What Is Best for
Missing Teeth?
The best solution depends on how many teeth are missing, your budget, bone health and personal preferences.
Implants: The Gold Standard
Implants (from Β£2,380) are permanent, preserve jawbone, and have 95%+ success rates at 10 years. Best for long-term health.
Bridges: Fixed and Affordable
Bridges (from Β£483) are fixed in place, require no surgery, last 10-15 years. Require healthy adjacent teeth.
Dentures: Cost-Effective
Dentures (from Β£714) replace multiple teeth affordably. Modern dentures are comfortable. Implant-retained dentures eliminate slipping.
