Have a tooth missing in the back of your smile? See the gap every time you smile widely?
If you’re considering using dental implants to replace a missing molar, you couldn’t have landed on a better option.
Since molars are the heavy-lifters of your mouth, replacing them with an implant doesn’t just aesthetically close the gap; it restores full strength and offers the best long-term stability.
Not to mention a higher level of comfort, you’ll be thankful for every single day compared to bridges or dentures.

Make molar implants your first choice
Molars do much more than grind food – they’re the real workhorses behind your bite. Handling up to 200-250 pounds of bite force per square inch (psi), they’re responsible for breaking down food and acting as a surface for your tongue to articulate against during speech.
When a molar is missing, the jaw naturally absorbs less pressure, which can cause uneven wear, bite misalignment, bone loss and even tooth loss over time. When considering a replacement for your missing molar, you’ll need something strong and reliable.
There’s no better choice in this regard than a dental implant, which restores up to 100% of natural chewing strength, compared to 30-60% of bridges or dentures. And the results are more than just aesthetic; they allow you to have clearer speech, better digestion, and the freedom to eat what you want without limitations. It pays to be confident.

What affects the cost of a molar implant?
The price of your molar implant covers the cost of the implant, abutment and crown.
However, as every mouth is unique, certain oral health conditions and factors may increase the cost of your treatment.
For example, some factors that influence the cost of your final bill include:
- Bone quality – if it’s found that you have a lack of bone where the implant needs to be placed during your consultation, additional procedures like bone grafting may be required, which will incur a cost of approximately £500.
- Oral hygiene – The mouth needs to be free of gum disease before dental implants can be placed. Hygiene appointments cost from £85.
- Materials – The higher-grade implant brands and custom crowns are more expensive, but they appear more natural and last longer.
- Clinician expertise and technology – Experienced dentists who utilise more advanced technology may charge more, as they deliver better results.
NHS vs private - your options
Dental implants are rarely covered or offered on the NHS, which means most patients seeking molar implants must seek out private clinics for treatment. However, with this, you can choose the clinic that feels right for you and experience the following benefits:
- Faster treatment times
- More personalised care
- Access to latest implant technology
- Access to the best, clinically-backed implant brands
- Better aesthetic and long-term functional results
