Dental Implant Cost in Pakistan: What You'll Actually Pay in 2026

A single dental implant with a crown in Pakistan usually costs between PKR 150,000 and 380,000, depending on the implant brand and whether your case needs bone grafting. A basic fixture on its own starts lower, from around PKR 80,000. The gap between those numbers isn't marketing — it reflects real differences in the titanium going into your jaw and the hands placing it. Below is the full breakdown, so you can walk into any consultation knowing what a fair quote looks like.

Dental implant prices in Pakistan (2026 table)

Here's what implant treatment costs at our clinic, laid out plainly. These are indicative ranges. Your own number lands somewhere inside them once we've seen your bone, your bite, and the tooth we're replacing.

Prices are indicative ranges at Dental Specialists, DHA Phase 6, Lahore, current as of July 2026. Your exact treatment plan and cost are confirmed after clinical examination. Prices may change without notice.

At Dental Specialists in DHA Phase 6, Lahore, a single implant with crown ranges from PKR 150,000 to 380,000, and that figure already covers bone grafting in cases that need it. That last point matters more than it sounds, and I'll come back to it. You can also read how the whole procedure unfolds in our step-by-step guide to the dental implant process.

What's actually included in the price?

This is where quotes get slippery. When a clinic says "implant — PKR 90,000," ask one question: is the crown in that number, or not? A dental implant is really three parts. The fixture is the titanium screw that replaces the tooth root. The abutment is the small connector on top. The crown is the visible tooth you actually chew and smile with.

A fixture-only price looks attractive on a poster. Then the crown, the abutment, the scans, and sometimes the grafting get added on later, and the real total climbs well past what you were first told. We price the implant-with-crown as one figure on purpose, so the number you hear at consultation is close to the number you pay.

Our implant cases run through a three-dentist team, and that's part of what the price buys. Our maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Ali Ammar Hassan, places the implant and handles any grafting or sinus work. I restore it with the crown, and Dr. Sarwar Naseer finishes the aesthetics so it blends with your other teeth. One surgeon guessing his way through a tricky case is not the same product as a planned, staged one.

What makes one implant cost more than another?

Four things move the price. Worth knowing all of them before you compare quotes.

The implant brand. This is the single biggest driver. Budget Korean-made systems sit at the lower end. Premium Swiss and German brands like Straumann sit at the top, and they charge for decades of published research and surface technology that helps the bone fuse faster and more reliably. Both can work beautifully. But a bargain fixture from an unproven manufacturer is a real gamble, and independent studies have linked unbranded components to markedly higher failure rates over five years.

Case complexity. A straightforward single tooth in healthy bone is one price. A front tooth in the smile zone, where the gum line has to look natural, takes more planning. Multiple teeth cost more in total but often less per tooth.

Whether you need grafting. More on this next, because it's the line item people never see coming.

Who's doing the surgery. A general dentist with a weekend implant course and a specialist surgeon who places implants every week are not charging for the same thing. Implant surgery is millimetre work. An error of one or two millimetres shows up years later as a problem, not a saving.

Bone grafting and sinus lifts: the hidden line item

Here's the myth I correct almost weekly: patients assume that if they have a gap, an implant can just go straight in. Often it can. But when a tooth has been missing for a year or more, the jawbone in that spot starts to shrink, because there's no root left to stimulate it. Sometimes there isn't enough bone left to hold an implant securely.

That's when a bone graft comes in. Graft material is packed into the thin area, and over a few months your body grows real bone around it. How common is this? Research suggests roughly one in every three to five implant patients needs some form of bone augmentation first. So it's routine, not a rare disaster. A standalone graft at our clinic starts from PKR 25,000.

A sinus lift is a specific kind of graft for the upper back jaw. The sinus cavities sit right above those molars, and after tooth loss the sinus can drop down into the space where bone used to be. To place an implant there, the surgeon gently lifts the sinus floor and adds bone underneath. That ranges from PKR 55,000 to 160,000 depending on how much is needed. Grafted sites need healing time, per NHS guidance usually three to six months, before the implant work continues.

This is exactly why our implant-with-crown price folds in grafting where a case needs it. A quote that looks cheaper up front, then bolts on a graft you weren't warned about, isn't cheaper. It's just less honest about the timeline.

Full-arch options: All-on-4 and All-on-6

If you're missing most or all of your teeth in a jaw, replacing them one implant at a time makes no sense financially or clinically. Full-arch solutions solve this. All-on-4 anchors a fixed set of teeth on four implants per arch and ranges from PKR 650,000 to 1,500,000. All-on-6 adds two more implants for extra support and spreads chewing forces more evenly, running from PKR 980,000 to 1,950,000 per arch.

Which one suits you comes down to your bone volume and bite. Patients who clench or grind, or who have softer bone, sometimes do better with the six-implant version. It's a conversation, not a formula. Both give you fixed teeth you don't take out at night, which is the whole point for people tired of a loose denture.

Is a cheap implant really cheaper?

I want to be fair here, because "you get what you pay for" is a lazy sales line and I dislike it. Plenty of mid-range Korean implants are excellent and clinically proven. You do not need the most expensive brand on the market to get a great, lasting result.

What you should be wary of is the very bottom of the market. An unbranded fixture with no long-term data, placed quickly by someone without much implant experience, is where trouble hides. And when an implant fails, it rarely fails quietly. It can take surrounding bone with it, which means the redo is harder, longer, and dearer than the original would have been at a fair price. Well-placed, proven implants have a strong track record, with large reviews reporting ten-year survival in the region of 93 to 95 percent. That number depends heavily on getting the basics right the first time. If you ever suspect something's off after treatment, our guide to the signs of a failing dental implant is worth a read.

So the real question isn't "what's the cheapest implant?" It's "what's the cheapest implant that lasts fifteen years?" Those are different numbers.

Implant vs bridge vs denture: the money question

An implant costs more up front than a bridge or a denture. No argument there. But it's the only option that replaces the root as well as the tooth, which keeps the jawbone from shrinking and doesn't ask you to grind down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Over a decade or two, that changes the maths.

A denture is the lowest up-front cost and can be the right call in some situations. A bridge sits in the middle. An implant is the highest at the start and often the lowest over its full lifespan. If you're weighing these three, our detailed comparison of implant vs bridge vs denture walks through the trade-offs, and you can also see the full range of tooth replacement options at our DHA Phase 6 clinic.

Flexible payment options are available on select treatments — discuss with our team at consultation. And if you'd like to see how we place and restore implants day to day, our dental implants service page has the details.

The honest bottom line

Budget for a single implant with crown in the PKR 150,000 to 380,000 range, know that grafting may be part of the picture, and treat any quote far below that with healthy suspicion. The right price is the one that buys a proven implant, a skilled surgeon, and a plan that accounts for your bone before you're in the chair.
