Dental implant prices vary a lot between practices. Of the 47 UK practices in our survey that publish a price for single dental implant, the middle price was £2,750 (per implant), with published prices from £1,320 to £3,650. Most of these (32 of 47) are "from" prices, so expect your final bill to be at or above them. It is not covered by an NHS charge band.
NHS or private
Dental implants are not in any NHS charge band on nhs.uk, so most people pay for them privately. You pay one charge for each course of treatment, and if you need treatments from different bands you pay the highest band.
| NHS charge band (England, from 1 April 2026) | Cost |
|---|---|
| Urgent treatment | £27.90 |
| Band 1: check-up, X-rays, scale and polish if needed | £27.90 |
| Band 2: Band 1 plus fillings, root canal, extractions | £76.60 |
| Band 3: Bands 1 and 2 plus crowns, dentures, bridges, braces | £332.10 |
NHS dental treatment is free for some people, including under 18s, under 19s in full-time education, and people who are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months. Check if you can get free NHS dental treatment.
What practices charge privately
These are prices UK practices publish on their own websites. Where a practice lists a "from" price we used that figure. Your quote depends on your teeth, the materials and the practice, so treat these as a guide and ask for a written plan.
| Treatment | Practices | Lowest | Middle (median) | Highest | "From" prices |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single dental implant (per implant) | 47 | £1,320 | £2,750 | £3,650 | 32 |
Getting an accurate price
- Ask for a written treatment plan with every cost before you agree to treatment.
- Check whether the price includes X-rays, temporary work and follow-up appointments.
- Ask whether the practice offers the treatment on the NHS, and whether you qualify.
- Check the dentist is registered with the General Dental Council.
