Dental implant cost in Cardiff — 2026 pricing
Dental implants in Cardiff typically cost £1,900–£4,300 all-in for a single-tooth replacement, about 5% below the UK median. Exact pricing depends on the clinic, the implant brand, and whether you need additional procedures like bone grafting. Here is how the pricing breaks down locally, and the items that often get left out of headline quotes.
Local context
Cardiff's implant practices cluster around the city centre and Cyncoed; Penarth has a small concentration serving the Vale of Glamorgan.
What's usually included
A reasonable all-in quote in Cardiff covers the consultation, 3D CT scan, implant fixture, abutment, crown, and any review appointments in year one. Ask every clinic you speak to whether the CT scan and the final crown are included in the headline price — they are the two items most often pushed out into extras. If the quote is a single lump sum with no breakdown, ask for itemisation; transparency here is standard practice.
What is often charged extra
Bone grafting (£400–£1,200 locally), sinus lifts (£800–£2,500), temporary teeth during the healing phase, and follow-up visits beyond year one are frequently separated from the headline price. A trustworthy Cardiff clinic will tell you before you agree to anything what the realistic total is, not just the advertised starting price.
Why Cardiff prices look the way they do
Cardiff pricing reflects local practice overheads as much as anything clinical. The implant fixture itself (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Astra) costs the same nationwide; the difference between quotes is the surgeon's time, the practice rent, and the materials chosen for the crown. You will usually find the widest range within a single city, not between cities.
