mydentist is the UK’s largest dental group by number of practices, operating approximately 600 locations across England, Scotland and Wales. For patients considering dental implants, mydentist offers wide geographic coverage and a recognisable brand — but its implant provision is less standardised than some patients expect from a large chain.
Note: UK Dental Guide is not affiliated with mydentist and has received no payment from mydentist or any competitor. All pricing information is sourced from publicly available materials and patient reports.
mydentist Dental Implant Prices
mydentist does not publish a single national price list for implants. Pricing is set at practice level and varies by location and case complexity. Based on patient reports and publicly available information:
- Single implant (fixture + abutment + crown): approximately £2,000–£3,200
- London practices: typically £2,500–£3,200
- Regional practices: typically £2,000–£2,700
- Bone graft (if required): £400–£900 additional
- Initial consultation: £50–£150
Does Every mydentist Practice Offer Implants?
No. Implant provision at mydentist is not uniform across all 600 practices. Many practices refer patients to a local ‘hub’ practice with an implantologist on the team, or to a visiting specialist. Before booking a consultation for implants at a specific mydentist practice, confirm directly that implant treatment is offered there — and whether the implantologist is based at the practice or a visiting clinician.
mydentist vs Bupa Dental Care: Key Differences
- Scale: mydentist has more UK locations (approximately 600 vs Bupa’s 400+), making it more likely there is a practice near you
- NHS and private mixed: mydentist operates a larger NHS patient base than Bupa — more of its practices offer NHS treatment, which can be an advantage if you are an existing NHS patient
- Implant specialist availability: Both chains use a hub-and-spoke model for specialist implantology; call ahead to confirm before travelling
- Price: Broadly comparable — a few hundred pounds’ difference in either direction depending on the specific locations compared
What Do mydentist Implant Patients Report?
Patient feedback on mydentist implants is highly variable by practice — more so than with specialist implant centres. Reviews on Google Maps and Trustpilot from implant patients highlight:
- Consistent positive experiences at practices with a named, experienced implantologist on the team
- Communication and coordination issues at practices that rely heavily on visiting specialists
- Some patients report difficulty with post-treatment follow-up at practices where the treating clinician is a visiting specialist rather than a permanent team member
- Finance options (through Chrysalis Finance) well-regarded — application process and approval straightforward
