If you’re pricing a single tooth implant around Spring Hope, Rocky Mount, or Nashville, you’ve probably noticed the numbers never quite add up: the price in the ad and the price on the treatment plan are two different animals. At Spring Hope Family Dentistry, Dr. Elie Abboud replaces single teeth with two defined packages, both published right here, both including everything.
Why Replace One Missing Tooth at All
A single gap does more damage than it looks like it’s doing. The neighboring teeth start drifting into the space, the tooth above or below it grows longer without an opposing tooth to meet, and the bone that held the missing root begins to shrink within the first year. What starts as one missing molar quietly becomes a bite problem, a food trap, and eventually a harder case to fix. Replacing the tooth with an implant stops all of that. Unlike a bridge, it does it without touching the healthy teeth on either side.
The Two Packages
Your 3D scan sorts your case into one of these two packages, objectively, before you commit a dollar to treatment. This is the only page on our site where we itemize, and we do it for one reason: to show you what “everything included” actually means.
Implant + Crown Package: $4,999 ($3,999 for VIP members)
For patients whose tooth is already out and whose bone is ready. The scan confirms it. Includes:
- The implant itself, a Neodent implant from the Straumann Group, our primary system
- The custom abutment (the connector piece many offices bill as a surprise line item)
- Your custom ceramic crown, shade-matched to your smile
- Every visit, adjustment, and follow-up along the way
Complete Replacement Package: $5,999 ($4,799 for VIP members)
For patients whose tooth is still in place: broken, cracked, or failing. Everything above, plus:
- The extraction, whether it turns out simple or surgical
- Bone grafting at the time of extraction to preserve the socket
- A membrane if your case needs one
- Whatever your case needs inside this package. The number doesn’t change.
That last line is the whole point. Other offices show a “starting at” price that grows once grafts, membranes, and extractions get added. We don’t do that. After your scan, you get one exact number in writing. It never changes after we start.
How the $99 Consult Sorts Your Case
The sorting isn’t a judgment call. It’s anatomy. At your consultation, Dr. Abboud takes a 3D CBCT scan of your jaw. Tooth already gone with solid bone: you’re the $4,999 package. Tooth still present: you’re the $5,999 package, and everything the extraction side of the job requires is already inside that price. You leave the visit with your exact number in writing, and the $99 consultation fee is credited toward your treatment.
Dr. Abboud’s Take
“Everyone’s had the experience of being quoted one price and billed another. Patients hate it, and I don’t blame them. That’s the whole reason the packages exist: I wanted this to be as easy and straightforward as it can possibly be. The scan tells us which package you are, you get your number in writing, and that’s the number.”

Why Not Just Get a Bridge?
Sometimes a bridge is the right answer, and we place plenty of them. But a traditional bridge requires grinding down the two healthy teeth next to the gap to serve as anchors. You’re spending two good teeth to replace one bad one. A bridge also sits above the gum, so the bone underneath keeps shrinking. An implant preserves the neighbors and the bone. If several teeth in a row are missing, an implant bridge can replace them without touching your natural teeth at all. We’ll give you the honest comparison for your specific mouth at the consult, including when the cheaper option is genuinely the better one.
What the Timeline Looks Like
Most single implants take about 3 to 5 months from consultation to final crown. The implant heals under the gum for 6 to 12 weeks while the bone fuses to it. Most patients are back to normal life the next day and forget it’s there. Then the abutment and crown go on, and you’re done. The full step-by-step is on our implant process page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a single tooth implant cost in the Spring Hope area?
Here, exactly $4,999 if your tooth is already out and your bone is ready, or $5,999 if the tooth still needs to come out, with extraction, grafting, and membrane included. Implant, abutment, and crown are in both prices. VIP Plan members pay $3,999 and $4,799.
What if surgery reveals I need a graft or membrane. Does my price change?
No. That’s the promise. Your scan sorts you into a package before you commit, and inside your package the price never moves, no matter what we find.
My tooth has been gone for years. Can I still get an implant?
Usually, yes. Bone does shrink over time, but between grafting and careful placement planning, most long-standing gaps can still be restored. The 3D scan gives you a definitive answer in about 20 minutes.
Will the crown look like a real tooth?
That’s the standard. Your crown is custom-shaded and shaped to match its neighbors. Most people can’t pick out which tooth is the implant, even up close.
How long will an implant last?
With good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, implants routinely last decades. The crown on top may need replacement someday like any dental work, but the implant itself is built to stay.
Your $99 Implant Consultation, Credited Toward Treatment
Your consultation includes a full exam, a 3D CBCT scan of your jaw, and your exact package price in writing. The $99 fee is credited in full toward your treatment, so if you move forward, the consultation costs you nothing. We charge for it because implant planning is real diagnostic work, and it keeps the visit focused on people who are serious about fixing their smile.
