Dental Implants Cost in Dublin 2026: The Honest, Transparent Guide

Empire Clinic Empire Clinic | | 6 min read | Updated:

If you are searching for dental implants in Dublin, the first question is almost always the same: how much does it cost? Prices in Ireland vary widely — from around €1,500 for a single tooth to over €15,000 for a full arch — and many clinics quote “from” prices that don’t include the crown, the scan, or follow-ups.

At Empire Clinic on Parnell Square, we believe in transparent, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees. This guide walks you through every implant cost in Dublin for 2026, what’s actually included, and how the 20% tax refund works.

Single Tooth Implant Cost in Dublin

A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with a titanium screw fused to the jawbone, an abutment, and a custom crown on top. At Empire Clinic the standard cost is:

  • Implant (titanium screw): €650
  • Crown on implant: €650
  • Implant with crown (limited offer): €1,500

For comparison, single tooth implants across Dublin typically cost between €1,800 and €3,500, with premium clinics charging up to €5,500. Empire’s all-inclusive €1,500 is one of the most affordable transparent prices in the city.

What’s included in our single tooth implant price

  • Pre-treatment consultation
  • CBCT-guided implant planning
  • Implant placement (surgery)
  • Custom zirconia crown
  • Healing abutment and follow-up reviews

Diagnostics and additional procedures (CBCT scan €150, bone graft if needed) are priced separately and discussed at your free consultation.

Implant Bridge Cost (Replacing 3 or More Missing Teeth)

An implant bridge replaces three or more adjacent missing teeth using two or more implants supporting a fixed bridge — no need to grind down the healthy teeth on either side.

Costs depend on the number of implants and the bridge material. For example, a 3-unit zirconia bridge supported by two implants would typically run around €2,500–€3,500 at Empire, far below the Dublin average of €4,000–€6,000 for the same restoration.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 Cost (Full Arch Implants)

For patients missing most or all of their teeth in one jaw, All-on-4 and All-on-6 deliver a complete fixed set of teeth on just 4 or 6 implants.

  • All-on-4 (4 implants + 10–12 zirconia crowns): €6,500 per arch
  • All-on-6 (6 implants + 12–14 zirconia crowns): €8,000 per arch

Across Dublin, All-on-4 averages around €11,000 per arch and can reach €15,000 at premium clinics. Empire’s €6,500 all-inclusive price for All-on-4 is among the lowest transparent quotes in Ireland — and it includes the zirconia bridge, not just the implants.

Same-Day / Immediate Implants — Does It Cost More?

Immediate implants place the implant in the same appointment as the tooth extraction, often with a temporary crown the same day. This can save weeks of healing time and a second surgical visit.

At Empire Clinic, immediate implants are charged at the standard implant rate — there is no premium for same-day placement when the tooth and bone allow it.

What Can Add to the Cost

Some patients require preparatory procedures before the implant can be placed. These are quoted separately so you only pay for what you actually need:

CBCT 3D Scan

A CBCT scan €150 gives a 3D image of the jawbone and nerves, used for precise implant planning. We use it for every implant case to minimise risk and improve placement accuracy.

Bone graft or sinus lift

If you’ve been missing a tooth for a long time, the jawbone may have shrunk. A bone graft rebuilds the volume needed to anchor the implant. Pricing is confirmed after the CBCT scan during consultation.

Provisional crown

A temporary acrylic crown €200 can be fitted while the implant integrates, so you’re never without a visible tooth.

20% Tax Relief on Dental Implants in Ireland

Dental implants in Ireland qualify as non-routine dental treatment, which means you can claim a 20% tax refund through Revenue.

Whatever you pay, you get 20% back. For an Empire single-tooth implant package, the refund covers roughly the cost of the CBCT scan. For All-on-4 or All-on-6, the refund is in the four-figure range.

How to claim the dental tax refund

  1. We give you a completed Med 2 form after your treatment.
  2. Submit the Med 2 with your annual tax return via Revenue’s myAccount portal.
  3. Revenue refunds 20% of your treatment cost directly into your bank account.

You can claim for treatment received in the previous four tax years, so it’s worth checking past receipts too.

Should You Travel Abroad for Cheaper Implants?

Dental tourism to Turkey, Hungary and Spain has grown rapidly, with prices that look unbeatable on paper. But before you book a flight, consider:

  • No Irish guarantee. If something fails 6 months after returning home, the abroad clinic is gone.
  • No tax relief. Med 2 forms only cover Irish-licensed dental treatment, so you lose the 20% refund.
  • Follow-up cost. Most Dublin clinics charge to fix or maintain implants placed abroad, often more than the original “saving.”
  • Compressed timelines. Implant healing takes 3–6 months. A week-long trip can’t deliver proper integration.

At Empire Clinic our prices are designed to be the most competitive in Dublin while keeping you under Irish regulation, with a full guarantee and tax-deductible receipts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental implants painful?

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic and most patients report less discomfort than a tooth extraction. Mild soreness for 3–5 days is normal and managed with regular painkillers.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene, dental implants can last 20+ years — many last a lifetime. The crown on top may eventually need replacement after 10–15 years.

How long is the full treatment?

From first consultation to final crown, expect 3–6 months including the healing phase. Same-day temporary crowns can be fitted in many cases so you’re never without a visible tooth.

What if my jawbone isn’t strong enough?

A bone graft can rebuild jaw volume in most cases. We confirm this during the CBCT scan at your consultation. If a graft is needed, healing takes an additional 3–4 months before the implant goes in.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed. Book a free consultation directly with one of our implant dentists.
