How much does a dental implant cost in the UK? The 2026 price table
A single implant including the crown costs £2,000–£3,500 across the UK in 2026 and £1,995 at Toothi in Edgware. What you actually pay depends on what the quote includes, not the implant itself. Every market figure in the table below comes from a practice’s own published fee page.
| Treatment | Typical UK | Central London | Toothi, Edgware |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implant consultation | £50–£150 | £100–£250 | Free |
| CBCT 3D scan | £95–£175 (often extra) | Usually extra | Referred to an imaging centre, paid to them directly |
| Single implant including crown | £2,000–£3,500 | £2,400–£3,000 | £1,995 |
| Second implant at the same visit | Rarely published | Rarely published | £1,795 |
| Implant bridge: 2 implants replacing 3 teeth | £4,000–£5,200 | £5,000–£6,250 | £4,495 |

| Fixed full-arch bridge (All-on-X), per arch | £10,000–£25,000+ | £14,000–£30,000 | Price on assessment |
Across those 28 fee pages the pattern is clear. Outer London and Hertfordshire practices publish £2,300–£2,500 for a single implant, central London £2,350–£2,950, and the large national brands £2,100–£2,400. The add-ons are where the numbers split. A minor bone graft is published at £350–£500 in Hertfordshire and £700–£1,200 in W1 for the same procedure. Two people can be quoted very different totals for the same tooth, so “how much are dental implants?” has no single answer. The cost of dental implants in the UK depends far more on what a quote leaves out (the crown, the abutment, the scan, any graft) than on the implant. Compare teeth implant prices in the UK on the finished total, not the headline.
What should a “single implant” price include?
A finished implant tooth is three separate parts. A price that covers only the first can’t be compared with one that covers all three. This is where most quotes stop lining up.
- The implant: the titanium post placed in the jaw, which takes the place of the root. Toothi uses the Osstem TS system.
- The abutment: the connector between the post and the tooth on top. Often quoted separately at £250–£600.
- The crown: the visible tooth, matched to the shade and shape of its neighbours. Often quoted separately at £600–£1,350.
Then there’s everything around it: the CBCT 3D scan needed to plan the placement (£95–£175 at many practices), the surgical guide, temporary teeth while you heal, and the review appointments afterwards. When you compare two prices, ask each one the same question: “Is that the total for the finished tooth, and what isn’t included?” Our £1,995 is the finished tooth: implant, abutment, crown and reviews. The stages themselves are set out in our guide to the dental implant procedure, step by step, and the crown itself in implant crowns explained.
Can you have a dental implant for just one tooth?
Yes. A single missing tooth is the most common implant case there is, and at Toothi it’s £1,995 including the crown. One implant replaces one tooth without touching the teeth either side. That’s the main reason it’s usually preferred to a bridge for a single gap.
Two things to know before you compare quotes. First, a single-tooth implant is still done in stages: placement, a healing period while the bone fuses to the implant, then the crown. Second, if you’re missing two teeth in different parts of the mouth, the second implant placed at the same visit is £1,795 at Toothi, because it shares your scan, your consultation and the surgery time. Few practices publish that figure, so ask for it by name wherever you’re quoted. Read more about dental implants at Toothi in Edgware, or see front tooth implants and molar implant cost.
How much do bone grafts and sinus lifts add to the cost?
Grafts and sinus lifts are the commonest reason a headline price turns into a bigger plan, and many UK practices don’t publish a price for either. Of the 28 UK fee pages we checked, nine give a price for bone grafting and only three distinguish an internal sinus lift from a lateral one. Most say “quoted after assessment” or leave the row blank.
When you might need one. If a tooth has been missing for a year or more, the bone where the root used to be shrinks. An implant needs enough bone height and width to hold it. In the lower jaw that usually means a small graft at the time of placement; in the upper back teeth the sinus sits close above the bone, so the floor of the sinus sometimes has to be lifted to make room.
What we charge. A minor graft or socket preservation is from £395; a larger graft with a membrane is from £995. An internal (crestal) sinus lift is £595. If you need a lateral-window sinus lift, we refer you on. Your CBCT scan, taken at a referral imaging centre after the free consultation, shows which of these, if any, you need. It goes into your written plan before you commit, not on the day. More in our guides to bone grafting for implants, dental bone graft cost and the sinus lift.
