Dental Implants vs
Dentures
Both implants and dentures replace missing teeth — but they differ significantly in comfort, longevity, cost and maintenance. This guide helps you understand which option suits your situation.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are permanent, feel like natural teeth, prevent bone loss, and last 25+ years. They cost from £2,380 per tooth. Surgery is performed by our specialist Dr San Chatterjee.
Dentures
Dentures are removable, more affordable (from £714), 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 £40 Smile Consultation covers all options with honest clinical advice.
