Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent, feel like natural teeth, prevent bone loss and last 20+ years. They cost from £2,800 per tooth. Surgery is performed by our Dr San Chatterjee.

Dentures

Dentures are removable, more affordable (from £840), require no surgery and can be fitted quickly. Modern dentures are far more comfortable than older versions but can still slip. Implant-retained dentures offer a middle ground.

Which Should You Choose?

If you can afford implants and your jawbone is healthy, implants are the superior long-term solution. If budget is a concern or you need to replace many teeth, dentures may be more practical. Your consultation covers all options with honest clinical advice.
