Quick answer: A single dental implant with its final crown is commonly advertised around ₦800,000–₦2,500,000+ in Lagos private-clinic guides. The total can be higher if you need bone grafting, extraction, additional imaging or more complex restorative work. Final pricing requires an individual implant assessment.
What is included in a dental implant treatment?
A dental implant replaces the root portion of a missing tooth with an implant placed in the jaw bone. After healing, the implant supports a crown, bridge or denture. A single-tooth implant therefore involves both the surgical implant stage and the restorative tooth that is attached afterwards.
Smile on Dental describes single-tooth implant treatment as assessment and planning, implant placement, healing, then fitting the abutment and crown.

Why bone and gum health matter
An implant needs adequate support. If there is not enough bone at the planned site, bone grafting may be recommended before or around implant placement. Not everyone needs grafting, but when it is required it can add both cost and healing time.
Your general oral health also matters. Active gum disease and other problems may need attention before implant treatment begins.
How long does a dental implant take?
Implant treatment is usually staged rather than completed in one visit. Smile on Dental lists approximately 3–6 months from placement to final crown for a single-tooth implant. Some patients may need more time, especially if bone grafting or additional healing is required.
Implant vs bridge vs denture
Implants are one way to replace missing teeth, but they are not the only option. A bridge uses neighbouring teeth for support, while a denture is removable. The best option depends on the number of missing teeth, condition of surrounding teeth, bone, budget and your preferences.
