How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
If you’re searching for dental implant cost, teeth implants price or “dental implants near me”, you’ll quickly notice one thing: pricing varies. That’s because the right implant plan is built around careful case selection and planning — and that’s what protects your result (and your wallet) long-term.
This page breaks down what affects cost (CT/CBCT scan, bone grafting, timing, type of teeth) so you can compare options properly — not just the headline price.
Quick options (what you can choose)
Tell us what you want to fix — we’ll guide you to the safest, most predictable route.
- Single tooth implant (one missing tooth)
- Implant crown (if an implant is already in place)
- Implant bridge (multiple teeth replaced on implants)
- All on 4 dental implants (full arch in one jaw)
- Full mouth dental implants (both jaws, staged plan)
- Bone grafting for dental implants (GBR / block graft if needed)
Tip: The cheapest plan is rarely the lowest cost. “Pay cheap, pay twice” happens when planning is rushed, case selection is poor, or corners are cut — and fixing implant problems can be more complex than doing it right the first time.
Patient reviews
Why implants can be excellent value (when planned properly)
Fixed, natural feel
A well-planned implant can feel close to a natural tooth.
Planning protects success
Case selection + careful planning reduces risk and surprises.
Supports bone and bite
Implants help maintain function where teeth are missing.
Pay cheap, pay twice
The true cost is the outcome — not the headline price.
Who implants are for (and when we suggest alternatives)
- Best for: a missing tooth, loose dentures, gaps affecting chewing, or a bridge you don’t want to rely on neighbouring teeth for.
- May need extra steps: long-standing gaps, gum disease history, smoking, grinding, complex bite issues, limited bone volume.
- Sometimes better than implants: if you’re medically unwell, hygiene is difficult, or the risk/maintenance doesn’t suit you — we’ll talk it through honestly.
Searching “implants near me” is normal — but the more important question is: who is selecting the case and planning it carefully?
Dental implant cost: what you’re actually paying for
People often compare implant quotes like they’re the same product. They aren’t. A safe implant plan usually includes:
CT/CBCT scan: sometimes needed to measure bone safely and plan implant position. This can reduce risk and improve predictability. If you need 3D imaging, we’ll explain why — and confirm costs upfront. (You can also see our scanning page here: 3D scans.)
Quick clarity: terms like “tooth transplant cost” or “dental transplant cost” are often used online when people mean implants. A true tooth transplant (moving a natural tooth) is a different procedure and only suits very specific cases.
Timing choices (and how they can affect cost and success)
Timing is one of the biggest “hidden” cost factors — because it’s linked to risk.
- Immediate placement (implant placed at the time of extraction): can reduce total appointments, but only when the case is suitable and stability can be achieved safely.
- Early placement (after initial healing): often a balanced approach where soft tissue conditions improve first.
- Delayed placement (months later): sometimes safer when infection is present, bone is thin, or grafting is required.
The “fastest” option is not always the best value. The best value is the plan with the highest predictability for your mouth.
Our dental implant prices (guidance)
Below are our core prices. Your final quote depends on case selection, planning needs, timing, and whether grafting is required. We aim to identify likely costs early so there are fewer surprises later.
| Treatment | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Implant (single) | £2,100 – £3,360 | Includes the crown. Final fee depends on complexity, planning and clinical requirements. |
| Implant (All-on-4) | From £18,375 – £26,250 (per jaw) | Full-arch solution. Often more cost-effective than multiple individual implants and can offer excellent stability. |
| Implant crown | £900 | For cases where an implant is already in place and needs a crown. |
| Implant bridge | £1,000 | For replacing multiple teeth using implants as supports. |
| GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) | £675 | As part of a surgical procedure, if required to improve bone support. |
| Block bone graft | £2,000 – £3,000 | As a separate surgical procedure, when more significant bone rebuilding is needed. |
How the costs add up (simple examples)
These examples are to show the logic (not a promise of suitability). We’ll confirm what you actually need after an assessment.
Single implant including crown: £2,100 – £3,360
Usually fewer variables if bone and gums are favourable.
Implant incl. crown: £2,100 – £3,360
GBR (if needed): + £675
Illustrative total: £2,775 – £4,035 (plus any imaging/extraction if required).
Block graft (if needed): £2,000 – £3,000
Later implant incl. crown: + £2,100 – £3,360
Illustrative total: £4,100 – £6,360 (plus any imaging/extraction if required).
Full mouth dental implants cost: this depends heavily on whether you’re suitable for All on 4 dental implants, whether extra grafting is needed, and your bite. A staged, carefully planned approach often reduces complications — which is the biggest long-term cost saver.
“Cheap dental implants” can become expensive
It’s normal to search cheap dental implants, cheap teeth implants or affordable teeth implants. The risk is that “cheap” often means shortcuts in planning, materials, time, or follow-up. Implant failure can lead to pain, time off work, extra surgery, and higher overall cost.
- The most important factor: clinician experience with case selection and careful planning.
- Planning matters: bone levels, bite forces, gum health, spacing, and implant position all affect predictability.
- We aim for upfront clarity: we discuss likely add-ons early (such as grafting or imaging) so you can make a confident decision.
Your goal isn’t to find the lowest quote. It’s to minimise the chance of re-treatment — because that’s what usually drives cost up.
FAQs about dental implant prices
What is the cost of one dental implant?
Our single tooth implant price is £2,100 – £3,360 and includes the crown. The final cost depends on complexity and whether additional steps (like grafting or 3D imaging) are needed.
What does the implant price include?
For a single implant, the price includes the implant and the crown. Planning, checks, and timing can vary by case. If you need grafting or imaging, we explain it and confirm costs before proceeding.
How much do all on 4 dental implants cost?
Our all on 4 dental implants pricing is from £18,375 – £26,250 per jaw. Suitability depends on bone, bite, and health factors — so assessment and planning are key.
What about full mouth dental implants cost?
Full mouth dental implants usually means treating both jaws. The best plan might be staged, and costs depend on whether you’re suitable for full-arch solutions (like All-on-4) and whether grafting is required.
Do I always need a CT/CBCT scan?
Not always. When a 3D scan is needed, it’s to measure bone safely and plan implant position. This can reduce risk and improve predictability. If you need imaging, we’ll explain why and confirm costs upfront.
How often is bone grafting needed?
It depends on bone volume and how long the tooth has been missing. If needed, options include GBR (£675 as part of surgery) or a block bone graft (£2,000–£3,000 as separate surgery).
Are dental implants on the NHS?
In the UK, dental implants NHS provision is limited and typically reserved for specific clinical situations. Most people have implants privately, which allows more choice and shorter waiting times.
Why do quotes vary so much between clinics?
Differences usually come from planning standards, time allowed, materials, clinician experience, and what is (or isn’t) included. A low quote can become expensive if complications happen or if key steps weren’t done thoroughly.
Can you do finance / monthly payments?
Yes — we can discuss flexible payment options after your assessment, once we know the safest plan for your case.
What happens if an implant fails?
Failures can happen, and they often increase overall cost because corrective treatment can be more involved. That’s why case selection and careful planning are the priority from the start.
Want a clear, personalised implant quote?
Book an assessment and we’ll talk through suitability, timing (immediate vs delayed), likely add-ons (such as grafting or imaging), and the safest plan to keep success high and long-term cost low.
