How much does it cost to get a tooth implant? in UK?

Gee, I think you should probably get a few estimates by going in person.





Here in the States an implant (state of the art) will run at least $3,000.00 if you include the surgery, any additional grafts or pins from a second procedure (sometimes necessary due to rejections) and the final crown.





You really do not want to have this procedure done on the cheap, seek the advice of a well referred cosmetic dentist and then pay the price, you will be glad you did.

Reply:A tooth implant is where your gum is cut slightly and a metal screw is fixed (implanted) into your jaw bone. The gum is then flapped back over the screw thread and left to heal for a few weeks. You then go back to the dentist to have the fake tooth fixed onto the screw.


It's quite a technical procedure and it requires a qualified dentist with this specific speciality. I'm sure the price varies a little between dentists, but my dentist charges approximately £2000. I know! It's alot of money - that's a nice holiday in the Caribbean!
Reply:This is not something that a regular dentist does. I don't know how much that it costs, however I guess that it would be very expensive. You could get a bridge instead, its not cheap, however your regular dentist could do this. It involves capping the teeth at either side of the gap and having a false tooth in between. It is still expensive but its cheaper that an implant I think. I had one done about twenty years ago.
Reply:A bridge is cheaper and can be done by any general dentist. It looks as good too and you don't need surgery and done grafting.
Reply:I've had 2 implants a couple of years ago £4 grand the pair.





That includes casts and setting up jigs.





No problems at all with the work.
