Whether you’ve just been told you need a tooth removed, you’ve been living with a gap for years, or you’ve simply started researching your options, the cost of dental implants is usually the first question people ask. And understandably so.
This guide gives you honest, straightforward answers. No vague ranges, no small print surprises. Just a clear picture of what implants cost, what’s included, and how to decide whether they’re the right choice for you.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it’s integrated with the bone, a process that takes a few months, a custom-made crown is attached on top, giving you a natural-looking, permanent replacement for a missing tooth.
Unlike dentures, implants don’t come out. Unlike bridges, they don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support. They look, feel, and function like your own teeth — and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
How much do dental implants cost in the UK?
The cost of a single dental implant in the UK typically ranges from around £2,500 to £3,500 or more, depending on the practice, the complexity of the case, and what’s included in the price.
At Nonsuch Park Dental in Cheam, a complete single implant, including the implant itself, the abutment, and the crown, starts from £3,250. Your initial consultation and assessment, which includes a digital scan and a full written treatment plan, is £95.
We believe in transparent pricing. You’ll always receive a detailed written estimate before any treatment begins, no surprises.
What does the cost include?
It’s worth asking this question carefully, because not every practice includes the same things in its quoted price. At Nonsuch Park Dental, a complete single implant from £3,250 covers:
- The implant fixture (the titanium post placed into the jawbone)
- The abutment (the connector piece between the implant and the crown)
- The custom-made ceramic crown (the visible tooth on top)
Your £95 assessment appointment also includes a digital scan and a written treatment plan, so you know exactly what to expect before committing to anything.
What affects the price?
Several factors can influence the overall cost of your implant treatment:
Number of teeth being replaced
Replacing a single tooth is often straightforward; multiple missing teeth may require implant-supported bridges or a different treatment approach, which affects cost accordingly.
Preparatory work
Some patients need a bone graft before an implant can be placed, particularly if there has been bone loss following a tooth extraction. This is assessed at your consultation and costed separately if needed.
The complexity of your case
Factors such as the position of the missing tooth, the health of your gums and surrounding teeth, and your overall oral health all play a role.
The quality of materials
At Nonsuch Park Dental, all crowns are ceramic and digitally designed for a precise, natural fit. Quality of materials matters for both aesthetics and longevity.
This is exactly why a proper assessment matters before any price is finalised. Dr Tobi will assess your individual situation and provide a full written breakdown, so you know exactly what you’re investing in.
How do implants compare to other options?
If you’re missing a tooth, you broadly have three options: a dental implant, a bridge, or a denture. Here’s an honest comparison:
Dental implant
Permanent, standalone, no impact on neighbouring teeth, looks and feels completely natural. Higher upfront cost, but the most durable long-term solution.
Dental bridge
Fixed in place and looks natural, but requires the teeth on either side to be prepared (and often cut down) to support the bridge. Not a standalone solution.
Denture
Removable and more affordable, but can feel less secure, may affect speech or eating, can encourage increased plaque retention and requires ongoing care.
For most patients who are suitable candidates, implants are the gold standard. They preserve the jawbone, protect neighbouring teeth, and give you back full function without compromise.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes. We know that the upfront cost of implants can feel significant, which is why we offer interest-free finance to help spread the investment into manageable monthly payments.
We also offer membership plans that include regular examinations and hygiene visits, with exclusive savings on treatments, a practical way to keep on top of your oral health while managing costs sensibly.

Are dental implants right for me?
Most healthy adults with good gum health are suitable candidates for dental implants. The key factors Dr Tobi will assess at your consultation include:
- The health of your gums and the surrounding bone
- Whether any preparatory treatment is needed
- Your general medical history
- The position and condition of neighbouring teeth
If you smoke or have certain medical conditions, this may affect the success rate of implants, again, something Dr Tobi will discuss with you openly and honestly at your assessment.
