How much does a dental implant cost in the UK? Based on data from 1,125 UK dental practices, a single dental implant costs a median of £2,500, with prices ranging from £585 to £3,500 depending on the type, location, and what is included.
Implant prices by region
| Region | Median | Range (P5–P95) | Practices |
|---|---|---|---|
| National | £2,500 | £585 – £3,500 | 1,125 |
| Central London | £2,000 | £595 – £3,400 | 221 |
| Greater London | £2,400 | £520 – £3,440 | 153 |
| South (excl. London) | £2,500 | £569 – £3,500 | 346 |
| Midlands | £2,545 | £600 – £3,500 | 201 |
| North | £2,500 | £612 – £3,485 | 204 |
Central London has the widest price range. You can find implants from £595 at some practices — these are typically the implant placement only, without the crown on top. Always check what is included in the quoted price.
What is included in the price?
An implant procedure has several stages, and not all quotes include everything:
| Component | Typical cost if separate |
|---|---|
| Consultation and CT scan | £50–£250 |
| Implant placement (surgery) | £1,000–£2,000 |
| Abutment | £200–£500 |
| Crown (on top of implant) | £500–£1,000 |
| Bone graft (if needed) | £300–£800 |
A "complete" single implant (placement + abutment + crown) typically costs £2,000–£3,500. The lower-cost quotes often cover the implant placement only.
Always ask: Does the price include the crown? Does it include the consultation and CT scan? Is bone grafting included if needed?
Types of dental implant treatment
| Treatment | Typical cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant | £2,000–£3,500 | Replacing one missing tooth |
| Implant bridge (2 implants + bridge) | £4,000–£7,000 | Replacing 3–4 adjacent teeth |
| All-on-4 (full arch) | £8,000–£15,000 | Replacing all upper or lower teeth |
| All-on-6 (full arch) | £10,000–£20,000 | Full arch, more implant support |
| Mini implants | £1,000–£2,000 | Denture stabilisation |
Are dental implants available on the NHS?
Dental implants are not routinely available on the NHS. They may be provided in exceptional cases (e.g., following cancer treatment or facial trauma), but cosmetic or general tooth replacement implants must be paid for privately.
Implant brands
The brand of implant used affects both cost and longevity:
- Premium brands: Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Astra Tech — highest cost but longest track record
- Mid-range: BioHorizons, Zimmer Biomet — good quality, slightly lower cost
- Budget brands: Various — lower-cost but less clinical data on long-term outcomes
Ask your dentist which brand they use and check that it comes with a manufacturer's warranty.
Financing dental implants
Most practices offer payment plans:
- 0% finance: Available at many practices for 6–12 months
- Low-interest finance: 12–60 month plans, typically 9–15% APR
- Dental membership plans: Some practices offer reduced rates for members

How much does a single dental implant cost in the UK?
Based on data from 1,125 UK dental practices, a single dental implant costs a median of £2,500, with a typical range of £585 to £3,500 (P5–P95). The lowest quotes (around £600) usually cover the implant placement only — the abutment and crown on top are charged separately. A complete single implant including placement, abutment, and crown typically costs £2,000–£3,500.
Where in the UK are dental implants lower-cost?
Central London has the widest price range and the lowest median at £2,000 per implant, mostly because it has the highest concentration of clinics competing on price. Greater London (£2,400), the South excluding London (£2,500), the North (£2,500), and the Midlands (£2,545) have higher medians but tighter price ranges. Lower-cost does not equal best — confirm exactly what is included in the quote.
Are dental implants available on the NHS?
Dental implants are not routinely available on the NHS. They may be provided in exceptional cases — for example following cancer treatment or facial trauma — but cosmetic or general tooth replacement implants must be paid for privately. NHS Band 3 (£332.10 in England) covers dentures and bridges, not implants.
What is included in a dental implant quote?
Always check whether the quote covers: the consultation and CT scan (£50–£250 if separate), implant placement surgery (£1,000–£2,000), the abutment (£200–£500), the crown that sits on top (£500–£1,000), and any bone grafting required (£300–£800). The lower-cost headline prices typically cover the implant placement only.
How much does a full mouth dental implant cost?
Full-arch implant treatments cost £8,000–£15,000 for All-on-4 (one arch on four implants) and £10,000–£20,000 for All-on-6 (one arch on six implants). An implant bridge replacing 3–4 adjacent teeth costs £4,000–£7,000. Mini implants used to stabilise dentures cost £1,000–£2,000.
Can I get 0% finance on dental implants?
Yes — most UK practices offering implants provide 0% finance over 6–12 months, and many offer 12–60 month low-interest plans at typically 9–15% APR. Some practices also run dental membership plans that reduce treatment costs for members. Always check whether the finance is provided directly by the practice or via a third-party lender (Tabeo, V12, Chrysalis Finance).
