How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

If you are considering replacing a missing tooth, one of the first questions you may ask is: how much do dental implants cost?

At Glow Dental in Battersea, a single dental implant placement including the final crown starts from £3,450.

The final cost depends on your individual needs, the condition of your gums and jawbone, the number of teeth being replaced and whether additional procedures are required.

Following your assessment, you will receive a personalised treatment plan explaining the recommended treatment and associated fees before you decide whether to proceed.

How Much Does a Single Dental Implant Cost?

According to the current Glow Dental fee guide:

Single dental implant placement including crown: from £3,450

This published price includes both the placement of the dental implant and the final replacement crown.

When comparing implant prices between dental practices, check whether the advertised fee covers:

• The dental implant positioned within the jawbone.
• The final crown fitted above the gum.
• The connecting components.
• Consultation and treatment planning.
• Dental X-rays or 3D imaging.
• Review appointments.
• Temporary teeth during healing.
• Any necessary extractions or bone grafting.

A lower advertised price may cover only one stage of treatment rather than the complete implant and crown.

What Does the £3,450 Implant Fee Include?

The Glow Dental fee guide confirms that the price of from £3,450 covers a single implant placement including the crown.

Every implant case is different, so your personalised estimate should confirm whether any other elements are required or charged separately. These may include:

• Your initial examination or implant assessment.
• Additional dental X-rays.
• A panoramic OPG X-ray.
• 3D CBCT imaging.
• Tooth extraction.
• Bone grafting.
• Sinus augmentation.
• Gum or periodontal treatment.
• A temporary tooth during healing.
• Sedation where appropriate.

Your dental team will explain the proposed stages and provide a written breakdown of the fees relevant to your treatment.

Other Fees That May Be Relevant to Implant Treatment

Not every patient will require the following services, and they are not automatically included in an implant treatment plan. However, the current Glow Dental fee guide lists:

Service	Published fee
Single implant placement including crown	From £3,450
New patient examination including small X-rays	£90
Panoramic OPG X-ray	£95
Simple tooth extraction	From £195
Surgical tooth extraction	From £300
EMS GBT hygiene visit including air polishing	£147
Nitrous oxide sedation	£295

These prices are a general guide. The services you require will depend on your clinical assessment and individual treatment plan.

Why Do Dental Implant Costs Vary?

Dental implant costs vary because implant treatment must be planned around the individual patient rather than provided as a standard, identical procedure.

The Number of Teeth Being Replaced

Replacing one missing tooth usually involves one implant and one crown.

If several teeth are missing, the treatment may involve:

• Several individual implants and crowns.
• An implant-supported bridge.
• An implant-retained removable denture.
• A fixed full-arch restoration.

Several missing teeth do not always require one implant for every tooth. Your dentist will recommend a design based on the number and position of the missing teeth, the available bone and the way your teeth meet.

The Condition of the Jawbone

A dental implant needs enough healthy bone to provide initial stability and long-term support.

Bone volume may be reduced following:

• Long-term tooth loss.
• Gum disease.
• Infection.
• Trauma.
• Previous dental surgery.

If there is insufficient bone, grafting may be recommended before or during implant placement. This will increase the complexity and overall cost of treatment.

Whether a Tooth Must Be Removed

If the damaged tooth is still present, extraction may be required before the implant is placed.

In selected cases, extraction and implant placement may be completed during the same appointment. In other situations, the area needs time to heal before implant surgery.

The appropriate sequence depends on infection, bone condition, implant stability and the position of the tooth.

The Need for a Sinus Lift

When replacing teeth in the upper back jaw, the available bone may be limited by the position of the maxillary sinus.

A sinus lift or sinus augmentation may be required to create enough bone support for an implant. This is an additional surgical procedure and will affect the treatment cost and timeline.

The Type of Final Restoration

The cost may vary depending on whether the implant supports:

• A single crown.
• A bridge replacing several teeth.
• A removable implant-retained denture.
• A fixed full-arch restoration.

The materials, design and number of components required will be different for each restoration.

The Implant System and Laboratory Work

Implant treatment involves both surgical and restorative components.

The final crown or bridge must be designed to fit your implant, bite and surrounding teeth. The quality of the implant system, connecting components and dental laboratory work can therefore affect the overall fee.

The Complexity of Treatment

A straightforward single implant in an area with healthy bone will usually be less complex than treatment involving:

• Several implants.
• Previous implant failure.
• Extensive bone loss.
• Bone grafting.
• Sinus augmentation.
• Advanced gum disease.
• Complex aesthetic requirements.

