If you’re trying to keep the cost down and stay around North Loop/Crestview, I’d start with 38th Street Dental.

• Widner Elite Oral Surgery & Dental Implants — 1500 W 38th St #51, very close to your target area. They’re an oral-surgery/implant practice, so they’re worth calling for the surgical portion of an implant. Their proximity is a big plus, although I’d specifically ask for an all-in price.
• 38th Street Dental — 1500 W 38th St #56, essentially next door. They specifically handle single-tooth implants and restorations, and their dentists have substantial implant experience. They also offer CareCredit/LendingClub financing. 38th Street Dental 38th Street Dental
• 8118 Dental Professionals — 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd, right in the Crestview/North Austin area. They offer single-tooth implants and mention insurance assistance, so I'd get a quote here too.
• Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio — 7200 N Mopac #210. This is a periodontist/implant specialist and could be a good second opinion, particularly if you need a bone graft or have gum issues.

The budget angle

The biggest thing I'd watch out for is comparing apples to apples. An advertised "$1,600 implant" may mean only the implant placement, not the abutment and crown. One current Austin price database lists 38th Street Dental at $2,350 for implant placement, while other providers are lower, but the exact inclusions need to be confirmed. MarketCare

For comparison, a local Austin practice currently advertises $3,999 for a single implant including the implant body, abutment and crown. South Austin Dental Associates

So when you call, I'd ask:

“I need one missing tooth replaced with a dental implant. I'm paying out of pocket and trying to find the most affordable option. Can you give me the total price from extraction/implant through the final crown, including the CBCT, abutment, crown, and any bone grafting if needed?”

My first call would be 38th Street Dental, followed by Widner and 8118 Dental. Getting those three quotes should give you a pretty good sense of whether you're getting a reasonable price.

If you tell me which tooth it is (front/molar), whether it has already been extracted, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 cheapest realistic options near North Loop/Crestview and compare their likely total costs.

If you're specifically in the North Loop/Crestview area and trying to keep a single-tooth implant affordable, I’d start with 8118 Dental Professionals and Austin Dental Implants rather than driving across town just for a low advertised price.

My picks

1. 8118 Dental Professionals — best nearby option to call first
They're at 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd, very close to Crestview/North Loop, and they offer single-tooth implants. They also mention helping patients understand insurance coverage.
Call: (512) 452-8262

2. Austin Dental Implants — worth getting a price quote from
They're on N MoPac and specialize in implant treatment, including single-tooth implants. I'd specifically ask them for an all-in cash price rather than just the implant-post price.

3. Dr. Mike Williamson: Williamson Perio — if the case is complicated
He's a periodontist specializing in implants and bone/gum procedures. This would be my choice for a second opinion if you've been told you need a bone graft or have gum/bone issues, although it may not be the cheapest route.

One important budget tip

Don't compare prices based on the advertised "$899 implant" or similar numbers. One Austin practice advertises the implant itself at $899 but says the abutment and crown are additional. www.austintxdentalimplants.com

For comparison, another Austin implant practice currently advertises a $3,500 complete implant (implant + abutment + crown) special for new cash patients, while another advertises $3,999 including all three. riverparkdentalatx.com

So when you call, ask:

“What is your total out-of-pocket price for one single-tooth implant, including extraction if needed, bone graft if needed, implant placement, abutment, crown, scans, and all follow-up visits?”

That will make the quotes much easier to compare.

If it were my money, I'd call 8118 Dental Professionals first, then Austin Dental Implants for a competing quote. If you tell me whether the tooth is already missing, needs to be extracted, or is still there but failing, I can narrow this down further and look for the cheapest credible option within ~10 minutes of Crestview.

If budget is the priority and you want to stay around North Loop/Crestview, I’d approach this as a price-shopping exercise rather than automatically going with the closest implant specialist.

My first calls

1. Union Dental Implant Center — 1211 E 11th St

This is the most geographically convenient option I found for the North Loop area, and they focus specifically on implant dentistry. Their practice handles both the surgical and restorative sides, which can help avoid paying multiple offices. I’d call and ask for an all-in cash price for one implant + abutment + crown.

