❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Why do dental implant prices vary so much between clinics?
The hardware is usually identical. The titanium screw at a £3,000 practice and an £8,000 practice is often the same component from the same manufacturer. The price reflects whether the clinic spent the time and specialist hours to assess your bone, gums, bite, and surrounding teeth before placing anything permanent.
What should a dental implant assessment include?
A proper assessment includes a cone beam 3D scan (not a flat X-ray), pocket depth measurements around all teeth in the mouth, a bite analysis, and a full review of every tooth near the implant site. If any of these steps are skipped, the clinic is assuming your mouth is suitable rather than confirming it.
How do I know if a dental clinic is cutting corners on implants?
Ask: "What does your pre-implant assessment involve?" A thorough clinic will describe a specific process including 3D scanning and a full gum evaluation. A clinic cutting corners will describe a consultation, a standard X-ray, and a price. Being told you are suitable for implants in the same first appointment, without scanning, is a warning sign.
