Why a quote is worth comparing carefully
Implant prices vary a lot, so it’s worth checking what each quote actually includes. Questions worth asking any clinic:
• Is the 3D scan included, or extra?
• Is the crown or bridge included, or only the implant?
• Who places the implant, and how many do they place each year?
• What happens if something goes wrong: is there a warranty, and how far away is the clinic?
Our single implant price includes the scan, implant, abutment and crown. Implants are covered for 5 years and crowns and bridges for 3 years when you keep up your maintenance visits. Warranty details →
And because we’re in Dorchester, your check-ups and any adjustments are a short drive away, not a trip to Poole, London or abroad. We see patients from Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport, Yeovil, Sherborne, Portland, Lyme Regis and across Dorset.
Common questions about cost
How much does a single dental implant cost in the UK?
Prices vary by clinic and by what’s included. Ours starts at £2,700 for a single implant, including the 3D scan, implant, abutment and crown.
Can I get dental implants on the NHS?
Only in rare cases, usually after cancer treatment, an injury or a medical condition, and through a hospital referral. Most people pay privately.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. You can spread the cost over 6 or 12 months interest-free, or over 24 or 36 months, subject to status. A single implant works out at £89.93 a month over 3 years.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. You’ll meet one of our experienced implant dentists, talk through your options and get a clear plan. There’s no pressure to go ahead.
Why do some clinics advertise lower prices?
Often the advertised price covers only part of the treatment, such as the implant without the crown or the scan. Ask what’s included so you’re comparing like with like.
Am I too old for implants?
Age itself is rarely the barrier; your general health matters more. Many of our patients are in their 60s, 70s and beyond.
How much does it cost to replace all my teeth?
Fixed full-arch teeth start at £14,500 per arch, or £27,000 for both. Implant-retained dentures start at £9,000 per arch.
Will the price change after the consultation?
Your written plan gives you a fixed price before treatment starts. If you need an extra procedure, such as bone augmentation, it will be in that plan.
