About Ben

Ben Ashworth leads Smile Insights' regional and market coverage, tracking how private dental implant pricing varies across UK cities and what that means for patients deciding where to book. He has nine years of experience as a UK consumer and market researcher, previously working in retail price comparison and consumer finance. On Smile Insights, he focuses on the quiet reality that the same clinical treatment can cost thousands of pounds more or less depending on the city and the clinic tier, and helps patients make the most cost-effective choice without compromising clinical quality.

Editorial pen name disclosure

Ben Ashworth is an editorial pen name used by the Smile Insights team for continuity of voice across our coverage. The biography above describes the role and experience of the editorial position, not a single real-world individual. We publish under pen names so that our writers can keep their personal information private while we build long-running coverage of the UK private dental market.

All Smile Insights articles are researched and reviewed against UK primary sources (NHS England, General Dental Council, Care Quality Commission, Financial Conduct Authority) and are informational only. For clinical decisions about your own treatment, always consult a GDC-registered dentist after a full examination. Read more on the about page.
