Why there is no single price
Cost is the first thing most people want to know and the hardest thing to answer honestly before an examination. Two people who both need one implant can need quite different treatment: one has good bone and needs the implant and a crown, the other needs a graft, months of healing, and then the same implant and crown.
This page explains what actually moves the number, so that when you get a quote you can tell what you are paying for.
What changes the cost
How many teeth. Replacing four teeth does not cost four times one implant. A full arch bridge on four implants is a different calculation from four separate implants.
Whether the bone is ready. This is the largest single variable. Bone grafting or a sinus lift adds both cost and months. Whether you need one is a matter of scan findings, not preference.
The implant system. Established systems cost more and are worth it, mainly because their components will still be manufactured in fifteen years when a crown needs replacing.
The crown material and where the tooth is. A front tooth is harder than a back one. Matching a single front crown to the teeth around it is the most demanding work in the practice, and it takes more laboratory time.
Imaging and planning. A 3D scan is not optional for implant work. In complex cases a surgical guide is made from that scan, which adds cost and reduces risk.
What you get from us
A written plan after the consultation, listing each stage and what it costs, with anything uncertain flagged as uncertain rather than discovered later. If the plan turns out to be wrong, we tell you before doing the work, not after.
If cost is the obstacle
Say so. It is a normal thing to say and it changes the conversation usefully. Treatment can often be sequenced over a longer period, and in some cases a different option is genuinely the better value. There is more on that in implants, bridges and dentures compared.
