Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of  titanium which is placed into the jawbone. It is used to support one or more teeth. In practice, both the teeth and their supporting titanium root are known as ‘implants’.

Are dental implants safe? How long will they last?

Implants are a well-established, tried-and-tested treatment. 90 percent of modern dental implants last for at least 15 years.

Do dental implants hurt?

Placing the dental implants requires a small operation, carried out under local anaesthetic or  sedation. You will not feel any pain at the time, but you may feel some discomfort during the week following the surgery. The implant placement surgery usually only takes a short time and after all procedures we provide pain relief for any discomfort or swelling.

Is the treatment expensive?

At Brighton Implant Clinic our dental implant fees are extremely affordable compared to other dental practices.  We guarentee that you will not find dental implant treatment cheaper anywhere in the UK. Our implant fees are 50% less than most UK clinics. We treat patients from across the UK 6 days a week. Patients travel from far and wide as we save patients hundreds of pounds in dental implant treatment costs.

A single tooth implant costs only £995 inclusive of dental implant, permanent abutment and full metal ceramic crown. In many situations, the cost of a single tooth implant is  only a little more than the more conventional treatment with crowns and bridges. There are advantages to dental implants, too - an implant to replace a single tooth avoids the need to cut down the teeth either side for crowns to support a bridge. Normal dentures often mean you can’t eat or speak well, due to the dentures moving about, but a tooth attached to an implant doesn’t cause this problem.
