Dental implant guides: costs, procedure and aftercare

A single dental implant at Toothi in Edgware is £1,995, and that includes the implant, the abutment and the porcelain crown. Your first consultation is free. If you need a CBCT 3D scan, we refer you to an imaging centre and you pay them directly, so it isn’t part of our fee. We wrote the guides below to answer the questions patients ask us most. They’re grouped by topic, so start wherever you are.

If you’d rather talk it through, our dental implants in Edgware page explains how treatment works here, and every fee is listed on our fees page.

Start here if you’re comparing quotes. Each guide gives our fixed fee and explains what pushes the price up or down.
