How Much Do Dental Implants Cost In The UK?

Also known as ‘teeth in a day’, our full mouth dental implant treatment is the best option for patients with a full mouth of missing teeth, ill-fitting dentures, or failing teeth. With this cutting-edge treatment, it’s possible to restore your smile in just a single appointment. Full mouth rehab is an extremely predictable course of treatment for replacing one or two full arches of missing or failing teeth.

Using computer-aided smile design, we can show you how your teeth will look before treatment begins and accurately identify where to place the implants for best results. Full mouth rehabilitation uses 4–6 implants, which are specifically angled to support a prosthesis encompassing a full set of teeth. This makes it much more cost-effective than having single implants for each gap. The technology and method we use allow for the placement of a whole arch of temporary teeth in just one appointment.

Our implant surgeons have performed thousands of full-mouth dental implant cases and continue to undergo specialist training to keep up to date with the most cutting-edge treatment planning placement techniques. Once your temporary teeth have been placed, you can enjoy a full smile whilst you wait for your jaw to recover from the implant surgery.

Our patients love full-mouth dental implants because:

They no longer need to wear a traditional set of dentures.
No risk of slipping and sliding dentures.
Improved speech and chewing ability.
No gum irritation as your new teeth are fixed in place.
Completely bespoke and natural-looking.

The surgical procedure to place an implant usually takes one to two hours. However, the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final fit, can take 10 to 16 weeks.

The cost of full mouth implant treatment in the UK can vary depending on the type of implant, the number of implants required, and the type of dental bridge required. Prices can also vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, as some patients may require Sedation, Bone Grafting, or Gum Disease treatment. In the UK, treatment prices often range between £10,000 – £15,000 per arch.

Yes, we offer interest-free and interest-bearing finance so that implants remain accessible to all our patients. Whilst implants may be the premium solution for tooth loss, they are the ones that are most likely to last your whole life.

Most patients report that the procedure is not painful, though you may experience some discomfort. You will be given painkillers after the surgery.

Yes, after a period of healing, patients can eat whatever they desire with full mouth implant treatment.

Smoking and drinking alcohol can negatively impact the health of your gums and bones, so you may need to reduce or quit before or during treatment.

Implants are suitable for most fully grown adults who are in good general health and have no dental disease.

If you don’t have enough bone to place implants, you may need a bone graft before the procedure. This can add another 3–6 months to the treatment duration.

No, you should not drive or take public transport after surgery.

With the right care, there’s no reason why your implant can’t last a lifetime. As they behave like real teeth, they can also be cared for in the same way as you would care for a real tooth. Brushing, flossing, eating a low-sugar and low-acid diet, and having regular dentist and hygienist visits are all integral to the long-term success of implants. Implants at Westmount Dental have a 98% success rate, so they’re an incredibly predictable treatment.

We will be able to determine for certain if you are suitable for dental implants, but generally, if you are in good health, you will be suitable. We will assess the general condition of your mouth and look at the quantity and quality of bone to see if dental implants are an appropriate treatment. We very often take radiographs (X-rays) of the area, which indicate the amount of bone available for implant placement.

Dental implants are often inserted extremely carefully while under local anaesthesia. You should anticipate some soreness and swelling for a few days after this, but you will soon be able to resume your regular activities. Following this treatment, comprehensive aftercare advice is provided, and if you have any questions, we provide a phone number so you can call us for guidance and comfort.

It’s a rather simple surgery that may typically be performed under local anaesthesia. After the procedure, you might feel uncomfortable, and you’ll probably be prescribed pain medication to help with any pain you might have. Nonetheless, the majority of patients generally state that the surgery was not at all unpleasant, at least not as much as they had anticipated.

One implant can often be placed in about an hour, though this depends on how complicated the case is. This will rely on how much extra work is needed on your gums or any bone grafting that may be necessary.

It is necessary for the implants to adhere to the bone through a process known as osseointegration. The quality of the bone where the implants were inserted affects how long this waiting period lasts.

The quality and amount of bone are essential for effective implants, and occasionally, we must replace missing bone, which typically takes the shape of a little augmentation around the implant’s neck. We may typically do this procedure concurrently with implant implantation, depending on the extent of the deficit.

We understand that coming in to seek implant-based treatments is a huge life event. Our clinicians are compassionate people who encounter many patients who feel self-conscious about the condition of their mouths.
