Is the price you were quoted normal?
A dental quote is high or low only against what other practices publish. This tool places yours among 39,049 prices read from the fee pages of 983 UK practices on 10 August 2026, and returns the percentage of published prices your quote is above. A single implant quoted at £2,500, for example, sits exactly in the middle of the 215 prices 180 practices publish for one.
2. Where 215 published prices for a single dental implant sit
Median £2,500, from 180 UK practices that publish this price. Type your figure below the line.
Each tick is one hundredth of the published market, for one implant.
Type a figure to compare it against 215 published prices.
How to read the answer
Under the 10th percentile
Cheaper than nine in ten published prices. Worth asking what the figure covers, because the commonest reason a quote is low is that part of the work is billed separately.
Between the 10th and 90th
Where eight in ten published prices sit. A quote here is ordinary, wherever it falls in the band.
Above the 90th percentile
Dearer than nine in ten. That can be right for a complex case or a specialist, and it is the point at which a second opinion pays for itself.
Questions people ask
- How do I know if a dental quote is too expensive?
- Compare it against what other practices publish for the same treatment. A quote above the median is not automatically a bad deal, because half of all published prices are above the median. The test worth applying is whether it clears the dearest tenth, and whether it covers the same work.
- What counts as a normal price?
- Anywhere between the 10th and 90th percentile is where eight in ten published prices sit. For a single implant that is £1,320 to £3,450. Outside that band, ask what is different about the quote before assuming it is wrong.
- Why might two quotes for the same treatment differ so much?
- Usually because they are not the same treatment. Whether a crown is included with an implant, whether laboratory fees are separate, whether follow-up appointments are counted, and the material used all move a quote without either practice being unreasonable.
- Where do the comparison prices come from?
- From practices' own public fee pages: 39,049 prices across 1,481 fee pages, read on 10 August 2026. Nothing here is a survey, an estimate or a model, and no practice paid to be included.
- Does this cover NHS prices?
- No. Every figure here is a private price. NHS charges are set by government and work differently in each nation, which is a separate page.
How these prices were measured
- Every figure comes off a practice's own public fee page. Nothing is a survey, an estimate or a model.
- One price counts once per fee page. A chain's branches all carry the group's list, and counting each branch would let one price list decide the market.
- Prices written as "from £X" are counted separately, not mixed in. That figure is the cheapest case a practice leads with, and it reads the market low.
- Prices covering a whole arch or a full set of teeth are left out of a per-tooth figure, because they sit at the top of every distribution.
- Only the 10th percentile, the median and the 90th are published. The extremes of a scraped corpus are where a mis-read price lands, and no single row can move a percentile.
- Lines that name a different job are dropped per treatment. Re-cementing a crown is not the price of a crown, and an extra whitening syringe is not the price of whitening.
Then read the guide
Each treatment has its own page: what moves the price, what the range covers, and the NHS position on the same work.
