Frequently asked questions
How much do dental implants cost in the UK?
Expect to pay £2,500 to £3,500 for a single tooth implant in the UK, including the crown that sits on top. The exact cost will depend on the condition of your jawbone, the position of the tooth being replaced, and whether you’ll need preparatory work such as bone grafting. Our Wibsey practice offers 0% finance over 12 months so you don’t have to find the full amount up front.
Are dental implants available on the NHS?
Implants are very rarely funded by the NHS. The few cases that qualify usually involve trauma, cancer aftercare or specific medical needs, so the great majority of patients pay privately. We’re a fully private practice in Wibsey, serving Bradford, Halifax and the surrounding area, and we’ll set out the full picture in a no-pressure consultation.
How long do dental implants last?
A well-cared-for implant routinely lasts 25 years or longer, and the titanium post that anchors it is designed to be permanent. The crown that finishes the implant usually needs replacing every 10 to 15 years through normal use. Good cleaning habits at home and avoiding smoking are the two biggest factors in extending the life of an implant.
How painful are dental implants?
The reality of implant surgery is normally far less painful than people imagine. It’s a similar experience to having a tooth removed, with local anaesthetic keeping you numb during the appointment and over-the-counter pain relief covering the days afterwards for most patients. Mild discomfort typically peaks 48 to 72 hours after the procedure, then drops away.
Can you get dental implants if you have bone loss?
Bone loss doesn’t automatically rule out implants. We can often build up the bone first with a graft, which gives the implant a strong base to integrate with. We use 3D imaging to assess your bone density in detail before planning treatment, and our dentists routinely work with patients whose bone has reduced over time.
What is the average cost of a one-tooth implant?
Most single implants cost £2,500 to £3,500, and that price covers the implant, the abutment piece and the crown. Our Wibsey practice offers 0% finance over 12 months on plans over £500, which makes a single implant much easier to budget for.
What are the 3 types of dental implants?
There are three broad implant types: single implants (one tooth), implant-supported bridges (groups of missing teeth), and full arch implants such as All-on-4 (replacing all the teeth in a jaw). Which one is appropriate depends on the scale of what you’re replacing.
How much do full mouth dental implants cost?
At TDC, a fixed full arch of teeth on implants starts from £13,500 per jaw, or from £17,995 if you’re replacing both your upper and lower teeth. The All-on-4 approach, where four implants secure a whole arch, is generally the most affordable route for a full mouth result.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients tell us the procedure felt nothing like they’d dreaded, with the appointment being broadly comparable to a tooth extraction. We use local anaesthetic to keep the area completely numb, and IV sedation is available if you’d prefer to feel deeply relaxed throughout. Clear written aftercare goes home with you so any mild soreness is straightforward to manage.
