Short Answer
Dental work in China prices roughly 65–80% below US self-pay, procedure by procedure: an implant with crown $800–1,600 (vs $3,000–5,000), a porcelain veneer $250–500 per tooth (vs $1,000–2,500), a root canal with crown $300–700 (vs $1,500–3,000). Total cost then depends on procedure mix, imaging, materials, and how many visits the plan needs.
