Patients who are missing one or more teeth often feel self-conscious about their appearance and want to find an effective but affordable solution that looks and feels natural.
As well as the cosmetic and psychological benefits of having missing teeth replaced, there are also other important reasons why dental implants treatment is recommended.
Missing teeth can cause headaches and speech problems, leave other teeth to drift into the wrong position, and result in headaches, jaw bone loss and premature aging in the face.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Dental Implants
What Problems Can Dental Implants Help With?
Missing Teeth Replacement
Dental implants are commonly recommended when a patient has one or more missing teeth and prefers a permanent solution over a dental bridge, crown, or removable denture. They provide a stable and long-lasting replacement option that mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth.
Implant-Retained Dentures
For those who wear dentures, dental implants can offer a secure alternative. Known as implant-retained dentures, these use dental implants to keep the dentures firmly in place, reducing slippage and discomfort often associated with traditional dentures.
All-on-4, All-on-6, and Full Arch Restorations
Dental implants are also used in full arch restorations like All-on-4 or All-on-6, where a full set of teeth is anchored to 4 or 6 implants. This treatment, sometimes referred to as “teeth in a day”, provides a complete arch of teeth that is fixed in place, offering a more durable and comfortable solution compared to traditional dentures.
How Soon Should I Get an Implant Fitted?
Missing teeth often result in a number of dental health issues, so it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible.
Preventing Jawbone Loss
Empty gaps inside the mouth can lead to jawbone loss over time due to a lack of stimulation from the missing tooth. Dental implants help to preserve the jawbone by providing the necessary stimulation that prevents bone resorption.
Avoiding Tooth Misalignment
When gaps are left untreated, neighboring teeth can shift into the unoccupied spaces, resulting in bite problems, also known as malocclusion. These issues can lead to further complications like tooth wear, jaw pain, and even headaches.
Maintaining Oral Health
By replacing a missing tooth promptly with a dental implant, you can prevent misalignment, preserve your jawbone, and maintain your overall oral health. This allows you to chew comfortably and feel confident about your teeth.
Can I Have Teeth Implant Treatment on the NHS?
It is uncommon to have dental implant treatment covered by the NHS. In most cases, dental implants are considered a cosmetic procedure and are not available through the NHS. However, exceptions are made for patients who have lost teeth due to certain medical conditions or trauma.
When Are Dental Implants Covered by the NHS?
Dental implants may be funded by the NHS if the patient has lost teeth due to conditions such as mouth cancer, congenital disorders (such as cleft lip or palate), or severe facial trauma. Patients undergoing reconstructive surgery after these conditions may qualify for NHS dental implant treatment as part of their rehabilitation.
Private Treatment Options
For patients not eligible for NHS funding, private dental implant treatment is an option. Private clinics offer a range of implant procedures, including single tooth implants, All-on-4 treatments, and implant-retained dentures, tailored to individual needs.
Just How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The typical cost to have a single tooth implant placed by a private dental professional in the UK is approximately £2,415. However, this cost can vary depending on the individual requirements of the patient, the complexity of the procedure, and the location of the clinic.
Dental Implant Costs in London
In areas like London, the cost of a single dental implant is typically higher, with an average price of around £3,737. Prices can be influenced by factors such as clinic reputation, the surgeon’s expertise, and additional treatments like bone grafting or sinus lifts that may be required.
Our Dental Implant Fees
Our dental implant fees start from ££, offering competitive pricing for high-quality treatment, including implant-supported crowns, All-on-4, and implant-retained dentures.
What Kind of Maintenance/Follow-Up Care Will My Implant Require?
Dental implants should be cared for in the same way as your natural teeth. While implants cannot develop tooth decay, they are still vulnerable to gum disease and require diligent oral hygiene.
Daily Oral Care
It’s essential to brush and floss daily to maintain your dental implant. Regular brushing helps remove plaque, while flossing helps clean the areas around the implant and prevent the build-up of bacteria that could lead to infection. Using an antimicrobial mouthwash can also help protect against oral health issues.
Routine Dental Visits
Routine check-ups with your dentist are vital for monitoring the health of your dental implant. During these visits, your dentist will inspect the implant and surrounding gums for any signs of complications. A professional cleaning with a dental hygienist is also recommended to remove any hard deposits like tartar (calculus) that can build up around the implant.
Specialized Cleaning Equipment
It’s important to have tartar removed using specialised instruments that won’t scratch the surface of the implant. Scratches can become breeding grounds for oral bacteria, increasing the risk of peri-implantitis (inflammation around the implant), which can lead to gum disease, infection, and potentially implant failure if left untreated.
