At The Modern Dentist, a standard dental implant costs £3,500.
If additional treatment is required, such as bone or soft tissue grafting or multiple surgical procedures, the total cost can rise to around £5,000 per tooth.
On the other hand, patients needing multiple implants often pay less per tooth, as planning and surgical time are shared across treatments.
Below, we break down exactly what affects dental implant treatment costs so you know what you're paying for before committing to treatment.
Average Dental Implant Costs In The UK
A single dental implant can usually range from £2,000 to £6,000, but prices can vary considerably across the UK.
The total price depends on how many teeth need to be replaced, whether additional procedures are required, and the location and expertise of the implant dentistry clinic.
Dental implants generally cost more in London because practice running costs are higher in the capital than elsewhere in the country.
Another reason for price variations is the wide range of implant manufacturers available.
With hundreds of companies producing implants, the quality and longevity can differ significantly between brands.
At The Modern Dentist, we only use reputable implant companies and high-quality components to ensure you can feel confident in your results, both now and in the future.

What Factors Affect the Cost Of A Dental Implant?
Several factors affect UK dental implant costs and treatment plans.
The type of implant system used makes a difference, as does the expertise of the dentist or surgeon carrying out the work.
Beyond that, any additional procedures needed alongside the implant itself, such as tissue or bone grafting, extractions, temporary dentures, retainers, or crowns, will add to the final cost.
Are There Additional Costs With Dental Implants?
A number of factors can increase the standard cost of titanium implants, such as:
Tooth extraction - If a tooth needs to be removed before implant placement, this is charged separately.
Bone Grafting - Where bone volume is insufficient to support an implant, augmentation is required and charged in addition to the implant itself.
Sinus Lift - A form of bone augmentation used for upper jaw implants, where the sinus shape restricts the amount of bone available. The surgery involves lifting the bone beneath the sinus and strengthening it so an implant can be placed safely.
Temporary teeth - If the tooth being replaced is visible when speaking or smiling, most patients want a temporary tooth during the healing phase. This might be a denture, retainer, or temporary crown attached to the implant.
Sedation - For anxious patients and for more extensive treatments, such as sinus lifts, intravenous sedation is often recommended. This is carried out by a visiting anaesthetist on the day of surgery.
CBCT Scan - Before any implants are placed, a 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan is an essential part of implant planning and is usually required after the initial consultation. At The Modern Dentist, a single jaw scan costs £100.
