Dental implants in Białystok: published prices, teeth in a day, NFZ and choosing a dentist

How much does a dental implant cost in Białystok?

A dental implant has no single price because treatment consists of several separately charged stages: diagnostic assessment, implant placement, usually implant exposure, and the crown. The table shows items from the published private price list at DentalBlue, ul. Kazimierza Pułaskiego 35, that most often feature in an implant treatment plan.

The price list does not distinguish implants by tooth position, so a question about a first or second molar implant has the same answer at the level of individual items. Differences in the cost of the whole treatment arise from conditions at the site, such as the amount of bone or the need to remove a tooth beforehand. Prices may change, and the final scope and cost are agreed at the consultation.

Questions about titanium or zirconia implants, or all-ceramic teeth on implants, often mix up two different things. In the price list, the material describes the crown, the visible part of the tooth, while ‘Implant placement’ specifies neither the material nor the implant system, so ask about the proposed system at your consultation.

An implant with a crown: what does adding the price-list items tell you, and what is excluded?

The two basic items, ‘Implant placement’ (3 500 zł) and ‘Zirconia crown on implant’ (3 500 zł), add up to 7 000 zł. This is a sum of published price-list items, not a quotation: a straightforward case usually also involves an implant consultation, a scan of one jaw and implant exposure, at 300 zł each, bringing the sum to 7 900 zł. The table below sets out these sums for several typical situations.

None of these sums includes tooth extraction, bone rebuilding, a temporary restoration during healing, sedation or general anaesthesia. The abutment, the component connecting the implant to the crown, does not appear as a separate price-list item, so ask exactly what each item in your plan includes. It is also worth checking what determines the amount for items marked ‘from’, what you will wear in the gap until the final crown is fitted and which follow-up appointments are planned after treatment.

The prices for ‘Denture on two implants’ (10 000 zł) and ‘Denture on four implants’ (16 000 zł) exclude the implants themselves, because each placement is a separate item at 3 500 zł. The sum of the items is therefore 17 000 zł for a denture on two implants and 30 000 zł on four, still excluding diagnostic assessment and additional procedures. The written treatment plan explains what the zirconia bridge and immediate implant items include.

Are dental implants funded by the NFZ in Białystok?

No. Implants are not among the guaranteed dental treatment services, so the NFZ does not fund them in Białystok or any other province. The service lists contain no implant, abutment, implant crown or implant-supported bridge (Rozporządzenie MZ w sprawie świadczeń gwarantowanych z zakresu leczenia stomatologicznego, the Minister of Health regulation on guaranteed dental treatment services, consolidated text, Dz.U. 2025 poz. 615; legal position as of November 2026).

For prosthetic restorations, the NFZ funds partial and complete acrylic dentures for adults, generally no more often than once every 5 years. NFZ-funded general anaesthesia is available only to specified groups of patients and applies to services in the benefits package, which does not include implants. All DentalBlue prices in this article come from the private price list.

Teeth in a day in Białystok: what does it really mean?

The phrase ‘teeth in a day’ usually describes immediate loading: fitting a restoration to an implant shortly after surgery instead of waiting for the implant to fuse with the bone. The Cochrane review defines immediate loading as fitting a tooth within a week of placement, early loading as between a week and 2 months, and conventional loading as after more than 2 months (Esposito et al., 2013).

Traditionally, implants are left unloaded for 3 to 8 months. In 15 randomised trials comparing immediate with conventional loading, this review found no evidence of a difference in implant or restoration loss during the first year, and the authors noted that better-designed studies were needed.

The tooth made on the same day is temporary, rather than the final restoration: the definitive crown or bridge is made after healing. DentalBlue’s price list includes ‘Immediate implant with 3D-printed temporary crown’ at 5 000 zł, and the dentist decides whether this approach is possible in your case after an examination and scan. Fixed teeth on four implants for a toothless arch are described in a separate article on All on 4; the price list has no single item for them.

Bone grafting for an implant and the maxillary sinus: what is in the price list?

An implant requires enough bone, which the dentist measures on a CBCT scan. Where there is too little bone, the plan includes rebuilding it before implant placement or during the same procedure, extending treatment by the time needed for healing.

In DentalBlue’s price list, ‘Socket preservation’ costs from 800 zł, ‘Ridge augmentation’ from 2 000 zł and ‘Soft tissue augmentation’ from 1 500 zł. ‘From’ means that the amount depends on the extent of the procedure, which the dentist specifies in the plan.