2. Melanie D Robinson DDS, MS — 3305 Northland Dr

I'd consider this one if your case might require bone grafting or gum work. She's a periodontist/implant specialist, so you're getting specialist care rather than a general dentist who occasionally places implants. It's a little farther north of Crestview.

3. Texas Periodontists — 12319 N Mopac

Another specialist option reasonably close to Crestview/North Austin. They specifically do implants and periodontal/bone procedures.

One important budget benchmark

I found an Austin implant practice advertising a single-tooth implant for $899 for the implant portion, but explicitly says the abutment and crown are additional. Dr. Le - Elite Dentistry, TX That's exactly why I'd be careful with advertised "cheap implants": compare the complete treatment price, not the implant screw alone.

For comparison, another Austin practice currently advertises a complete single-tooth implant starting around $3,999 including implant body, abutment and crown, with financing available. South Austin Dental Associates South Austin Dental Associates

What I'd ask when you call

Say:

“I need one single-tooth implant. I'm paying out of pocket and trying to keep the total cost as low as reasonably possible. Can you give me the complete price including extraction if needed, bone graft if needed, implant, abutment, crown, imaging and follow-up visits? And do you have a cash price or financing?”

Also ask whether your regular dentist can do the crown while a specialist places the implant. Sometimes separating the surgical and restorative work can produce a better price.

If it were me, I'd call Union Dental Implant Center first, then get one quote from a periodontist (Robinson or Texas Periodontists) to use as a comparison. I wouldn't choose based on price alone for an implant—but I'd absolutely get 2–3 written, all-in quotes.

If you tell me which tooth (#, if you know it), whether it's already missing or needs to be extracted, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down further and look specifically for the cheapest reputable options within ~10 minutes of Crestview.

If budget is the priority, I’d start with River City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. A current Austin cash-price listing shows $1,600 for a single-tooth implant (CPT D6010) and lists the office at 3200 Red River St #400, which is quite convenient to North Loop/Crestview. marketcare.com

That said, there’s an important catch: $1,600 may be the implant placement rather than the complete finished tooth, so I would call and specifically ask for the total cash price for implant + abutment + crown. The distinction matters enormously.

Who I'd contact

1. River City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — first call

• 3200 Red River St #400
• (512) 320-1640
• Published/verified cash price: $1,600 for implant placement. marketcare.com
• Very convenient from North Loop/Crestview.
• I'd ask: “I'm paying cash and need one tooth replaced. What is your total all-in price including the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, and any necessary extraction?”

2. 38th Street Dental — my second call

• (512) 458-6222
• 1500 W 38th St, Ste 56
• They're particularly implant-focused, and the dentists have decades of implant experience. They also offer financing. www.myaustindds.com
• A current Austin cash-price comparison lists them at $2,350 for a single implant, so they're worth getting a quote from even if River City comes in cheaper. marketcare.com

38th Street Dental — implant information

One useful benchmark

For a complete single-tooth implant restoration, Austin pricing can easily run $3,000–$5,000+. One Austin practice currently advertises $3,999 including the implant body, abutment, and crown, which is a useful comparison point. southaustindentalassociates.com

So if someone quotes you $1,500–$2,000, don't assume that's the final bill—ask whether the crown and abutment are included.

My move: call River City first, then 38th Street Dental, and tell both that you're cash-pay and comparing all-in quotes. That gives you leverage and should quickly reveal who's actually cheapest.

If you tell me roughly which tooth it is (front/back, upper/lower) and whether it's already extracted, I can also look for 3–5 options specifically around North Loop/Crestview and compare their implant pricing, reviews, and distance.

If budget is the priority, I’d get 2–3 quotes before committing, because “$2,000 implant” can easily become $4,000+ once the abutment, crown, extraction, bone graft, and imaging are added.

My first calls

1. Nuvia Dental Implant Center — 711 W 38th St

• Very convenient to North Loop/Crestview.
• Specifically focused on implants.
• Excellent local review volume: 5.0 with 2,400+ reviews.
• I’d call and ask for their cash price for a complete single-tooth implant, not just the implant placement.

