Tap each gap, or any tooth that’s due to come out. It’s drawn as your dentist charts it, facing you, so your right side is on the left.
Nothing marked yet. One implant with its crown starts at £2,000.
Starting prices from the Smile Cliniq fee guide, October 2026. Your dentist confirms your plan and its cost after examining you.
Every Smile Cliniq implant price includes placing the implant in a sterile surgical room, the cover screw that protects it while it heals, the abutment, your final crown and every disposable used on the day.
A full arch on four implants (All-on-4) starts at £18,000. Where the implants are stable enough, fixed teeth go in on the same day.
0% APR over 6 or 12 months on treatment from £600 to £25,000, through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status.
Representative example: an implant with its crown at £2,000, no deposit, 12 monthly payments of £166.67 (the last is £166.63). Total amount payable £2,000. 0% APR representative.

IV sedation GDC 76521
A consultant in special care dentistry, in the sedation department at Guy’s and St Thomas’ since 2007. She gives IV sedation here for anyone who’d rather be relaxed.
Kevin Vara, dental technician and ceramist (GDC 149617), makes the crowns. You may meet him to match the shade and shape, and he comes in for every All-on-4 fitting.
1
10 minutes
Your options, likely costs, finance and sedation. No examination, nothing clinical.
2
Before anything is booked
Where needed, a low-dose CT scan shows the bone, the nerves and, for top back teeth, the sinus. Nothing proceeds without your full understanding and consent.
3
1 to 2 hours an implant
Under local anaesthetic, with IV sedation if you’d like it. You can have a temporary tooth on the day.
4
Usually 3 to 6 months
The bone grows onto the implant. It takes longer if you needed a bone graft first.
5
One or two visits
Scans go to Kevin, who makes the crown. Fitting takes 1 to 2 hours.
Afterwards, implant hygiene visits (£150) and check-ups twice a year keep your 5-year guarantee valid.
Smile Cliniq publishes the positives, the negatives and the alternatives for its treatments, so you can decide before you come in. For implants, these are the ones to weigh up.
Implant from £2,000
Fixed in place, and the teeth either side are left alone.
Bridge from £450 a tooth
Fixed in place, but the teeth either side are shaped to hold it.
Denture from £495
Comes out to clean. Acrylic, or cobalt chrome from £950.
Both practices open at 8am, Monday to Saturday, and stay open until 8pm on Mondays.
It’s done under local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. You may be sore and a little swollen for a few days afterwards; over-the-counter painkillers usually help. If you’re nervous, Dr Nizarali can give you IV sedation (£400).
Often, yes. The CT scan shows how much bone you have. If there isn’t enough, a bone graft (from £800) or, for top back teeth, a sinus lift (from £800) can build it up first.
You can, but smokers are two and a half times more likely to have an implant fail, and smoking makes the 5-year guarantee invalid. Your dentist will talk this through with you.
Implants and crowns are guaranteed for five years against breaking, loosening and cracking in normal use, as long as you keep up check-ups and hygiene visits twice a year. Bone grafts, sinus lifts and temporary teeth aren’t covered, and nor is damage from grinding, accidents or smoking.
Yes, for treatment from £600 to £25,000, through Chrysalis Finance and subject to status. It’s 0% APR over 6 or 12 months; longer terms carry interest.
Implants are rarely available on the NHS, usually only through a hospital for people who need them after an injury or an illness such as mouth cancer. There’s no age exemption. Smile Cliniq is a private practice, so you pay the prices on this page.
It can cost less up front. Before you decide, ask who will check and clean the implant afterwards, and who puts it right if something goes wrong. Here, the practice that places your implant sees you for check-ups, and the 5-year guarantee applies.
We work with several established implant systems. At your free consultation your dentist explains the ones we use and how they differ.
It takes 10 minutes, at either practice. Send this and the reception team at the practice you choose will ring you to arrange it. If you marked teeth on the chart, they’ll see which ones.
Or call Finchley on 020 8343 1133 or St John’s Wood on 020 7328 1200.
