Dental implants aren’t usually free of charge in the UK. Free dental implant treatment is only usually provided in certain extraordinary circumstances, such as treatment as a result of oral cancer or serious trauma.
If you have dental insurance, you might be able to get all or some of the cost covered by the provider depending on the type of policy you’ve taken out.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on numerous factors, like the condition of your mouth, how many implants you need fitting, whether you have a dental insurance policy, where you get the treatment done etc.
The more implants you have, the more it is likely to cost. Pure Smiles offers a competitive range of pricing for dental implants so that you don’t spend a fortune while receiving some of the best dental treatments London has to offer.
Dental implants are fake teeth that are fitted into your mouth to replace missing teeth. They are put in to fill gaps in your smile so that you can chew your food properly and maintain a high degree of oral health.
They are moulded to look as natural as possible and are made out of a strong and highly resistant material that will fit nicely into your gums.
With the right care and diet, your dental implants could last a lifetime! This requires excellent maintenance and cleanliness by brushing and flossing regularly.
In a lot of cases, dental implants last around two decades, so the treatment is certainly considered long-term. If you experience any looseness or want to know the best ways to care for your implants, speak to your dentist.
You might feel some tenderness and sensitivity when you first have your dental implants put in. If this is the case, simply take some over-the-counter medication to combat this. Be cautious of what you eat in the first week or two after the treatment so you can give your mouth ample time to recover properly.
Occasionally, dairy products can cause sensitivity or mild pain post-dental implants. Your mouth could be tender so it’s best to avoid things like cheese, milk, or yoghurts while it recovers in good time.
If you have any concerns about what you can or can’t eat, speak to your dentist who can enlighten you fully.
Dental implants are not normally covered by the NHS unless your circumstances are extenuating, like a form of cancer that causes you to lose teeth or experiencing trauma that has resulted in you losing teeth.
If you don’t fall into the category of extraordinary circumstances, you’ll probably have to pay for your dental implant treatment on the NHS.
Your mouth is numbed with local anaesthetic before the treatment is undertaken so you won’t feel a thing during it. There could be some sensitivity or mild pain in the days that follow the treatment, so just make sure to take extra care of your teeth and gums during this phase and watch what you consume.
If the pain becomes a bit more noticeable, purchase some over-the-counter pain relief which should see to the problem.
