- Socket preservation: $300–$800 — at extraction site
- Block graft: $1,000–$2,500 — severe horizontal deficiency
- Sinus lift: $1,500–$3,000 — upper posterior jaw

Major grafts require 4–9 months healing before implant placement. Factor this delay into treatment planning and temporary tooth options.
