Dental Implants in Cornwall: Cost, Process & What to Expect
Dental implants are one of the most-asked-about treatments we get, and also one of the most misunderstood on cost. Here’s the short answer: in the UK, a single private dental implant typically costs somewhere in the region of £1,800–£6,000, including the implant, abutment and crown, though the final figure depends on your specific case, the number of teeth involved, and whether any preparatory work (like bone grafting) is needed. Full-arch and multiple-implant cases cost more and are quoted individually. At Revitalise, every implant quote follows a consultation and a proper treatment plan — we don’t quote blind, because the honest answer genuinely does depend on your mouth.
What affects the cost
A few things typically move the price:
- Number of teeth being replaced — a single implant costs less than a full-arch restoration.
- Bone density and whether grafting is needed — some patients need additional bone-building treatment before an implant can be placed.
- The quality and caliber materials used for the crown — this affects both cost and how natural the result looks. We use the best materials in the industry to ensure you get the best out of your investment. The highest standard is employed during the whole process, from planning to the procedure.
- The quality and caliber of the procedure itself. – We typically spend a significant amount of time planning your case using the latest technology. On the day of the procedure use two experienced nurses and you have the full support of our team before and after.
- Sedation, if you choose it for comfort during surgery.
How does it work? The dental implant process at Revitalise, step by step
- Consultation and assessment. We review your dental and medical history, take 3D intra-oral and X-ray scans, and check bone density and your health to confirm you’re a suitable candidate.
- Treatment planning. Because implant work often involves both surgical and cosmetic input, our team carefully plans the case together rather than treating it as two separate jobs.
- Implant placement. The titanium implant is gently placed surgically under local anaesthetic (or sedation, if you’ve chosen that option).
- Healing period. The implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone — typically a few months — before the final restoration is fitted. This process does not cause any discomfort. The implant is coated with special ingredients to help with osseointegration, the bone fusing around it.
- Fitting the crown, bridge or denture. This is where our on-site laboratory makes a real difference: because the crown or restoration is designed and fabricated in-house, turnaround is faster and adjustments can often be made the same day, rather than waiting on an external lab.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are candidates, but factors like gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or heavy smoking can affect suitability or success rates. This is exactly why a proper consultation matters more than a quick online quote — it’s the only reliable way to know whether implants are the right option for you, or whether an alternative (like an implant-retained denture) makes more sense.

Do you guarantee your implants? Absolutely! For five years. You have our full guarantee provided you attend regular 3-6 monthly examinations and hygiene maintenance sessions for your implants every 3 months.
Is getting a dental implant painful? Most patients report mild discomfort rather than significant pain, managed with local anesthetic during the procedure and standard pain relief afterwards.
Do you offer finance for implants? Yes, we offer flexible finance options up to 5 years— ask about this at your consultation.
How long does implant treatment take from start to finish? It varies by case, but a typical timeline runs from a few months to around a year when healing and any preparatory treatment are included.
