£2000 a tooth usually for the implant and the permanent crown like restoration over the top.
When paying that much, might as well have a specialist do it, they should be able to demonstrate 5yr sucess rates of 95% or above.

If you have an nhs dentist ask them to refer you. That is what I did when I changed dentist and she seriously messed up a routine filling and cracked my tooth (this was after I changed to a new NHS dentist). I was basically referred to a private dentist who took a look and quoted for the work to "save" the tooth (which basically meant pulling it out and replacing it).
Be prepared to be taken for a ride though, to replace a single tooth over a few appointments the total bill was going to be near on 2k, I still havent had this done yet but plan on doing so once me and the mrs move property.

I thought in the 50s they used to whip all your teeth out if there were a couple of bad ones and give you a whole new set?
Wouldnt that have costed about 15k ??
My mum said she went to school with a girl who said she was having her teeth our, mum presumed a few but she came back with a whole new set!

I'm having one of these but wiht 1 tooth on, was it all painful or does it fit on easy?
You're looking at about £2000/tooth, depending on where you are in the country, plus other factors like if you need a bone graft etc.
Success rates of implants are pretty high. Ask your dentist, no doubt they will have someone they have referred to in the past.
Whereabouts in the country are you?
Hikari K - I've seen a few of your posts, I assume you're also in the drill - fill - bill game?

I had my implant done for free at the eastman dental hospital and the porcelain tooth for free somewhere on harley street as part of a clinical trial.
From what I've seen though they/re between £2-3.5k

I lost my front teeth, my dentist said it would cost around £3600 for both.
