What a dental implant is

An implant is a small titanium screw that a dentist places in your jawbone. It works as a new tooth root. The bone grows around it over about 3 to 6 months. Then a crown (a false tooth) is fixed on top.

Implants can replace:

  • one tooth, with one implant and a crown
  • several teeth, with 2 or more implants holding a bridge
  • all the teeth in one jaw, with 4 or more implants holding a fixed set of teeth (for example “All-on-4”)

What implants cost in London

The £2,100 median is for a single-tooth implant only. Quotes include different things. Some cover the implant, the abutment (the connector) and the crown together. Others charge for the crown separately, which can add several hundred pounds. Ask what the price includes before you compare it with another practice.

Full-arch treatment such as All-on-4 costs much more, so we keep it out of the figures on this page. Across 102 London practices that publish an All-on-4 price, the median starting price is £12,650. Check whether a full-arch price is for one jaw or both. If you need a bone graft first, that costs extra. For full-arch work, ask 2 or 3 practices for a written total.

Prices differ a lot between boroughs. The borough table on this page shows the median price in each one. For more detail, read our guide to dental implant costs in London.

Implants on the NHS

The NHS only pays for implants in rare cases. These are usually after mouth cancer or a serious injury, and treatment is normally in a hospital. Most people pay privately. For NHS dental care in general, see our NHS dentists in London page.

How long implants last

A well-looked-after implant can last 20 years or more. The crown on top may need replacing sooner. Bridges and dentures usually need replacing more often. An implant also helps keep the jawbone in place, which a denture does not.

The downsides are cost and time. From the first consultation to the final crown often takes 4 to 9 months. Smoking raises the risk that an implant fails.
