs in the estimate rather than in a conversation halfway through treatment.
The old tooth may still be in the way
If the tooth is still in place it has to come out first, and that is a separate fee, $240–$340. Whether the site can then take an implant straight away or needs healing time is something the exam answers.
Why the number comes first
Because the alternative is a bill nobody agreed to. The estimate arrives after the exam, in writing, and treatment waits for your yes. That is the whole reason the fee on this site is described as a starting fee rather than a price.
Full implant pricing is on the dental implant cost page, and the implant and bridge comparison covers the other way to fill the gap.
Common questions
Why is my implant quote higher than the price on the website?
The site almost certainly needs work first, most often a bone graft. $2,000 is the starting fee for a straightforward case.
Does a bone graft cost extra?
Yes, and it is priced in the written estimate before treatment starts.
Will I be told before the extra work happens?
Yes. Dr. Field tells you before, not after, and nothing begins until you have agreed to it.
Does an extraction cost extra if the tooth is still there?
Yes, a tooth extraction is $240–$340 and it is listed in the same estimate.