How much does it cost to replace more than one tooth?
Replacing several teeth rarely means one implant per tooth, so once more than one tooth is involved a “per tooth” price is the wrong thing to compare.
- Two teeth in different places: two implants. At Toothi the second implant placed at the same visit is £1,795, because it shares your scan, consultation and surgery time.
- Three teeth in a row: an implant bridge on two implants, with the middle tooth suspended between them. £4,495 at Toothi.
- A whole arch, removable: an implant-retained denture that clips onto two to four implants. £7,995 per arch at Toothi.
- A whole arch, fixed: a fixed full-arch bridge, often called All-on-X. Published UK prices run from £10,000 to £25,000 per arch and higher in central London. Toothi’s fee list publishes this as price on assessment: a written plan and quote follow your free consultation and your CBCT scan. See full mouth dental implant costs.
Why do dental implant prices in the UK vary so much?
Five things move an implant price: where the practice is, what the fee includes, which add-ons are needed, which implant system is used and who places it. The titanium post is the least variable part of the bill.
- Location. Published prices are not uniform across the country or across London. See London implant prices compared.
- What’s included. Some headline prices leave out the crown, the abutment, the scan or the reviews.
- Add-ons. Grafts and sinus lifts, which may or may not be priced up front.
- The implant brand. Different implant systems carry different component costs. Toothi uses Osstem, a Korean system placed widely around the world.
- Who places it, and how. Implants in the UK are placed by GDC-registered dentists with additional training, and by registered oral surgeons and periodontists. Implant dentistry is not a separate GDC-registered title, so ask who will place your implant and what training they have, and check their name on the GDC register. Ask too whether the placement is guided or freehand, because digital planning and a surgical guide add laboratory and planning cost.
What does it cost to fix a loose implant or crown?
A loose implant crown has to be examined before anyone can price the repair. At Toothi that examination is £95. People ask about this a lot and rarely get a straight answer, so here it is.
“Loose” covers several different problems with very different costs. A crown that has come off its abutment is usually the simplest; a loose or fractured abutment screw needs the right component for that implant system; and an implant that is itself mobile in the bone is a different matter again, usually meaning the bone around it has been lost. Only an examination and, often, a radiograph can tell which you have.
What we publish. A routine implant examination is £95 and implant hygiene therapy is £150. Our £125 recementation fee covers crowns, bridges and veneers but excludes implant work, so a repair to an implant crown is quoted in writing after the examination rather than having a list price. If your implant was placed somewhere else, bring any paperwork naming the implant system with you. The component has to match, and a missing part is the usual reason a repair gets held up. Prevention costs less: an implant hygiene visit alongside your routine check-ups is what keeps the gum and bone around the implant healthy. See also peri-implantitis: signs and treatment.
Can you get dental implants on the NHS?
Only very rarely. NHS implants are limited to patients with a clear medical need (after mouth cancer surgery, serious facial trauma, or a developmental condition where teeth never formed) and are provided through hospital referral, not a high-street dentist. A tooth lost to decay, gum disease or an accident is not normally eligible. For almost everyone, implants are private, so it pays to compare all-inclusive prices. If you think you may qualify, ask your NHS dentist for a referral to a hospital restorative department. More in our guide: can you get dental implants on the NHS?
Should you get dental implants in Turkey?
Implants in Turkey are advertised well below UK prices, and most of the gap is down to lower running costs. Wages, property and lab fees are lower, and treatment is often squeezed into one trip, sometimes placing the implant and fitting the final teeth within days rather than letting the bone heal around the implant first.
What the advertised price doesn’t cover is what happens afterwards. An implant needs reviewing for the rest of its working life, and a loose crown, a failed implant or an infection a year later is treated at home by a dentist who didn’t place it and may not have the parts for that system. Before you book with any overseas clinic, ask two things: which implant system, and who’ll look after it in the UK? We compare the two in detail in dental implants in Turkey vs the UK, and if you’re already having problems, our guide to having dental work done abroad assessed and repaired explains what is usually involved.
Is an implant better value than a bridge or denture?
