What Happens at Your £40 Consultation
Missing Tooth Replacement — Causes & Treatment
Most Common Causes
- Tooth loss from decay or abscess
- Tooth lost to gum disease
- Trauma or accident
- Congenitally absent teeth
- Failed previous restoration
Our Clinical Approach
Three main options: a dental implant (a well-established option — permanent, functions like a natural tooth, preserves jawbone), a bridge (fixed but involves preparing the neighbouring teeth), or a partial denture (removable, lowest cost). We discuss all three at consultation with the pros and cons of each for your specific situation. Implants are placed by Dr San Chatterjee MID RCS Edinburgh.
Pricing & Finance
Dental implant (including crown) from £2,800. Bridge from £568. Partial denture from £840. 0% finance available over 6 or 10 months on all options.
Typical Treatment Timeline
Bridges and dentures: 2–4 weeks. Dental implants: 3–6 months from start to final crown, depending on bone quality and healing.
