Your Guide to: Dental Implants Part 1

Welcome to Part 1 of your guide about Dental Implant treatment at Claregate Dental Practice, in Wolverhampton.

My name is Bhup and I am the Practice Principal and implant dentist at the practice. I also provide Invisalign support too.

In this guide we will cover the most common questions asked about Dental Implants. Some more information can be found on our website, and you are always welcome to contact us for a free consultation with our Patient Care Co-ordinators.

How much will implants cost?

• • This depends on how complex your case is.
  • We use the long established and market leader in dental implants: Straumann Ltd, to ensure we are providing the best for our patients.
  • Prices start from £2,500 for simple cases.
  • Additional fees will apply for treatments that need more for complex procedures e.g. bone grafting, sinus lifts, 3D x-ray scans, digital planning etc.

What does the quoted cost include / what are extra fees?

• • Before dental implant treatment can be done, each case is assessed and explained to you carefully.
  • Then we can determine the quote for you.
  • We don’t have hidden surprises too.
  • You’ll be looked after during the whole journey and afterwards too.
  • The quote will breakdown the fees for the implant(s), the crown/bridge/denture, 3D x‑rays/scans, any preparatory work (e.g. lab made guided stents, bone graft, soft tissue graft, sinus lift etc).
  • All work is guaranteed for 12 months.
  • We advise your mouth should be checked and any implants placed to be reviewed at least annually.

How long will treatment take / how many appointments?

• • This depends on how complex your case is.
  • Usually, treatment time can be 3 to 9 months.
  • The treatment is done over several appointments and stages.
  • This gives time for healing and often help spread the cost of the treatment too.
  • You may need a temporary denture or bridge during the 2-3 months of healing time needed.
  • We also offer oral sedation to help reduce any anxiety during the treatment. Please ask for details.