In the back of the upper jaw, insufficient bone height below the sinus is sometimes addressed by raising the sinus floor (a sinus lift). The price list contains no item for this procedure, so its cost is established individually at the consultation. The surgery item ‘Maxillary sinus plasty’ (300 zł) is a different procedure: closing an opening between the mouth and the sinus, which may develop during tooth extraction, for example.

If the tooth has yet to be removed, ask before extraction whether the plan includes an implant and socket preservation, as these decisions are worth making before surgery, rather than afterwards. If bone rebuilding is planned, also ask how long healing will take and what will fill the gap during that time.

What happens during implant treatment in Białystok, step by step?

Treatment begins with a consultation and a CBCT scan, which DentalBlue performs in its own radiology unit at the clinic, without sending you elsewhere for imaging. The dentist uses the three-dimensional image to assess bone height and width and plan the implant’s position.

The subsequent stages depend on the plan, but usually follow the order in the list. If a tooth still needs removing, the plan also specifies whether the implant will be placed immediately or after several weeks or months; these timings are discussed in the article on implants after tooth extraction, while the other stages are described in detail in the step-by-step implant article.

• Consultation, examination, scan and a written plan with stages and prices.
• Tooth extraction or bone rebuilding, if required by the plan.
• Implant placement under the form of anaesthesia agreed in the plan.
• Healing, traditionally for 3 to 8 months without loading, unless the dentist assesses you as suitable for immediate loading.
• Post-procedure check-up (0 zł in the price list), implant exposure and making the crown.
• Regular check-ups and professional cleaning for as long as the implant is in use.

An implant under general anaesthesia or sedation: when, and at what cost?

If you are very anxious about surgery, say so at the consultation, because the type of anaesthesia is part of the plan. Inhalation sedation appears in the price list as ‘Nitrous oxide’ at 170 zł, while general anaesthesia is provided by the clinic’s own anaesthesiology department; the team page lists two anaesthesiologists and anaesthetic nurses.

Assessment for general anaesthesia requires a consultation. The price list gives ‘Package of two anaesthesiology consultations (one visit plus test review)’ at 400 zł, ‘General anaesthesia, first hour’ at 1 500 zł, ‘General anaesthesia, each subsequent hour’ at 500 zł and ‘Post-procedure supervision, per hour’ at 600 zł, which is always charged. The procedure and the first few days afterwards are described in the article on implant placement.

Choosing an implant dentist in Białystok: how should you read reviews?

A ranking cannot answer ‘who would you recommend?’, but you can check several things that indicate how treatment is managed. The word ‘implantologist’ describes an area of work rather than a specialist title: the list of dental specialisations does not include implantology, but does include oral surgery, periodontology and prosthodontics, among others (Rozporządzenie MZ w sprawie specjalizacji lekarzy i lekarzy dentystów, the Minister of Health regulation on medical and dental specialisations, Dz.U. 2023 poz. 975).

You can check a dentist’s licence to practise and specialist qualifications in the Central Register of Doctors and Dentists run by the Polish Supreme Medical Chamber, searching by name or licence number (PWZ). DentalBlue’s team page lists roles alongside names, including ‘Specialist in oral surgery’ (two people) and ‘Specialist in periodontology’; ask reception who will be responsible for your treatment.

Online reviews can describe how appointments are organised and whether the patient understood the plan, but they cannot tell you how an implant will function several years later. When comparing proposals, including offers described as cheap implants, compare the same scope of work rather than the placement price alone. The questions in the list can help.

If you would like a second opinion, ask for copies of your examinations and a written plan. A scan taken in the clinic’s radiology unit can be supplied on a CD with the Romexis viewer, while a plan listing the stages lets you check whether two proposals cover the same procedures.

• Is the plan based on a CBCT scan, and will I receive it in writing with stages and prices?
• Which implant system and crown are planned?
• Who performs the surgery, and who provides the prosthetic treatment?
• What does aftercare involve, and what happens if a complication develops?

Implant aftercare: check-ups and hygiene

An implant does not decay, but the soft tissue and bone around it can become diseased, and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) 2023 guideline describes inflammatory diseases around implants as common. The guideline recommends starting prevention at the planning and placement stages and providing a structured programme of supportive care with periodic tissue assessment after loading.

In practice, this means daily cleaning around the implant, along with check-ups and professional cleaning at the dental surgery. In DentalBlue’s price list, ‘Post-implant check-up’ is listed at 0 zł, while ‘Complete hygiene treatment (scaling, air polishing, fluoride)’ costs 350 zł; the dentist sets the intervals between visits individually.

Do not wait until your next check-up if the gum around the implant bleeds, swells or discharges pus, or if the crown starts to move. The EFP guideline emphasises that detected peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis requires appropriate treatment, the scope of which the dentist determines after examination.
