Wondering if Dental Implants are Cheaper for Seniors?
Dental implants are not cheaper for seniors, and there are no NHS or age-related discounts available. However, options like 0% dental finance or dental insurance can help make implants more accessible. Full-mouth treatments like All-on-4 or implant-retained dentures vary in cost but offer permanent, life-changing results for patients of any age, including those in their 60s, 70s or 80s.
We’re sorry to break the news that older patients or seniors do not have a special rate or discount to replace missing teeth with dental implants.

Moreover, since dental implants are unavailable via the NHS, there’s no specific scheme available to get your treatment for less, meaning if you seek private treatment, you’ll have to fund it.
Also, seeing as most of our senior patients suffer from edentulism (total tooth loss) and require full-mouth dental implants, the costs can quickly add up. But even without discounted treatments, there are still ways you can help make your treatment more affordable.
For example, specific dental insurance plans now cover dental implants, or you can use 0% finance over 12 months to spread the cost after placing a 20% deposit. Or interest-bearing terms up to 60 months.
Let’s dive into the costs
Dental implants cost £2,150, so if you need to replace a single tooth, you can likely get finance for as little as £156 per month. However, keep scrolling if you’re looking for full mouth implant costs for seniors.
On top of the cost of a dental implant, you might face additional fees if you’re not an immediately suitable candidate (for example, if you have bone loss or poor oral health).
Below, we’ve broken down the possible associated costs for your dental implant treatment so that you can factor in the total price, not just the cost of the implant.
When it comes to full mouth replacement using implants, you have two very different options:
- Implant-retained dentures from £5,600 (up to £7,000 in other clinics)
- All-on-4 dental implants from £9,995 (up to £20,000 in other clinics)
Implant-retained dentures are best for patients wanting improved stability and a better solution to wearing traditional dentures at a lower cost. All-on-4, on the other hand, is best for patients who want a more permanent, fixed, natural-feeling solution.
Compare systems
Finance examples use 60-month finance (11.9%).
The price for specific systems like All-on-4 can cost anywhere from £9,995 to £13,995 per arch, depending on your package. But with All-on-4, at least you’ll save money on additional procedures like bone grafts, which you’ll likely require to be a suitable candidate if you’ve had missing teeth for a while or worn dentures for many years.
How old is too old for dental implants?
There is no upper age restriction for dental implants, and you shouldn’t let age be a barrier to treatment. For example, we’ve even treated patients at the age of 70 with braces, so age should never be a factor. If you’re tired of wearing dentures and want to enjoy life without limitations, then dental implants can certainly help – and as they last up to 30 years, you’ll never have to worry about the cost to replace them.