2. Austin Dental Implants — N Mopac

• Implant-focused practice and relatively close to your area.
• Their published pricing is worth investigating: they advertise a single implant as low as $2,025, although importantly that does not include the abutment or crown. dental-implants-austintx.com
• This could be a good option if their all-in quote remains competitive.

3. North Austin Dentistry — Austin Center Blvd

• Convenient from Crestview/North Loop.
• 4.9 rating with 700+ reviews.
• I'd use them as a comparison quote rather than assuming they'll be the cheapest.

One potentially cheaper option

There's a particularly interesting price point at River City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, 3200 Red River St. A current cash-price database reports $1,600 for implant placement, but you need to be careful: that may not represent the complete tooth replacement. marketcare.com I'd specifically ask what the implant + abutment + crown costs altogether.

For comparison, another Austin practice currently advertises $3,999 all-in for the implant body, abutment and crown. southaustindentalassociates.com

What I'd say when you call

Ask this exact question:

“I need one tooth replaced with an implant and I'm paying cash. Can you give me the total price from start to finished crown, including the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, extraction if needed, and any bone grafting? Are there any other fees?”

That wording is important. Don't compare a $1,600 implant placement with a $4,000 complete implant—they may be completely different parts of the process.

If it were my money, I'd call Nuvia and Austin Dental Implants first, then use the quotes to negotiate/compare. If you tell me which tooth it is (front/back, upper/lower), whether it's already missing or needs extraction, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down further and look specifically for the lowest legitimate all-in price near North Loop/Crestview.

If budget is the priority and you’re looking around North Loop/Crestview, I’d start by getting 2–3 written quotes, because the advertised “implant price” can mean just the implant post rather than the complete tooth (implant + abutment + crown + extraction/graft if needed).

My first calls

1. 8118 Dental Professionals — North Austin

• At 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd, so it’s particularly convenient for North Loop/Crestview.
• They do single-tooth implants and have an insurance coordinator to help determine coverage.
• This would probably be my first call if you want a conventional dentist rather than an implant-only center.
• Ask specifically for their all-in price for one implant including crown and abutment.

2. Williamson Perio — near Mopac/Far West

• Periodontist/implant specialist, with single-tooth implants and bone-grafting capability.
• Worth getting a quote from a specialist, particularly if the tooth needs extraction or you might need a bone graft.

3. ClearChoice Dental Implant Center - Austin — North Mopac

• Implant-focused center and convenient to your area, but I wouldn't make it my first budget option. Its overall model tends to be more implant-center/full-arch oriented.

One price benchmark I'd keep in mind

I found an Austin practice currently advertising $3,999 for a complete single-tooth implant, explicitly stating that price includes the implant body + abutment + crown, plus financing and a free consultation. southaustindentalassociates.com

That's a useful benchmark when you call other offices. I'd be suspicious of a quote that sounds dramatically cheaper until you find out what's excluded. For example, another Austin practice advertises a $899 implant, but says the abutment and crown are additional. www.austintxdentalimplants.com

What I'd say when you call

“I'm missing one tooth and I'm looking for the most affordable option for a single implant. Can you give me the total estimated price from start to finish, including the implant, abutment, crown, imaging, extraction if necessary, and any bone grafting if needed? Do you offer financing or an uninsured/self-pay discount?”

If you tell me roughly where in Crestview/North Loop you are (cross streets are enough), whether the tooth is already out or needs extraction, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this to the 2–3 offices I'd contact first and compare their likely costs.

Yes. If budget is the priority and you want to stay around North Loop/Crestview, I’d start with two calls rather than committing to the first quote.

My first call: 8118 Dental Professionals

8118 Dental Professionals — 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd, Austin

They’re actually in the Crestview/North Austin orbit and explicitly offer single-tooth implants. They also mention insurance coordination and financing, which matters if you're trying to keep the upfront cost down. Their current business listing is 4.0/5 from 28 reviews. www.diamonddentalaustin.com

Why I'd call them first: convenient location + implant capability + potentially easier to get an itemized quote from a general dentist rather than going straight to a high-end implant center.

Second opinion: Texas Periodontists

Texas Periodontists — 12319 N Mopac Expy #160

This is a periodontics/implant specialty practice, so I'd particularly consider them if you've had bone loss, gum problems, or you're being told you need a graft. They're farther north than Crestview, but still reasonably close.

