SmileCost Research Team

The SmileCost Research Team compiles and validates US dental implant price estimates using ADA fee surveys, Bureau of Economic Analysis regional data, and publicly available insurer fee schedules. We publish educational ranges so patients can compare itemized quotes — not diagnoses or treatment plans. Every major methodology change is dated on the data-sources page.
