One of the most common concerns about dental implants is their cost, which can run into thousands of pounds. Many patients ask why they are so expensive compared to other tooth replacement options.
The price of a dental implant is influenced by several key factors, including:
Comprehensive planning & assessment
Before placing an implant, a detailed consultation, X-rays, and sometimes 3D scans are required to assess bone density and overall oral health.
This ensures the best possible outcome.
Surgical procedure
Placing a dental implant is a precise surgical procedure requiring skill and expertise.
This involves inserting a titanium post into the jawbone, which then fuses with the bone over time.
High-quality materials
Dental implants are made from biocompatible titanium, a material that integrates with the bone while being durable and resistant to corrosion.
The abutment and crown are also crafted from strong, natural-looking materials, such as porcelain or zirconia.
Customised restoration
Once healed, the implant is restored with a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.
These restorations are carefully designed to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth for a seamless result.