A bridge or denture usually has a lower fee on day one; an implant usually lasts longer and helps preserve the bone. The comparison below uses Toothi’s published fees.
| Dental implant | Conventional bridge | Denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toothi price | £1,995 | from £595 per unit (usually 3 units for one missing tooth) | from £595 (partial) |
| Typical lifespan | Can last many years, often decades, with good care | Commonly 10–15 years | Several years, then remade |
| Helps preserve the jaw bone | Yes | No | No |
| Affects neighbouring teeth | No | Yes, they’re cut down | No |
| Feels like your own tooth | Closest | Good | Variable |
Over time an implant often works out better value, because it doesn’t sacrifice the healthy teeth either side, it helps keep the bone that supports your face shape, and it doesn’t need remaking every few years. Longevity figures are typical ranges; individual results vary and depend on hygiene, health and habits. The full comparison is in dental implant vs bridge, implants vs dentures vs bridge and missing tooth replacement options.
How long do dental implants last, and what does looking after one cost?
Looked after well, an implant can last many years. The crown on top wears like any crown and may need replacing in time. No dentist can guarantee how long an implant will last; the health of the gum and bone around it matters most.
The single biggest factor in how long an implant lasts is the health of the gum around it, so aftercare belongs in the lifetime cost. At Toothi an implant hygiene visit is £150 and a routine implant examination is £95, alongside your ordinary check-up at £55. Brushing, cleaning between the teeth and keeping those reviews is the whole of it. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and untreated gum disease shorten the odds; good hygiene and regular reviews lengthen them. More in how long do dental implants last, dental implant aftercare, and on the stages and healing time in how long implant treatment takes.
Can you spread the cost of dental implants?
Any treatment over £250 at Toothi can be spread over up to 10 months at 0% interest, or over a longer term through Tabeo, subject to status. You can check your options online, and you’ll receive a written illustration with your treatment plan. We don’t quote implant treatment as a monthly figure.

How much is a dental implant for a single tooth in the UK?
£2,000–£3,500 including the crown at most UK private practices in 2026, with outer London and Hertfordshire clinics clustered at £2,300–£2,500 and central London at £2,400–£3,000. At Toothi in Edgware it is £1,995 including the implant, abutment, crown and reviews; the CBCT scan is taken at a referral imaging centre and paid separately.
How much does a dental implant cost in London?
Most London clinics that publish a price charge £1,694–£2,900 for a single implant, with a typical published price of £2,400 (Keystone, 176 clinics, September 2026). The area-by-area figures are in our London implant cost guide.
How much do full mouth dental implants cost?
An implant-retained denture on two to four implants is £7,995 per arch at Toothi. A fixed full-arch bridge, often called All-on-X, is published at £10,000–£25,000 per arch across the UK; Toothi’s fee list publishes it as price on assessment, with a written plan and quote following your free consultation and CBCT scan.
How much does it cost to fix a loose dental implant?
It depends on what is loose (the crown, the abutment screw or the implant itself), so it is examined before it is priced. At Toothi a routine implant examination is £95 and implant hygiene therapy is £150. Our £125 recementation fee excludes implant work, so a repair to an implant crown is quoted individually in writing after the examination.
Can I get dental implants on the NHS?
Only with a clear medical need, such as after mouth cancer surgery, major facial trauma or a developmental condition where teeth never formed, and then through hospital referral. Routine tooth loss is not eligible.
Why are dental implants advertised for less in Turkey?
Lower staff, property and laboratory costs, and treatment compressed into days rather than months of healing. The advertised price doesn’t include aftercare in the UK, and any problem later is treated by a dentist who didn’t place the implant.
Does having a dental implant placed hurt?
Placement is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during it. Some soreness for a few days afterwards is normal and usually settles with ordinary painkillers. See do dental implants hurt?
How long does implant treatment take?
Typically around three to six months from placement to final crown, to let the bone fuse to the implant. If you need a graft first, that typically adds around three to six months. Temporary options for front teeth are discussed at your consultation.
How do you get your exact implant price?
The answer to “how much do dental implants cost?” depends on your mouth, which is why the consultation is free. We’ll refer you for a CBCT 3D scan (paid directly to the imaging centre), and you’ll then have a written price covering the implant, any graft and your finance options, with no obligation.