How Much Do Several Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of replacing several teeth cannot be calculated simply by multiplying the price of one implant.

Several missing teeth may sometimes be restored using an implant-supported bridge, which can reduce the number of implants required. In other cases, separate implants may be recommended.

Your dentist will consider:

• The number of teeth missing.
• The size and position of the gaps.
• The strength and quantity of available bone.
• Your bite.
• The desired type of restoration.
• Your ability to clean around the final teeth.

A personalised examination and treatment plan are required before an accurate fee can be provided.

How Much Does a Full Set of Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of full-arch implant treatment depends on the number of implants, the design of the replacement teeth and whether the restoration is fixed or removable.

Additional factors can include:

• Removal of remaining teeth.
• Bone grafting.
• Temporary teeth.
• Sedation.
• The material used for the final bridge or denture.

Glow Dental does not publish one standard full-arch price on its fee guide. A detailed quotation would therefore need to be prepared following clinical assessment.

Are Dental Implants Worth the Cost?

Whether dental implants are the right investment depends on your oral health, treatment goals, budget and the alternative options available.

Potential benefits include:

• Replacing a missing tooth without relying on neighbouring teeth for support.
• Providing stable support for a crown, bridge or denture.
• Restoring chewing function.
• Improving confidence when speaking and smiling.
• Helping maintain bone at the implant site.
• Providing greater stability than a conventional removable denture in suitable cases.

Implant-supported restorations are not all the same. Some are fixed in place, while implant-retained dentures may remain removable for cleaning.

Your dentist should also explain alternatives such as a dental bridge, a removable denture or leaving the space unrestored where clinically appropriate.

Why Do Dental Implants Cost More Than Bridges or Dentures?

Implant treatment generally involves more stages than a conventional bridge or removable denture.

These stages may include:

• Detailed clinical assessment.
• Imaging and digital planning.
• Surgical implant placement.
• A healing and integration period.
• Restorative appointments.
• Custom laboratory work.
• Long-term professional maintenance.

The implant is positioned within the jawbone and acts as support for the replacement crown, bridge or denture. This is different from a conventional bridge, which relies on neighbouring teeth, or a denture, which rests on the gum.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants are intended as a long-term treatment, but no implant or restoration can be guaranteed to last for life.

Long-term success depends on:

• Daily oral hygiene.
• The health of the surrounding gum and bone.
• Regular dental examinations.
• Professional hygiene maintenance.
• Smoking.
• Medical conditions and medication.
• Teeth grinding or clenching.
• The design and position of the restoration.

The implant within the bone and the crown above it should be considered separately. An implant may remain stable while the crown, screw or another restorative component eventually requires maintenance, repair or replacement.

Visit your dental hygienist as advised and seek prompt assessment if you notice bleeding, swelling, discomfort or movement.

What Additional Treatment Can Increase the Cost?

The published fee of from £3,450 is for a single implant placement including the crown. Your overall treatment cost may increase if additional care is required.

This may include:

• Tooth extraction.
• Surgical extraction.
• Bone grafting.
• Sinus augmentation.
• Periodontal or gum treatment.
• Temporary replacement teeth.
• Sedation.
• Treatment of decay or infection elsewhere in the mouth.

Patients with gum disease may require treatment or additional maintenance through our periodontics service before or after implant placement.

Can I Pay for Dental Implants in Instalments?

Glow Dental offers short-term interest-free finance options to help eligible patients spread the cost of treatment.

Finance is subject to application, eligibility and the applicable terms. The amount available and repayment options will depend on the finance provider’s assessment.

Read more about dental finance options or speak to the practice team before beginning treatment.

Are Dental Implants Available on the NHS?

Dental implants are usually provided privately.

NHS-funded implant treatment is uncommon and is generally limited to specific circumstances or high-priority clinical needs. This may include certain patients who have lost teeth following major trauma, treatment for mouth cancer or particular inherited conditions.

Eligibility is assessed individually, and meeting a general category does not guarantee that NHS implant treatment will be available.

Should You Choose the Cheapest Dental Implant?

Price is important, but the cheapest advertised implant may not represent the lowest overall cost.

Before comparing providers, ask:

• Does the price include the final crown?
• Are consultation and scans included?
• Which implant system is being used?
• Who will carry out the surgical and restorative treatment?
• Are temporary teeth included?
• What happens if bone grafting is required?
• Are review appointments included?
• What long-term maintenance will be needed?
• Who will manage complications or repairs?

A carefully planned implant that can be cleaned, maintained and restored properly may offer better long-term value than treatment selected solely because of a low initial price.
