Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and London has some of the most experienced implant dentists in the country. They’re also one of the most expensive dental treatments available, so understanding your options and the real costs involved is important before committing.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw placed into your jawbone, which acts as a replacement root. Once it’s healed and fused with the bone - a process that takes 3 to 6 months - a crown is attached on top. The result looks and functions like a natural tooth.

Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth using an implant-supported bridge, or a full arch using systems like All-on-4, where four implants support a complete set of fixed teeth.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in London?

The median advertised starting price for a single implant in London is £2,100, with most practices between £1,700 and £2,800. That figure covers single-tooth implants only. Confirm what a quote includes before comparing it with anything: some cover the implant, abutment and crown together, others price the crown separately, which can add several hundred pounds.

Full-arch work is a different order of cost and we deliberately keep it out of the figures below. All-on-4 and similar systems, which replace a whole jaw on four or six implants, run well into five figures. Bone grafting, if you need it, adds more again. If you are being quoted for a full arch, the borough medians on this page will not help you: ask two or three practices for a written total instead.

Where you go matters. The cheapest borough we can price is Camden at a median of £1,800, the dearest the City of London at £2,995. See the full borough table below, or our London dental cost guide for every treatment.

Dental implants are not available on the NHS except in very rare cases, usually involving trauma or cancer treatment. For more on NHS dental access, see our NHS dentist London hub.

Are Dental Implants Worth It?

Implants last significantly longer than alternatives. A well-maintained implant can last 20 years or more, while bridges typically last 10-15 years and dentures need replacing every 5-10 years. They also preserve jawbone density, which dentures don’t.

The main drawbacks are cost and treatment time. From first consultation to final crown can take 4 to 9 months.

Dental implants: frequently asked questions

How much do dental implants cost in London?

A single dental implant in London typically costs between £2,500 and £3,500, covering the implant, abutment and crown. Full-arch options such as All-on-4 run £15,000 to £30,000 per jaw. Most practices offer interest-free or low-interest finance.

Are dental implants available on the NHS?

Only rarely. Implants are treated as a private option and are funded by the NHS only in exceptional cases, usually after trauma or cancer treatment. For most people they are paid for privately.

How long do dental implants last?

A well-maintained dental implant can last 20 years or more, often a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing after 10 to 15 years. Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups make the biggest difference.

Can I get a dental implant if I smoke?

You can, but smoking slows healing and raises the risk of implant failure, so many dentists ask you to stop before and after surgery. Your dentist will assess your suitability at the consultation.
