A single dental implant starts around $1,700 with a dentist on Elena. That starting point is set by the procedure and the dentist, not by the city. Elena doesn’t print a market range next to it, because it has no figures for other clinics that it would stand behind; what this page gives you is what the price is made of and what moves it.

What makes up the price

Three parts: the titanium post that goes into the jawbone, the abutment that connects it to the visible tooth, and the crown on top. Some dentists bundle all three into one quoted price; others price the crown separately. Ask for the breakdown in writing before you book: a quote for placing the post alone and a quote that bundles the post, the abutment, the crown, the surgery and the follow-up visits are not the same thing. Elena’s from-$1,700 figure covers a single implant with its crown; your dentist confirms your number once they’ve reviewed your case.

What raises the price

A bone graft if the jaw doesn’t have enough density where the post goes, priced separately. More than one tooth, which multiplies the per-implant cost. And the crown material, porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-ceramic. None of this is unusual, and all of it belongs in the quote.

Where the dentists on Elena are today

In Cali. Elena has no published clinic in Bogotá or Medellín yet. If you’re considering a dentist in another city, send us the name and we’ll check the license, the training papers and the clinic’s registration for free, before you book.

Four things to check before any dental trip.

Same procedure, different outcomes, depending on who does it.

Check the license

An active ReTHUS registration in Colombia, looked up by the dentist's ID number, not a certificate on a wall.

Check the clinic

A REPS registration at the address where you'd be treated. Registration is self-declared, so it proves the clinic is in the system, not that anyone inspected it.

Get the quote in writing

Materials, number of visits, and what happens if something needs a redo.

Look at who's behind the reviews

A clinic's own feed proves little. Look for profiles and reviews that trace to the licensed name and address.

Questions about dental implants

info@getelena.com

What does a dental implant cost in Colombia?
Around $1,700 to start with a dentist on Elena. Elena doesn't publish a market range for other clinics in Colombia, because it has no numbers of its own to back one. Quotes differ mostly in what they include, so ask for the post, the abutment and the crown itemized in writing.
What should an implant quote itemize?
The post, the abutment, the crown and its material, the surgery, and the follow-up visits. If a quote only names the post, ask what the rest costs before you compare it to anything.
What can make a dental implant cost more?
A bone graft, replacing more than one tooth, and the crown material. Your dentist reviews your case and gives you a written number before you commit.
Why does the same implant cost less in Colombia than in the US?
Lower clinic and lab overhead, not cheaper materials. The dentists on Elena use the same major implant systems, including Straumann. Elena doesn't publish a US figure to compare against, because it has no source it would stand behind; send us your written US quote and we'll tell you how it compares.
