Search “dental implant cost” and you’ll get answers ranging from a few hundred pounds to several thousand, sometimes on the same page. It’s not exactly reassuring when you’re just trying to work out whether implants are realistically within reach, before you’ve even booked a consultation.
Real pricing does exist though, and it’s not as mysterious as it looks online. Here’s what implants actually cost at Diamond Dental Care in Grays, Essex, what changes the final number, and how to plan for it properly.
Across the UK, dental implant treatment generally runs well into four figures per tooth once you include the implant itself, the abutment, and the crown that sits on top. That’s a wide range for a reason implants are priced per stage and per case, not as a single flat fee, so two patients can end up with quite different bills for what looks like the same treatment on paper.
At Diamond Dental Care, our implant pricing starts from £1,895 for a single implant placement. If you also need the implant-retained crown that sits on top. Typically zirconia, for its strength and natural appearance — that starts from £1,000. Before any of that, every implant journey begins with a £100 consultation, where we assess whether you’re a suitable candidate and what your specific case will actually involve.
A handful of factors shift the final number up or down:
That £100 consultation fee isn’t just a formality — it’s where the real pricing gets decided. We’ll take X-rays, assess your jawbone, and look at exactly what your case needs before landing on a figure that actually applies to you. No dentist can honestly give you an accurate price without seeing you first; anyone who does is guessing.
Beyond the initial treatment, it’s worth budgeting for the ongoing side of implant care too. Implant maintenance cost sits at £100, and covers the check-ups that keep an implant working well for years rather than developing problems quietly. If something does go wrong after treatment, an implant emergency appointment is £120. None of this is a hidden fee — it’s simply the long-term cost of looking after an investment that’s meant to last.
If paying up front isn’t realistic, 0% finance is available to spread the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments. You’ll find full details, alongside our complete fee list, on our fees and finance page.
The Bottom Line
Implant costs vary because implant cases vary — the only way to get a figure that actually applies to you is a proper consultation. Book your £100 consultation and find out exactly what your treatment would involve, and what it would cost, before you commit to anything.
