does anyone know how much its costs for dental implants per tooth from an nhs dentist?

Answer 1

3,500. I had it done. Thats per tooth.

Answer 2

Can't understand why Americans respond to a (UK specific)question about NHS dentists with dollar prices.
I had to enquire a little while ago for a front tooth that got knocked out. Implants can't be done on the NHS for cosmetic purposes and all the NHS will offer is a denture(£60) and they quoted me FROM £2000 for the implant. I tried the denture when it first happened and couldn't get on with it at all - I even used to take it out to eat so was pretty pointless. There are 2 alternatives: A bridge at £700, again not much good because they'd have to grind down the 2 teeth perfectly good on either side to set it on (like a crown). The other alternative is a type of bridge (don't know name) that they bond to the back of the same 2 teeth but doesn't damage them. I had this done (£300) and it's great, it looks and feels better than the real tooth that was there before, I have no problem eating and don't really notice it. Apparently they do come unstuck occasionally but that just entails a return trip to have it re bonded.
He told me that a lot of people go to other European countries such as Spain if they want an implant done where they do it much cheaper. I used to live in Spain and I can tell you most Spanish dentists are much better than UK ones.

Answer 3

I was considering doing it with a private dentist and the price for one implant was £1,895. The prices however, do vary a lot, e.g. I found the following on this web-site: http://www.smilespecialist.co.uk/webnemesis/kilcoyne.nsf/0527782891d471fc8025682c0036cf53/db30154db7cc6f1a80256a3400449ff7?OpenDocument#Untitled%20Secti_1
(You can find more detailed price list from the home page http://www.smilespecialist.co.uk following the links)

"Costs:

Obviously, each case is individual, but a rough guide would be a single tooth Implant (including crown) for about 2450 pounds sterling ($3900), with a small to medium bone graft costing about 500 pounds sterling ($850) extra. If we can, we always try to fit the largest Implant into your bone volume, but this may mean using the smaller Implants if you wish to reduce or even eliminate the surgical bone-grafting phase.
Costs generally reduce per Implant, if many more Implants are involved, but each case needs examining and quoting for individually.

There is also a cost in time and inconvenience, which is usually much longer than with other Dental treatment alternatives. There is also the possibility that through no fault of the patient OR the operator, the Implant procedure is not successful. This is a biological risk that cannot be avoided.
You may have to have any failing Implants removed, let the bone heal, then perhaps 3-6 months later, get Surgical Implant treatment again!
Although the inconvenience of any re-treatment is disliked, re-treatment is usually successful the second time."

As you can see from this extract (and you can find it on many other dentists' web-sites), It is not really guaranteed that the implant will stay ok in your tissue, hence the safest method is still crowns, especially if you need several teeth to be done. Moreover the waiting time had simply put me off this procedure!

If you are so keen on impants you may wish to consider cheaper but the same quality options provided in various EU countries, new EU member-states, other Eastern European countries and Russia (in Moscow especially). It can cost three times cheaper than in the UK, and you will see a new country as well.

Wish you good luck!