One important budget benchmark

Don't assume that a $2,000-ish quote is automatically cheaper. You want the total price for the implant + abutment + crown + imaging + extraction/grafting if needed.

For comparison, I found an Austin provider advertising a $2,495 single-tooth implant including implant, abutment and crown, while another Austin practice advertises $3,999 all-in. anchordentalimplants.com So I'd consider roughly $2,500–$4,000 all-in a useful range to investigate, with the caveat that bone grafting/extraction can push it higher.

What I'd ask when you call:

“I'm looking for a single-tooth implant and I'm paying out of pocket / trying to minimize my total cost. What is your all-in price including the implant, abutment, crown, 3D scan, and any necessary placement? Do you offer a cash discount or financing?”

If you tell me which tooth it is (front/back, upper/lower), whether the tooth is already missing or needs extraction, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down to the 3 best-value offices around North Loop/Crestview and compare their likely total costs.

If budget is the priority and you want to stay around North Loop/Crestview, I’d start with these:

1. Austin Dental Implants — 6500 N Mopac Expy

This would be my first call. Their site advertises a single implant at $899 for the implant itself, with the abutment and crown additional, and says they offer a free consultation and financing. www.austintxdentalimplants.com

2. Council Oak Perio: Dental Implants & Periodontics, Dr. Christopher Bingham — 711 W 38th St

Very convenient to North Loop, and a periodontist/implant-focused practice. I'd get a quote here as a second opinion, particularly if you've had gum problems or may need bone grafting.

3. Austin Dental Works — 4601 N Lamar Blvd

Extremely convenient to Crestview/North Loop and has a strong local rating. I'd call them specifically to ask whether they place the implant and do the crown in-house and what their all-in price is.

One important catch with "cheap" implant quotes

Don't compare the advertised implant-post price alone. A single tooth typically involves:

extraction (if needed) + bone graft (if needed) + implant + abutment + crown + imaging

For example, another Austin implant center advertises $2,495 all-in for implant + abutment + crown, which gives you a useful benchmark for an actual apples-to-apples quote. anchordentalimplants.com

I'd ask each office:

“What is your total out-of-pocket price for a single-tooth implant, including the implant, abutment, crown, 3D imaging, and any necessary temporary tooth? And what would the price be if I need a bone graft?”

If you want, I can also search specifically for the 3–5 cheapest reputable implant dentists within ~3 miles of North Loop/Crestview and compare their advertised all-in prices, financing, reviews, and distance.

Yes. For North Loop/Crestview Austin, and especially if budget is a major factor, I’d start with these calls:

1. Snow Dental — my first local call
   • 1005 W 38th St, very close to North Loop/Hyde Park.
   • They do dental implants and emphasize conservative dentistry and transparent pricing.
   • They offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry.
   • Their current reviews are solid overall (4.4/5 from 108 reviews in the business listing).
   • Why I'd call: You're looking for a single implant rather than a full-mouth implant center, so a good general dentist who handles implants may give you a more economical route.

2. 8118 Dental Professionals — worth getting a quote
   • 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd, right in the North Austin/Crestview vicinity.
   • They specifically offer single-tooth implants and have an insurance coordinator to help determine what your plan covers.
   • Why I'd call: Very convenient location and worth comparing their all-in price against Snow.

3. LoneStar Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — especially if the tooth needs extraction/bone work
   • 4306 Medical Pkwy, near the area.
   • They do implant surgery and 3-D guided implant planning and offer complimentary implant assessments.
   • Why I'd call: If your case is more complicated, I'd want an oral surgeon's quote as a comparison.

One important budget tip

I found Austin implant practices advertising prices as low as $2,025, but that particular advertised price is only for the surgical implant placement—it explicitly excludes the abutment and crown. dental-implants-austintx.com Another Austin practice advertises $3,999 for a single implant including implant body + abutment + crown. southaustindentalassociates.com

So don't compare "$2,000 implant" with "$4,000 implant" until you know what's included. For a budget comparison, ask each office for the total out-the-door price including:

• extraction, if needed
• bone graft, if needed
• 3-D/CBCT scan
• implant fixture
• abutment
• permanent crown
• temporary tooth, if needed
• follow-up visits
• any sedation

If it were my money, I'd call Snow Dental and 8118 Dental Professionals first and ask for a written all-in estimate. Then I'd use LoneStar as the third opinion if there's an extraction or bone-graft issue.

