dental implants at tooth.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental Implants are a permanent way to replace a missing tooth or teeth. The tooth may be missing after a recent extraction or it may have been missing for some time. The implant is a combination of a precision screw fitting that is fitted into the jaw bone with an implant crown - which is the new synthetic tooth. The new implant tooth or teeth are made to exactly fit your gap you have will match the shade of your other teeth.
You, nor anyone else, will be able to notice that the tooth is an implant as it will look very natural. Implants are an everyday procedure for our Implantologists at tooth dental care in London, but require special skills in oral surgery and implant placement to complete. Not all dentists can safely place dental implants and it is important to find a well-qualified and well-experienced Implant expert. At tooth, all implants start with an Implant Consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals, review the implant site, discuss implant options and alternative options and assess viability.
Top 5 reasons for having a Dental Implant:
To replace a missing tooth that has been extracted - for example after a failed root canal treatment, or when the tooth was not restorable owing to decay, wear or damage
To replace a missing tooth that has been broken following an accident
To give you confidence and help you get a more aesthetically pleasing smile if you have had a missing tooth or teeth for a long time.
To insert a tooth that can be used for an implant bridge, replacing multiple missing teeth
Some people are born without certain teeth, so you may never have had a tooth where most people would have one – an implant can replace that tooth for you and close the gap.

How much are Dental Implants at tooth?
The price of a Dental Implant is per tooth and depends on which dental implant system you select (Snucone Implants or Straumann Implants). The price of our implants includes the implant crown - many dentists in London quote low prices but don’t include the implant crown, which is the actual replacement tooth! The price includes the whole process but excludes any additional treatments or scans that may be required (e.g. an OPG scan or bone grafting, which may be required for some patients).
Implant Consultation £75 (c45mins)
Premium Implants £2250 per tooth
Super-Premium Implants £2750 per tooth
We can also provide surgical extractions and bone grafting services if required.
