There is a huge variance in the cost of implants being charged by UK dentists, according to new research.

The price being quoted by dentists varied from between £1,000 and £2,500. The research revealed that 43.5% of dentists said that on average they charged under £1,500 for an implant but 22% said the average cost was £2,000 or more.

The independent research for Implantium, a newly launched provider of dental implant solutions, was conducted amongst a representative sample of 50 dental practices from across the UK in August.

Implantium says that one of the main reasons why the cost of dental implants vary so much is because of the huge difference in prices being charged by manufacturers and distributors.

Implantium is looking to help drive down the cost of implants by under cutting the average market price by 45%.

Jason Buglass, a dentist and managing director of Implantium said: ‘Many Britons lack self-confidence as a result of their teeth. Dental implants make a dramatic difference to a person's appearance and can have a huge impact on their confidence. We are looking to make dental implants a more financially realistic proposition for people by enabling dentists to drop their price for this service.'

Can we all do free advertising on here?

I thought WHO does the labwork or place the implants is more important than the parts, maybe you would like to go to unknown surgeon in India for cheap kidney transplant because they use the slogan Cheap is Best?

Perhaps it is stupidity with health that is cheap and plenty!

Dental implants vary widely in cost depending on the dentist, the complexity of the case, and the dental implant product used.