If you tell me which tooth (front/molar), whether it's already missing or needs extraction, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down further and look for the cheapest reputable option within ~10 minutes of North Loop/Crestview.

Yes. For North Loop/Crestview + budget-conscious, I’d start with 8118 Dental Professionals.

8118 Dental Professionals is at 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd, which is quite convenient to Crestview/North Loop. They specifically do single-tooth implants, including the surgical placement and restoration under one roof, and use 3D CBCT imaging for planning. They also advertise financing options and a free 3D scan/consultation. www.8118dental.com

What makes them particularly worth calling: there was a recent Austin Reddit discussion specifically about affordable implants, and one commenter independently recommended 8118, saying they were transparent about pricing and went through the numbers/options without immediately pushing unnecessary treatment. That's anecdotal, but it's a useful signal for someone watching their budget. www.reddit.com

I'd call them and ask this exact question

“I need a single-tooth implant and I'm paying out of pocket. Before I schedule, can you give me an estimate for the complete cost from extraction, if needed, through the implant, abutment and final crown, including the CBCT? Do you have a cash/self-pay discount or financing?”

Don't compare implant quotes based on the implant-post price alone. Some offices advertise a very low surgical price but charge separately for the abutment and crown. For example, one Austin implant center currently advertises $2,025 for the implant placement but explicitly says that doesn't include the abutment or crown. dental-implants-austintx.com

For context, a current Austin price comparison puts complete single-tooth implants roughly in the $2,350–$4,500 cash-pay range, although your extraction, bone graft, gum treatment, etc. can push that higher. marketcare.com

My move: get the free consultation/quote from 8118 first, then use that written estimate to comparison-shop 2 other offices before committing. If you tell me which tooth (front/molar), whether it's already extracted, whether you have dental insurance, and roughly what you can afford, I can narrow it down to the 3 best-value Austin options and compare their advertised pricing.

For a single-tooth implant on a budget around North Loop/Crestview (Austin), I’d prioritize a practice that is transparent about cash pricing and doesn’t automatically push you into a high-end implant package. A single implant can vary a lot depending on whether the quote includes the implant post + abutment + crown, and whether you need extraction or bone grafting. marketcare.com

My shortlist of places I’d contact:

1. Union Dental Implant Center — best “implant-focused but potentially cost-conscious” option

Union Dental Implant Center
Web
Address: 1211 E 11th St Ste 201, Austin, TX 78702, United States
Phone: +1 512-337-6984

• East Austin, not far from North Loop/Crestview.
• Implant-focused practice rather than a general dentist who occasionally does implants.
• Worth asking for a cash price for one implant with crown included and whether they have any lower-cost options.

2. Texas Periodontists — good if you want a specialist

Texas Periodontists
Web
Address: 12319 N Mopac Expy #160, Austin, TX 78758, United States
Phone: +1 512-222-5721

• North Austin/MoPac area, convenient from Crestview.
• A periodontist may be a good choice if you have gum issues, bone loss, or a complicated extraction site.
• Ask whether they do the restoration (crown) in-house or coordinate with another dentist, because that affects total cost.

3. North Austin Dentistry — convenient general dentistry option

North Austin Dentistry
Web
Address: 6850 Austin Center Blvd #310, Austin, TX 78731, United States
Phone: +1 512-489-9933

• Near the North Austin/Central Austin corridor.
• Could be a good fit if you also need regular dental care and want one office handling more of the process.

4. Myers Dental of Austin - Ranch Rd. — worth a price comparison

Myers Dental of Austin - Ranch Rd. (Formerly 2222 Dental)
Web
Address: 10601 Ranch to Market Rd 2222 Ste S, Austin, TX 78730, United States
Phone: +1 512-428-6554

• Offers single-tooth implants and is in northwest Austin. myersdental.com
• I’d compare their full bundled quote against implant-only specialists.

