Ballpark figures (to be taken with a pinch of salt)

Your unique circumstances
The cost of your dental implant will be different to the next patient. The pricing depends on elements such as how many teeth may need replacing, which materials you choose for your implant, whether you need extensive pre-treatment to tackle any current conditions and whether there are complications (such as nerves or insignificant jawbone that would make a dental bridge necessary – read more about dental bridges in our blog: A dental implant bridge: The what (and why).
What are you paying for?
The cost of a dental implant covers many things (hence the reason for what you may deem a relatively ‘high’ price tag). This includes:
* The time of your dentist – this is required for the diagnostics, analysis and preparation work that’s undertaken prior to the implant.
* Training – both the many years that have been required for your dentist to become the skilled professional they are today, as well as regular courses for the entire team to be up-to-date on implant methods, preparation and aftercare.
* The dental implant components – precision engineered to superior manufacturing standards.
* The crown which is placed onto the dental implant, created by a skilled technician.
* The ongoing after-care that’s provided by your dentist which ensures the implant sets and heals as it should.
