Short Answer
A single dental implant with crown costs $800–1,600 self-pay in China versus $3,000–5,000 US self-pay — roughly 65–70% less. The real comparison is what each quote contains (imaging, abutment, crown, grafting), how many visits each plan requires, and who handles follow-up if something loosens once you are home.
What Does It Cost? (China vs US, 2026)
| Procedure | China (self-pay) | US self-pay | W. Europe | Typical saving vs US |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dental implant + crown (single) | $800–1,600 | $3,000–5,000 | $1,800–3,000 | ~65–70% |
| Porcelain veneer (per tooth) | $250–500 | $1,000–2,500 | $600–1,400 | ~70–80% |
| Root canal + crown | $300–700 | $1,500–3,000 | $800–1,600 | ~75–80% |