Budget benchmark

For Austin, I’d be cautious with quotes that sound cheap until you confirm what’s included. Some advertised prices are for implant placement only and don’t include the crown/abutment. For example, some Austin providers advertise single implants starting around $2k–$2.5k but note exclusions, while other bundled implant+crown quotes run closer to $4k+. dental-implants-austintx.com

When you call, I’d ask:

1. “What is your total cash price for one single-tooth implant including implant, abutment, and crown?”
2. “Does that include the 3D scan and temporary tooth?”
3. “Do you offer a cash discount or in-house financing?”
4. “If I already had the tooth extracted, is the price lower?”

If you tell me which tooth it is (front tooth vs molar), whether the tooth is already missing or needs extraction, and whether you have dental insurance, I can narrow this down further.

For a single-tooth implant on a budget near North Loop/Crestview, I’d focus less on the “cheapest implant ad” and more on finding a dentist who gives you a clear all-in price (implant post + abutment + crown + any extraction/bone graft fees). A low quote can become expensive if the crown or grafting is separate.

My shortlist to contact:

1. North Austin Dentistry — probably my first call for your area

North Austin Dentistry
Web
Address: 6850 Austin Center Blvd #310, Austin, TX 78731, United States
Phone: +1 512-489-9933

• Why: Very convenient to North Loop/Crestview (78731 area), offers implant dentistry, and is a general practice that may be able to coordinate the whole case rather than sending you everywhere.
• Ask: “What is your total cash price for a single implant including crown, and do you offer in-house financing?”

2. 8118 Dental Professionals — good nearby option

8118 Dental Professionals
Web
Address: 8118 Shoal Creek Blvd, Austin, TX 78757, United States
Phone: +1 512-452-8262

• Why: Close to Crestview/North Austin and lists single-tooth implants among its services.
• Worth comparing because some general dentists can be more affordable than implant-only centers.

3. Bedrock Periodontics — if your case is complicated

Bedrock Periodontics
Web
Address: 4505 Spicewood Springs Rd Unit 100, Austin, TX 78759, United States
Phone: +1 512-660-5008

• Why: A periodontist is especially useful if you need bone grafting, gum work, or have concerns about implant placement.
• It may not be the cheapest route, but a good specialist can prevent costly problems.

4. Anchor Dental Implant Center — get a price comparison

Anchor Dental Implant Center
Web
Address: 7710 N FM 620 Bldg 13 c suite 110, Austin, TX 78726, United States
Phone: +1 512-798-0171

• Why: Implant-focused practice; they advertise single-tooth implants and bundled implant/crown pricing.
• I’d get their quote, then compare it against a neighborhood general dentist.

A couple of budget tips:

• Get 2–3 written estimates before committing.
• Ask whether the quote includes:
  • CBCT/3D scan
  • extraction (if needed)
  • bone graft
  • implant fixture
  • abutment
  • final crown
  • temporary tooth
• Many dental insurance plans don’t cover the implant itself well, so ask about cash discounts and CareCredit/monthly financing.

If I were in your shoes, I’d call North Austin Dentistry + 8118 Dental Professionals first, then use Anchor as the “implant specialist price check.”

I can also help you compare actual quoted prices if you get a couple estimates.

For a single-tooth implant on a budget around North Loop / Crestview (Austin), I’d prioritize a dentist who will give you a written, itemized quote (implant post + abutment + crown + scans + any grafting), because the cheapest advertised implant is often just the implant post and not the finished tooth. Austin single-tooth implant pricing commonly varies from roughly $2,500–$4,500+ depending on what’s included and whether you need extra procedures. marketcare.com

My shortlist of places I’d contact:

1) Best “budget-first” call: Cloud Dental

Cloud Dental
Web
Address: 9070 Research Blvd #205, Austin, TX 78758, United States
Phone: +1 512-201-8996

• Why: It’s in North Austin (Research Blvd area), relatively close to Crestview/North Loop, and offers implant services.
• Ask specifically: “What is your all-in cash price for one implant including crown? Do you have any implant specials or payment plans?”
• Good first call if you’re trying to avoid a premium implant-only practice.

