How Much Do Dental Implants Cost and What Affects the Price?

This is one reason that dental implant costs can cause so much confusion. If you’re serious about transforming your smile with dental implants, the best thing to do would be to book a consultation so you can learn how much this treatment will cost. Otherwise, read on to learn more about what impacts the cost of dental implants, so you can decide if this treatment is right for you.

How much do dental implants cost?

Before we delve into the specifics about price, it’s vital to understand the difference between different types of dental implants. 

The most common is a single implant with a crown, intended to replace a single missing tooth. Patients are also opting for implant dentures, which use 4 – 6 implants to support an entire arch. There are also special treatment plans like the All On 4 plan, which uses longer implants placed at an angle to support a full arch restoration that can be placed on the same day.

Our dental implant treatments start at £3,600 for a single implant, with costs increasing for multiple implants and for more complex treatments, like denture implants. If you require any preparation for dental implants, this can also increase the final cost.

What affects the price of implants?

Dental implant surgery can be very complex, and there are also lots of variables that can impact the final cost of your treatment. Examples of some factors that can impact the price of implants includes:

Bone grafting may be required to prepare the jaw for dental implants if you don’t have sufficient bone density. This is a separate procedure that will increase the overall cost of treatment.

Dental hygiene cleanings may be required to help restore gum health. Following a plan for treating active gum disease can also increase the final cost of treatment.

The materials chosen for your restoration will also change the final price. When selecting a crown, you’ll have a choice of options, including porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, zirconia or lithium disilicate. Each has their benefits, and you’ll need to choose the one that is right for you.

If you require sedation for the procedure, this is another expense to consider. Oral conscious sedation or IV sedation will require more staff, and this will make the procedure more expensive.
