You have probably already seen our section on dental implants and like many prospective patients have questions about the cost of dental implants.

That is understandable and there is often some confusion amongst patients regarding the potential costs of dental implant treatments.

Glasgow patients tend to be prudent shoppers and as such we have tried to make all associated fees inclusive where possible regarding implants and restored teeth.

This is reflected in Appletree Dental Care price lists and displayed clearly on our website.

Breaking Down the Cost of Dental Implants

Essentially, the key issues to remember are these:

1. We perform the dental implant first. This costs £1050 (for a single fixture) or £1000 each where more than one is placed.

2. Several weeks later your dental implant or dental implants will be restored. Porcelain work is billed at £800-850 per tooth depending on the type of porcelain. It is important to note, these fees include all laboratory costs such as shade matching and component costs such as gold or zirconium abutments. There are no hidden fees.

3. It is possible to fix dentures or removable appliances to implants and this offers considerably greater resistance to movement when eating more challenging foods such as steak or biting into apples.

We can also avoid the bulk of normal dentures, particularly on the palate where the gag reflex often makes plastic dentures intolerable to many patients.

Removable appliances vary in cost from £2100-3900 depending on whether they involve gold abutments or a titanium bar to lock the denture in situ. They are fabricated with the very best technical expertise to offer highly cosmetic, anatomically formed acrylics and individually placed teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry involves much more than simply replacing enamel with composite or porcelain. The facial profile, lip support and gum positions must be considered after tooth loss. This is particularly so when teeth were removed many years ago or the event was preceded by advanced gum disease and associated bone loss.

A classic and very well-established dental restoration is now the appliance fixed on four implants, often referred to as All On Four. When fabricated in acrylic this will cost £5900-7900 per jaw and provide 12-14 teeth.

If porcelain bridgework on four implants is the chosen final restoration then All On Four is still feasible but limited to ten teeth. This will cost £12000 per jaw.

Remember: your initial consultation is completely free and that this will be a 20 minute appointment with one of our implant dentists in Glasgow.