2) Best price comparison option: Anchor Dental Implant Center

Anchor Dental Implant Center
Web
Address: 7710 N FM 620 Bldg 13 c suite 110, Austin, TX 78726, United States
Phone: +1 512-798-0171

• They focus heavily on implants and list a single-tooth implant package starting around $2,495 (implant + abutment + crown, case-dependent). anchordentalimplants.com
• It’s farther north (near FM 620), but worth getting a quote because implant-focused offices can sometimes be competitive on bundled pricing.

3) If you want a specialist involved: Bedrock Periodontics

Bedrock Periodontics
Web
Address: 4505 Spicewood Springs Rd Unit 100, Austin, TX 78759, United States
Phone: +1 512-660-5008

• A periodontist is often a good choice if you have bone loss, gum issues, or a tricky front tooth, though it may not be the cheapest route.

4) Convenient Crestview-area general dentist to start with: My Dentist: Christine Hervas, DDS

My Dentist: Christine Hervas, DDS
Web
Address: 8015 Shoal Creek Blvd Unit 108, Austin, TX 78757, United States
Phone: +1 512-454-5219

• Located near Shoal Creek/78757 and closer to your area; they provide implant-related care and can either handle it or coordinate referrals.

When you call, I’d ask these exact questions:

1. “Is your quote fully restored (implant + abutment + crown), or just the implant placement?”
2. “Do you charge separately for CBCT scan, extraction, bone graft, sedation, or temporary tooth?”
3. “What’s the cash-pay price if I don’t use insurance?”
4. “Do you offer CareCredit or in-house financing?”

If I were trying to keep the cost down while staying near North Loop/Crestview, I’d probably get 3 quotes in this order: Cloud Dental → Anchor Dental Implant Center → a local general dentist you trust. Don’t choose based only on the lowest number—make sure the crown and follow-up care are included.

Yes. If budget is the priority and you want to stay around North Loop/Crestview/Central Austin, I’d start with 38th Street Dental and River City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.

My picks

1. Best combination of location + price: 38th Street Dental
1500 W 38th St, Ste 56 — very convenient to North Loop/Crestview. They specifically do single-tooth implants, including the crown/restoration, and offer CareCredit and LendingClub financing. www.myaustindds.com

The interesting part for you: a recent Austin price comparison lists 38th Street Dental at about $2,350 cash-pay for a single-tooth implant, though I'd absolutely verify that the quote is truly all-in for your particular case. marketcare.com

I'd call them first.

2. Cheapest price I found: Dr. Robert D. Jasper, DDS / River City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
3200 Red River St — close to the North Loop area. A recently verified Austin cash-price listing puts a single implant at $1,600 all-in, which is unusually low. marketcare.com

I'd call and specifically ask: “Is the $1,600 price still current, and does that include the implant, abutment, and permanent crown?” The distinction matters enormously with implant pricing.

3. Convenient nearby option: 8118 Dental Professionals
8118 Shoal Creek Blvd — it's farther north, but still reasonable from Crestview. They do the entire single-implant process and offer financing, including potentially 0% promotional options depending on eligibility. www.myaustindds.comwww.8118dental.com

What I'd do in your shoes

Call 38th Street Dental first, then River City, and ask both for a written, all-in cash quote. Tell them you are comparing prices and specifically need one tooth replaced.

Ask these 5 questions:

1. “What is the total cash price, from extraction if needed through permanent crown?”
2. “Does that include implant, abutment, crown, CBCT/3D scan, and surgical placement?”
3. “Will I need a bone graft, and if so, how much extra?”
4. “Do you offer a cash/self-pay discount?”
5. “What financing do you offer, and is any 0% financing available?”

That's important because a "$1,600 implant" can sometimes mean just the implant post, with the abutment and crown costing substantially more.

For context, Austin's published prices vary dramatically: I found all-in single-tooth pricing around $2,350–$4,500, while some implant offices advertise lower prices that exclude parts of the restoration. marketcare.com

If you want, I can also compare 5–7 dentists within ~10 minutes of North Loop/Crestview and rank them specifically by likely total price, reviews, financing, and implant experience.
