How we check
Dental Implants Local lists UK practices that place dental implants and the dentists who work at them. This page says where each fact comes from, what the labels beside it mean, how fresh it is today, and how to get something corrected or removed.
What we read
- Each practice's own website. Whether it places implants, the prices it publishes, and what it says it offers, such as sedation or a CT scanner. The reading is done by DentalGraph, our data service, and each fact keeps the page it was found on and the date.
- The General Dental Council register. A dentist's registration number, the date they first registered and any specialist list they are on. We say a number is confirmed only when the register returns it under that dentist's name. Today the register has confirmed 6,174 of the 6,377 numbers we hold for dentists at implant practices; 181 did not match and are not shown; 22 are still to be looked up.
- Google. A practice's star rating and number of reviews, with the date we read them. Reviews are about the whole practice, not about implant treatment in particular.
- The Care Quality Commission's register of dental providers in England, to match a practice to its registered provider. We do not show an inspection grade: CQC reports on dental practices say whether the regulations are met rather than giving a rating.
- What a practice or dentist tells us after claiming a profile. That is always labelled as their own statement.
What the labels mean
Every fact has four parts: the fact itself, a status, where it came from and the date we last looked. The status is one of four.
- Confirmed
- We found it on the practice's own website or on a public register.
- Not stated
- We read the practice's website for it and it wasn't stated. That is not the same as the practice not offering it.
- Not checked yet
- We haven't looked for it at this practice yet.
- Stated by the practice
- The practice added it after claiming its profile. We have not confirmed it ourselves.
Three rules follow from that. A search filter never hides practices we haven't checked: they are listed separately under “Not checked for this”, with a count. We never work one fact out from another: offering full arch treatment does not make us assume a CT scanner. And “not stated” means only that the website didn't say it, not that the practice doesn't offer it.
How fresh the facts are today

Does a dentist place implants?
Working at a practice that offers implants is not evidence that a particular dentist places them. We say a dentist places implants only where the practice says so, where they hold an implant qualification, where their stated role is an implant one, or where their own profile describes placing or providing implants. Everyone else has a short entry with their name, practice, role and registration, and no implant content.
Prices
A price here is the starting price a practice publishes for one implant, shown as “from” with the date we saw it and a link to the practice's own page. It is never what you will pay: the final cost depends on bone grafting, sedation, the number of implants and the restoration. Averages are medians of published starting prices and are labelled that way. Where a practice publishes no price we say “No price published” and never estimate one. See the price figures.
Correcting a profile
If something about your practice or about you is wrong, tell us and we will correct it. A dentist can also claim their profile and maintain it. To claim, you need an email address at your practice's own domain, or we phone the practice on its published number to confirm it is you. Anything you add is shown as your own statement.
Removing a profile
Every dentist profile has a “Remove this profile” link. You don't need an account and you don't have to give a reason. We take the profile down within 48 hours, and email you when it is done if you leave an address.
Who we are and how the site is paid for
We are not affiliated with the General Dental Council or the Care Quality Commission. Listing is free. A practice can pay to be the featured implant practice for its area; featured practices are always labelled, and paying does not change any fact shown about any practice or dentist.
