How much does it cost to have tooth implants?
In the UK, the cost of a single tooth implant typically ranges between £2,000 and £4,000, which usually includes the implant fixture, abutment, and final crown. More complex cases, such as bone grafting or multiple implants, may increase the overall investment. Full-arch implant solutions can range from £8,000 for implant-retained dentures to £20,000+ for fixed teeth per arch. Patients considering Implants should ensure pricing includes diagnostics, surgical placement, restorations, and aftercare, as provided at Aspire Dental & Facial Aesthetics.
What is the downside to dental implants?
Dental implants require minor oral surgery and sufficient bone to achieve long-term stability. Treatment time can be longer than alternatives due to healing phases, and implants are a higher upfront cost compared to dentures or bridges. As with any surgical procedure, there is a small risk of infection or implant failure. However, with careful assessment and planning, these risks are low. At Aspire Dental & Facial Aesthetics, our structured approach to Dental Implants Teignmouth helps minimise complications and maximise success.
How long does a tooth implant last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental reviews, dental implants can last 20 years or more, and often a lifetime. The implant itself is designed to integrate with the jawbone permanently. While the crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear, this does not usually affect the implant fixture. Longevity is one of the key reasons patients choose Dental Implants Teignmouth.
How painful is a dental implant?
Implant placement is generally far less painful than many patients expect. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, meaning discomfort during surgery is minimal. Mild soreness or swelling may occur for a few days afterward and is usually well controlled with simple pain relief. Most patients report less discomfort than with a tooth extraction. If you are exploring Dental Implants Teignmouth, Aspire Dental & Facial Aesthetics is committed to ensuring your experience is as comfortable and reassuring as possible.
