Common questions
How much does implant cost in the UK?
Across 10 real UK prices, the median is £2,500, with prices from £1,800 to £6,000. That spans fixed NHS band charges and private fees, so where you go changes the figure a lot.
Is implant cheaper on the NHS?
Almost always, where it is available on the NHS. NHS dental care is charged in fixed bands (Band 1 £27.90, Band 2 £76.60, Band 3 £332.10 in England from April 2026), while the same work privately is set by each practice and usually far higher.
Why do private implant prices vary so much?
Private fees are not regulated, so they reflect the practice's location, the materials used, and whether a specialist is involved. Comparing a few practices, and checking what is available on the NHS first, is worth it.
