Dental Implants London

The price of dental implants in London can vary depending on several factors, including the practice you choose for your treatment and the quality of the implants used.

It’s also important to note that there is no set price for dental implants, as every patient is different and has different requirements – with some needing single implants and others requiring additional dental work before the implant can be placed (i.e. tooth removal, bridge placement, etc.).

But here at Finsbury Dental Care, we pride ourselves on offering transparent pricing for dental implants in London and will always explain the price in full, ensuring no hidden costs.

We appreciate that the idea of getting dental implants can be daunting whether or not you have a fear of the dentist. But there is no need to feel apprehensive when you come to Finsbury Dental Care for dental implants in London.

Our team of specialists ensure that all patients are made to feel welcome from the moment they walk through the door. We’ll talk you through the procedure so you know what to expect and we’re always on hand to reassure you.

Typically, the procedure is done under local anaesthetic (or oral sedation for patients with anxiety) and we only begin once the tooth area is completely numb. Because the nerves surrounding the dental implant area are numbed, you shouldn’t experience any pain during the procedure itself.

Once the anaesthesia wears off, you can expect some tenderness – but this shouldn’t cause you too much discomfort. If necessary, you can take over the counter medications to alleviate it.

Dental implants in London provide a permanent solution to tooth loss and can last anywhere between 20 and 30 years – providing you take good care of them.

Of course, it can differ from patient to patient, but the longevity of your implant depends on:

• Your oral practices – simple things like brushing and flossing twice a day and attending regular dental check-ups, can prolong the lifespan of dental implants.
• Your oral health – to ensure your dental implants last as long as possible, you’ll want to avoid smoking and drinking heavily (particularly before and after the implant has been placed).
• How you use your teeth – your teeth are not tools. Avoid biting or chewing hard items, as these can significantly reduce the longevity of your implants.
• How much experience your dentist has – if the procedure is done by an experienced clinician, the chances are your implant will last longer. This is because they know how to place the implant, evaluate the osseointegration process, and determine if the jawbone has fused with the implant or not.
• The location of the implant – dental implants that are positioned at the back of your mouth are used more actively in chewing, which means they are likely to wear out quicker than those at the front.

At Finsbury Dental Care, we deal with patients seeking dental implants in London to replace either one, several, or all of their teeth every day.

Although most people are good candidates, there are a few instances where this treatment might not be recommended.

For example, you must have healthy gums with no untreated tooth decay or gum disease. Stopping smoking will increase the success of treatment, and any dental problems must be resolved before implants are placed.

Certain medical conditions – including uncontrollable diabetes, cancer, blood clotting disorders, or problems with the immune system – and medications, such as steroids, can prevent you from having dental implants in London.

People who severely grind or clench their teeth might not be suitable candidates either, as this habit can put too much pressure on the implant and cause long-term damage.

The best way to determine whether you’re an ideal candidate for dental implants is to book a consultation at our London-based clinic. We can carry out an examination of your teeth and tell you there and then whether it’s possible to proceed.

A common concern of patients considering implanted replacement teeth is whether they will look real or not. It’s an understandable concern, as some standard dentures may not achieve the appearance you want, or you may worry about highly stylised veneers that you’ve seen in the media.

However, when you come to Finsbury Dental Care for dental implants in London, you won’t have to worry about this. Our highly trained professionals have the skill and experience to design prosthetic teeth for rooted implants to your exact requirements, shaping them to your gum line for the utmost comfort and matching their shape and colour to your surrounding teeth for pleasing symmetry.

One of the main reasons that dentures cause discomfort and become obvious to others is that they can shift in the mouth and even fall out when trying to eat or talk, causing embarrassment. The benefit of having implants, which feature the tooth cap on top of a titanium post inserted into the jawbone, is that they are securely anchored – so, since they look like real teeth and function like real teeth, nobody will know that your dental implants are false teeth.

Yes. We can assure you that the dental implant procedure is completely safe, and as long as the patient follows the correct aftercare steps and maintains regular oral hygiene, they will remain safe for their lifespan – functioning as real teeth would, without having to remove them for cleaning.

Of course, there are risks involved with any surgical procedure, but this is why you won’t be recommended for dental implants if you aren’t a suitable candidate. At Finsbury Dental Care, we thoroughly evaluate not just your oral health, but also your general health and medical history, to make sure that dental implant surgery would have a high chance of success. 

The materials and methods used have all been carefully designed to enhance compatibility, resulting in a high success rate for most dental implant surgeries. When you have been approved as an eligible patient and the correct procedures are followed, the chances of failure or biological rejection are extremely low. 

Should you have concerns about the safety of dental implants or any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to contact the team at Finsbury Dental Care for advice.
