Quick answer: we checked the fee pages of 10 dental clinics in Edinburgh (New Town, West End, Tollcross, Bruntsfield, Newington, Slateford and Oxgangs) on 14 October 2026. Their published starting prices for a single dental implant run from £1,495 to £3,500. Nine of them say the price includes the crown, or list the crown on the same page: from £1,495 to £3,500. Many of these are “from” prices, so your final figure is confirmed after a consultation and a scan.

What a Edinburgh implant quote can include
A single implant has three parts: the implant itself (the post in the jaw), the abutment that connects it, and the crown you see. The NHS describes it this way: “a titanium screw is placed into the jaw bone to support a crown, bridge or denture” (NHS). Some clinics give one price for all of it, and others price each part separately. These are the other itemised figures we found on the same clinics’ pages:
- Seven Hills Dental Practice: bone augmentation £432.
- Bruntsfield Dental: bone grafting from £400.
Two of the 10 clinics publish a fee for the first implant appointment or scan, from £90 (Seven Hills Dental Practice) to £150 (Edinburgh Gums & Teeth). Free first consultation, according to the clinic's page: City Dental Care, Bruntsfield Dental, West End Dental and Implant Practice.
Finance terms published on the clinics’ own pages:
- City Dental Care: 0% finance on private treatment from £250
- Slateford Dental Care: Finance up to 60 months, with 0% options for up to 12 months
If you want to spread the cost, ask which lender the clinic uses, the APR and the total amount repayable, and get it in writing before treatment starts.
Whatever the clinic, ask for a written quote that lists the implant, abutment, crown, scans, any bone graft and the follow-up visits before you agree to treatment. Our guide to questions to ask at an implant consultation covers what to check, and the bone graft guide explains when that extra cost applies.
Who inspects dental clinics in Edinburgh?
The CQC is “the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England” (CQC), so it does not inspect clinics in Scotland. Healthcare Improvement Scotland registers independent clinics and publishes their inspection reports, including reports on dental clinics. You can search its register of independent healthcare services by postcode. If the clinic you are considering is on it, read its latest report.
Check the dentist, not just the clinic
The regulator looks at the practice. The person who places your implant is a separate check. The General Dental Council register lets you “confirm whether a dental professional is registered with us and able to practise in the UK”, and the GDC says dental professionals “have to be registered with us in order to work”. You can search the register by name, town or GDC registration number. Ask the clinic for the name of the dentist who will do the surgery, and check them before you pay a deposit.
Can you get dental implants on the NHS in Edinburgh?
Very rarely. The NHS website says implants are “usually only available privately and are expensive”, and that they are only rarely available on the NHS “for patients who cannot wear dentures for certain reasons, such as mouth cancer or an accident” (NHS: dental treatments). For routine tooth loss, every clinic in the table above is a private option. Our NHS dental implants guide explains who qualifies and how a referral works.
