Dental Implant Costs North London: Your 2025 Price Guide

Our starting price of £2,500 covers the core parts of the implant treatment. It includes the titanium implant post, the surgical placement, the necessary 3D CBCT scans for planning, and follow up checks to monitor healing. The final restoration the crown bridge or denture that attaches to the implant is not included and is priced separately after healing since materials differ. There are no hidden fees and you will get a detailed personalised treatment plan after your first consultation.

The total cost depends on several factors. A common one is the need for preparatory work. If a tooth was missing for a long time you may have jawbone loss which calls for a bone graft to build a stable foundation, adding to the price. In the upper jaw a sinus lift might be needed. The complexity of the surgery and the choice of final crown such as porcelain or zirconia also matter. For example a patient from Highgate needed a back molar implant with a small bone graft, bringing the total to about £3,200. By contrast a front tooth implant for a Barnet patient with higher aesthetic demands but no grafting was around £3,000 including the final crown.

Dental implants are a reliable option for replacing one or more missing teeth. Consider this treatment if you want a fixed, natural looking solution. They can be a good choice if you wear loose dentures or want to avoid altering healthy adjacent teeth for a bridge. Implants also help prevent jawbone loss and support facial structure over time. If durability and comfort matter, implants are often the right choice.

The implant process has several steps. It starts with a 60 minute consultation plus a 3D CBCT scan to check bone and plan placement. The surgery typically takes 60 to 90 minutes with the titanium post placed under local anaesthetic. You may feel pressure but should not feel pain. A healing period of 3 to 6 months follows as the implant bonds with the bone. We can fit a temporary tooth during this time. After healing you return for two short appointments to take impressions and fit the final crown. From start to finish the process usually takes 4 to 7 months.

After placement you may have mild to moderate discomfort for the first two to three days, manageable with over the counter pain relief. Swelling is normal and tends to peak around 48 to 72 hours; an ice pack can help. Eat soft foods for the first week and avoid very hard, crunchy or spicy items. Avoid strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours. Keep the area clean with careful oral hygiene. Long term care is like looking after a natural tooth with regular brushing, flossing and dental check ups. Red Flags: Call our practice during office hours if you experience increasing pain after day four a fever or any discharge from the site. For emergencies outside hours contact NHS 111 or go to the nearest A and E.

While implants are often the best solution other options exist. A fixed dental bridge fits crowns on the teeth beside the gap to support a false tooth in between. This can be quicker 2 to 3 weeks but requires grinding down healthy tooth structure which we prefer to avoid. Another option is a removable partial denture which is usually cheaper but less stable for chewing and needs to be removed for cleaning. During your consultation we will discuss the pros and cons to help you choose what suits your dental health and budget.
