Quick answer: we checked the fee pages of 7 dental clinics in Exeter, Topsham and Exeter Airport on 14 October 2026. Their published starting prices for a single dental implant run from £1,999 to £3,500. Three of them say the price includes the crown, or list the crown on the same page: from £3,150 to £3,299. Many of these are “from” prices, so your final figure is confirmed after a consultation and a scan.
Dental implant prices at Exeter clinics (checked 14 October 2026)
We searched Google Maps for dental implants in Exeter and chose clinics that publish a single implant price on their own website. For each one we read the fee page on the same day and looked up its CQC profile. The table is sorted from the lowest to the highest published price, and every price links to the page it comes from, so you can check it yourself before you call.

Before you compare the figures:
- Just Smile Dental: The practice fee list gives a separate, higher figure for a fully restored implant per tooth (implant, surgery and temporary crown plus permanent crown).
- Dunedin Implant & Dental Clinic: The price list is headed as updated March 2024.
- Exeter Dental Care (Dentistry For You): Fee list published on the Dentistry For You group website, which covers several practices, not only Exeter.
- Life Dental & Wellbeing: The practice's dental implants page gives a different figure for a single implant with porcelain crown: £3,075.
- Prices change. If a figure in the table no longer matches the clinic’s page, the clinic’s page is the one that counts.
What a Exeter 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:
- The Whyte House Dental Group: CBCT scan from £195.
- Exeter Dental Care (Dentistry For You): bone grafting from £300; sinus lift from £300.
Four of the 7 clinics publish a fee for the first implant appointment or scan, from £50 (Exeter Dental Care (Dentistry For You)) to £160 (Life Dental & Wellbeing). Free first consultation, according to the clinic's page: The Whyte House Dental Group, Just Smile Dental.
Finance terms published on the clinics’ own pages:
- The Whyte House Dental Group: Finance for up to 5 years on treatment plans over £500 for registered patients, subject to status
- Dunedin Implant & Dental Clinic: Interest-free finance available
- Life Dental & Wellbeing: 0% finance on treatments above £600
- Exeter Advanced Dentistry: 0% finance with no deposit when paying over 12 months or fewer
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.
How to read the CQC results
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) registers and inspects dental practices in England, but it does not give them an overall rating. In its own words: “Some services – like dentists – we don’t have the legal power to rate.” (CQC: find a dentist)
Instead, each inspected practice shows a result for five areas: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. Here is how to read the CQC column in the table above:
- Regulations met (reports from June 2024 onwards): the CQC says this means “we haven’t found any breaches of the regulations for that area”.
- No action (older reports): the same judgement under the CQC’s previous wording. In both cases the CQC is “not demanding change from the provider”.
- Registered, not yet inspected: the practice is registered but has no inspection yet under its current provider. The CQC says new services are assessed at registration “to check they are likely to be safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led”, and that “follow-up inspections of new services are undertaken regularly following registration”.
- Last report with an older date: the profile shows the date of the last report but no area summary. Open the CQC link to read the full report.
Check the dentist, not just the clinic
The CQC 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 Exeter?
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.
