Summary: At Spring Dental Practice in Hull, dental implants start from £2,649 per implant and an implant consultation costs £150. Your final price depends on how many teeth you are replacing, the health of your jawbone and the type of tooth fitted on top. Interest-free finance is available from £500 to £25,000, subject to status.
If you are missing a tooth, or you are fed up with a denture that moves when you eat, you have probably looked into implants and then stopped at the price. That is understandable. It is a big decision, and plenty of practices make the numbers hard to find. This guide sets out what implants cost at our Hull practice, what pushes the price up or down, and how patients spread the cost.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Hull?
A single dental implant at Spring Dental Practice starts from £2,649. That is the starting price listed on our Private Fees page. Your exact quote is confirmed after your consultation, once your dentist has examined your mouth and looked at your X-rays.
| Treatment | Price at Spring Dental Practice |
|---|---|
| Advanced treatment consultation (implants and oral surgery) | £150 |
| Single dental implant | From £2,649 |
| X-rays | From £12 per X-ray |
| Tooth extraction (if needed first) | From £140 |
What Is Included in a Dental Implant?
An implant replaces the whole tooth, root and all. It has three parts:
- The implant: a small titanium post placed in the jawbone, which acts as the new root
- The abutment: a connector that sits on top of the implant
- The crown: the tooth you see, made to match your other teeth
When you get your quote, ask your dentist to confirm exactly what it covers, including any scans, review appointments and the final crown. That way you are comparing like with like if you look at other practices.
What Affects the Cost of Dental Implants?
No two mouths are the same, which is why implant prices are given as a starting point. These are the main things that change the cost.
How many teeth you are replacing
One implant can hold a single crown. If you are missing several teeth, they can sometimes be replaced with an implant-supported bridge or denture, so you may not need one implant for every missing tooth. Your dentist will explain which option suits you.
The health of your jawbone and gums
After a tooth is lost, the bone around it can shrink over time. If there is not enough bone to hold an implant securely, some patients need a bone graft first. This adds time and cost, so it is worth knowing about early. Healthy gums matter too, so any gum problems are usually treated before an implant is placed.
Whether a tooth needs taking out first
If the tooth being replaced is still there but failing, it will need removing before the implant. Extractions at our practice start from £140, and wisdom tooth extractions cost £475.
The type of restoration on top
A single crown, a bridge and a full-arch restoration are very different pieces of work. Full-arch options such as All-on-X, where a full set of teeth is fixed to a small number of implants, are priced individually after a consultation.
Why Do Implants Cost More Than Bridges or Dentures?
Implants are a surgical treatment. They involve precise planning, sterile components, a laboratory-made crown and time for the implant to heal into the bone. For comparison, here are our starting prices for the main alternatives:
| Option | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Dental implant | From £2,649 |
| Dental bridge | From £725 |
| Dentures | From £725 per arch |
A bridge is held in place by the teeth either side of the gap, which usually need preparing to support it. Dentures are removable. An implant stands on its own, so it does not rely on your neighbouring teeth. Many patients choose implants because they feel more like natural teeth and, with good care and regular check-ups, they can last for many years.
Can I Pay for Dental Implants Monthly?
Yes. We offer interest-free dental finance on treatments including dental implants. The key points:
- You can borrow between £500 and £25,000, subject to status
- Finance is available to patients aged over 21
- It is interest-free, so you pay the cost of your treatment and nothing more
- No deposit is needed
You complete a short online application, and our team can help you with it when you visit. Most applications get a decision straight away, so you can book your treatment once you are approved.
Are Dental Implants Available on the NHS?
Only in limited cases. On the NHS, implants are usually reserved for people with a specific clinical need, such as after mouth cancer treatment, serious injury, or teeth that never developed, and they are normally arranged through a hospital referral. For most people, dental implants are a private treatment.
Who Carries Out Implant Treatment at Spring Dental Practice?
Implant treatment at our practice is led by Dr Mihai Cotenescu, who has more than 17 years of experience in implant dentistry, including full-arch All-on-X treatment. You can read more about him and the rest of the team on our Meet the Team page.
What Happens at an Implant Consultation?
Your first appointment is about working out whether implants are right for you. Your dentist will:
- talk through what is bothering you and what you would like to achieve
- examine your teeth, gums and bite
- take X-rays to check the bone where the implant would go
- explain your options, including alternatives to implants
- give you a clear price and a treatment timeline
There is no obligation to go ahead on the day. Many patients take the plan home and think it over.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants in Hull
How much does a single tooth implant cost in Hull?
At Spring Dental Practice, a single dental implant starts from £2,649. Your exact price is confirmed after an implant consultation, once your dentist has checked your bone, gums and X-rays.
Is the implant consultation free?
No. An advanced treatment consultation for implants or oral surgery costs £150. It covers an assessment of your mouth and a discussion of your options and costs.
Do dental implants hurt?
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal, and most people manage it with everyday painkillers.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Treatment usually takes a few months from start to finish, because the implant needs time to heal and bond with the jawbone before the final tooth is fitted. Your dentist will give you a timeline at your consultation.
Can I get dental implants if I wear dentures?
Many denture wearers can have implants, either to replace the denture or to hold it firmly in place. Your dentist will check whether there is enough healthy bone to support them.
