Interested in dental implants? Exploring the cost? Want to know which system is the cheapest? We’ve ranked all of types of dental implants below in order of affordability.
Typically, dental implants are priced per tooth, so if you have several individual gaps in your mouth, you’ll have to replace them individually with single dental implants, which cost from £1,900 per dental implant.
The cost includes your implant, abutment, crown, and all of your appointments. The price does not include your first dental implant assessment with the implant dentist, who will take all the necessary scans to assess your suitability for the treatment. This will cost an additional £175.
Single dental implants cost £158.33 over 12 months if you pay monthly with 0% finance or £44.18 over 60 months at 14.9%.
However, as dental implants can replace up to two teeth using one implant or up to four teeth using two dental implants, patients can save money if they have multiple missing teeth in a row (next to each other).
Patients with multiple missing teeth in a row can use implant-supported bridges instead of individual dental implants. Although they work like traditional dental bridges, implant-supported bridges are much more durable and require no damage to existing teeth (so they’re better than regular bridgework).
To replace three missing teeth using two dental implants, patients can expect costs of around £4,700, which would cost £391.66 per month using 0% finance or £109.28 per month, spreading the cost over 60 months (14.9%). Deposits optional.
As you would expect, replacing a full mouth of missing teeth is the priciest. That’s because we must replace up to 14 missing teeth per arch. Now, if we replaced each gap with an implant, patients can expect to pay a minimum of £26,600 or more. However, just like with implant-supported bridges, we can use another type of dental implant called All-on-4 to replace up to 14 teeth using only four dental implants from £15,500.
Or you could explore another cheaper full-mouth solution, implant-retained dentures from £4,500, which can replace a full mouth of missing teeth using just three implants.
The difference between the two treatments? All-on-4 is fixed and non-removable, whilst implant-retained dentures are removable and thus experience slightly more movement (nothing compared to dentures) and require abundant bone in specific areas. All-on-4 does not require bone making it a graftless procedure.
Both treatments are financeable over 12 months interest-free or 60 months interest-bearing.
