How much do dental implants cost?
This is a collaborative post.
If you are living with mass tooth loss or your current dental treatments, like veneers or bridges, are failing, you are likely to be considering dental implants.
By replacing the missing natural tooth entirely, dentists can restore your bite, helping you to enjoy foods once again and can boost your self-esteem by giving you a much more aesthetic smile.
But how much do dental implants cost and what should you expect to pay?
Types of dental implants and the cost
When researching treatment options, you will need to consider which treatment you need as well as what dental implants cost. Whether you go to Dental Clinic in Parramatta or a dental clinic in London your choices will be similar.
The most common options are explored below:
Single-tooth dental implants
Average cost: £1,500-£3,600 per implant
Each individual, single-tooth dental implant replaces a missing natural tooth and is made up of a two-or three-part structure, depending on the type you choose, which includes:
- The titanium dental implant screw which replaces the roots of the tooth
- An abutment* which connects the crown to the implant screw, replicating the neck of the tooth
- The crown, which substitutes the crown of the natural tooth
*In some clinics, the abutment and crown are one-piece, creating a two-part structure instead of a three.
Multiple tooth dental implants
Average cost: Individual implant price x number needed
Multiple single dental implants can be used to fill in non-adjacent gaps in the arch.
These implants aren’t joined together and each dental implant is made up of either the 2 or 3-part structure we explored above.
Implant-supported bridges
Average cost: £4,000 – £12,000
If you have multiple, missing or lost natural teeth next to one another, you can replace them using an implant-retained bridge.
This solution generally uses two dental implants, one on either end, that connect a local bridge – which is topped with replacement crowns.
Implant-retained dentures
Average cost: £10,000 – £16,000
If you are missing a whole arch’s worth of teeth, you can consider dentures. However, unlike this non-fixed solution that can move around in your mouth, you could choose implant-retained dentures, which are fixed in place with two or more dental implants.
Full-jaw, smile in a day dental implants
Average cost: from £11,000 per jaw or £17,000 – £35,000 for both jaws
This solution, such as all on 4 dental implants, can replace the upper, lower, or both jaws, depending on what you need, allowing you to eat normally while also talking, laughing, and smiling with confidence.
Clinic-specific solutions
Average cost: STC but around £9,000 – £28,000
Some nationwide providers offer bespoke clinic-specific treatment options that are an advanced alternative to all on four dental implants.
This treatment option can offer various benefits and include essential extras like, more teeth (and a stronger bite), aftercare packages, bespoke implant placement and the ability to bypass extra procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts – all of which can save you money and time.
