How much do dental implants cost at Smile Dentist?

A single dental implant including the implant, abutment, and zirconia crown starts from £2,950 (standard) or from £1,475 for members. A full written treatment plan with costs is provided after your consultation.

Is implant surgery painful?

Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Many patients report less discomfort than expected. Some swelling and tenderness are normal for a few days afterwards and can usually be managed with over-the-counter painkillers.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implants can last 20 years or longer. However, longevity depends on individual factors including bone quality, oral hygiene, smoking status, and general health.

Am I suitable for dental implants?

Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone are suitable candidates. Factors that can affect suitability include smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, certain medications, and insufficient bone volume. A CT scan at your consultation will assess your bone levels.

How long does the full treatment take?

From implant placement to final crown, the process typically takes 3–6 months. Most of this time is the healing phase (osseointegration) where the implant fuses with your jawbone. You wear a temporary tooth during this period.

What is the success rate of dental implants?

Dental implants have a well-documented success rate, typically reported at around 95% over 10 years in clinical studies. Individual outcomes depend on factors including oral hygiene, smoking, bone quality, and overall health.

Understanding Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Small posts are placed into the jawbone to act as a secure foundation for replacement teeth. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone, providing a stable base that is designed to function similarly to a natural tooth root.

Designed for Longevity

Implants are designed as a long-term solution. Longevity varies depending on individual factors including oral hygiene, bone health, and regular dental care.

Natural Function

Replacement teeth supported by implants are designed to function similarly to natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Fixed in Place

Unlike removable options, implant-supported teeth are securely fixed and do not need to be taken out. They become a part of your everyday smile.

The Importance of Replacement

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

Chewing & Speech

Missing teeth can affect the ability to chew food properly and may impact speech clarity. Replacing missing teeth can help restore normal function and comfort.

Bite & Alignment

When teeth are missing, surrounding teeth may gradually shift, leading to changes in bite alignment. This can create further dental concerns over time if left untreated.

Bone Loss

The jawbone in the area of a missing tooth may begin to recede over time. Dental implants are one option that may help maintain bone density in the treatment area.

Confidence & Appearance

Gaps in the smile can affect self-confidence and facial appearance. Replacing missing teeth helps restore a natural-looking smile and overall facial structure.

If you are living with missing teeth, dental implants are one of several treatment options that may be suitable. A clinical assessment will help determine the most appropriate approach for you.

Suitability

Who Are Dental Implants Suitable For?

Dental implants may be suitable for adults who are missing one or more teeth and have sufficient bone support in the jaw. Suitability is always determined through a thorough clinical assessment.

Missing Teeth

Patients with one or more missing teeth who are looking for a fixed, long-term replacement option may benefit from implant treatment.

Adequate Bone Support

Sufficient jawbone is needed to support an implant. If bone levels are insufficient, further assessment and possible preparatory treatment may be discussed.

Good Oral Health

Healthy gums and a commitment to good oral hygiene are important factors in the long-term success of dental implant treatment.

Important: Suitability for dental implants depends on individual clinical evaluation. Factors such as medical history, bone density, and oral health will be carefully assessed at your consultation.

Treatment Options

Types of Dental Implant Treatments

Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or to support larger restorations. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable approach based on your clinical needs.

Single Tooth Implant

A single implant post supports an individual replacement tooth. This option preserves the surrounding teeth, which do not need to be prepared or altered.

Multiple Teeth Replacement

When several adjacent teeth are missing, a smaller number of implants can support a bridge, replacing multiple teeth without affecting healthy neighbouring teeth.

Implant-Supported Restorations

For patients missing a larger number of teeth, implants can support more extensive fixed restorations. The number of implants required is determined by clinical assessment.

Your Journey

The Dental Implant Process

Each stage is carefully managed to support the best possible outcome for your treatment.

Consultation & Assessment

A thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jawbone is carried out. Imaging may be used to assess bone levels and help plan the treatment.

Treatment Planning

A personalised treatment plan is created based on your clinical assessment. All options, timelines, and costs are discussed before any treatment begins.

Implant Placement

The implant post is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. The procedure is carried out with precision to support a stable foundation.

Healing Period

A period of healing follows, during which the implant integrates with the jawbone. The length of this phase varies between individuals.

Final Restoration

Once healing is complete, the final replacement tooth is carefully fitted to the implant, designed to match the appearance of your natural teeth.

Recovery

Healing & Recovery

Recovery following implant placement is an important part of the treatment process. Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare guidance tailored to your individual needs.

Healing Times Vary

The time required for the implant to integrate with the jawbone varies between individuals. Your dentist will monitor healing progress at follow-up appointments.

Bone Integration

A key part of the healing process involves the implant gradually bonding with the jawbone. This integration is essential for providing a stable, secure foundation.

Follow-Up Care

Regular follow-up appointments are an important part of your implant journey. Your dentist will review healing, answer questions, and advise when you are ready for the next stage.

Pricing

Dental Implants Cost London

The cost of dental implant treatment depends on a number of factors, including the number of implants required, the complexity of the case, and whether any additional procedures are needed.

What Affects the Cost?

Number of Implants

Replacing a single tooth requires one implant, while multiple missing teeth may need additional implants to provide adequate support.

Treatment Complexity

The overall complexity of your case, including bone density and the position of missing teeth, will influence the treatment plan and associated costs.

Additional Procedures

Some patients may require preparatory procedures before implant placement. These will be discussed and costed as part of your personalised treatment plan.

Personalised Plan

A full written treatment plan with itemised costs is provided following your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect before treatment begins.
