You need dental implants but you can't pay £3,000 per tooth upfront. So you're looking at finance. Before you sign up for a 5-year payment plan at 18% APR, here's what the numbers actually look like — and whether there's a smarter option.
Practice Finance Plans
Most UK implant practices partner with specialist finance companies. You'll see these names everywhere.
0% Interest (6-12 months only)
Standard at practices for treatments over £1,000.
| Treatment Cost | Monthly Payment (12 months) | Total Paid |
|---|---|---|
| £2,500 (single implant) | £208 | £2,500 |
| £5,000 (2 implants) | £417 | £5,000 |
| £15,000 (All-on-4) | £1,250 | £15,000 |
£1,250 monthly payments aren't realistic for most households. And 0% rarely extends past 12 months for larger treatments.
Longer Terms With Interest
Once you go beyond 12 months, interest kicks in at 6.9-14.9% APR.
| Treatment Cost | APR | Term | Monthly Payment | Total Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £2,500 | 9.9% | 24 months | £115 | £2,760 |
| £5,000 | 9.9% | 36 months | £161 | £5,796 |
| £15,000 | 9.9% | 60 months | £318 | £19,080 |
That All-on-4 costs you an extra £4,080 in interest. Enough to cover the entire treatment in several countries.
Main Finance Providers
Chrysalis Finance specializes in dental work. Soft credit checks available.
Dental Finance offers up to £50,000 over 7 years.
Tabeo links directly to your practice's booking system.
V12 Finance does buy-now-pay-later for dental procedures.
All require credit checks. Approval rates typically hit 70-80%. You need proof of income and decent credit.
Personal Bank Loans
Banks often beat dental finance rates, especially for larger amounts.
| Lender Type | Typical APR | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| High street bank | 3.5-7% | £5,000+ treatments |
| Credit union | 3-12% | Smaller amounts, flexible criteria |
| 0% credit card | 0% for 18-24 months | Under £5,000 if you can clear it |
A £15,000 bank loan at 5% over 3 years means £450 monthly and £16,200 total. Still £1,200 in interest, but better than 9.9% dental finance.
Credit cards work for smaller treatments. Barclaycard, HSBC, and Virgin offer 18-24 months at 0% on purchases. Just clear the balance before rates jump to 20%+.
Health Cash Plans
Simplyhealth, Medicash, and WPA offer partial reimbursement for dental costs.
| Plan | Monthly Cost | Annual Dental Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Simplyhealth | £10-£30/month | £100-£500/year |
| Medicash | £8-£25/month | £75-£400/year |
| WPA Health | £15-£40/month | £150-£600/year |
These help with routine check-ups and fillings. For implants, a £500 yearly benefit against £15,000 treatment covers just 3.3%.
Denplan isn't finance — it's monthly dental insurance (£15-£40/month) covering check-ups and basic work. No implants.

Still researching? Good — that's exactly what you should be doing.
The most common things we hear from patients: price changes on arrival, unexpected extra treatments, and not knowing whether the clinic is right for their case. Our dental health check helps you understand what you may need before any clinic gets involved — so you arrive informed, not hopeful.

The Numbers That Matter
Before signing any finance agreement, look at this comparison:
| Scenario | Total Cost |
|---|---|
| All-on-4 UK + 5-year finance at 9.9% | £19,080 |
| All-on-4 Turkey + flights + hotel (cash) | £5,500 - £7,000 |
| Your savings | £12,000 - £13,500 |
Pay cash for treatment abroad and pocket £12,000. Or think about it this way: the interest payments alone on UK finance nearly cover the full cost of treatment in Turkey.
This isn't about compromising on quality. Turkish and Hungarian clinics use Nobel, Straumann, and Osstem implants — the same brands UK practices use. Lower costs come from operational savings, not cutting corners on materials.
What Makes Sense?
Single implant (£2,500): 0% finance over 12 months works well. £208 monthly is reasonable and you pay no interest.
Multiple implants (£5,000-£10,000): Compare your practice's 0% options against treatment abroad. Savings of £3,000-£6,000 are significant at this level.
Full-arch work (£12,000+): Treatment abroad saves more than any finance plan costs. The savings exceed most people's annual holiday spending.
Getting Your Real Options
Whether you finance UK treatment or travel abroad, you need to know exactly what treatment you need first.
A proper assessment shows you:
- Specific treatment recommendations for your situation
- Real prices from verified clinics (UK and abroad)

Key Takeaway
Before you book anything, get a dental health check. Knowing exactly what treatment you need — and what it should cost — protects you from surprise bills, unnecessary procedures, and clinics that don't match your needs.
Know what you may need before you fly
The most common concerns we hear from patients:
- •“The price changed when I arrived — they said I needed extra work”
- •“I didn't know which clinic was right for my situation”
- •“I had no way to compare — every clinic quoted different things”
We built MyDentalFly to solve these problems. Not by replacing clinics, but by making sure you understand what you may need before any clinic gets involved.
Our interactive dental health check lets you map your teeth, answer a few health questions, and get a free report showing what treatment you may need and what it could cost. It's interactive, easy to understand, and designed for people without a dental background.
From there, we match you with clinics based on your actual dental situation — not every clinic suits every case. Some cases need experienced surgeons, some need specific equipment. You compare real treatment plans side by side and decide when you're ready.

Why use a platform for dental treatment abroad?
Think of us like Booking.com for dental tourism — except we assess you first.
Getting dental work abroad means navigating a different healthcare system, a different language, and clinics you've never visited — all while trying to understand what treatment you actually need. Most people do this alone, piecing together information from WhatsApp messages and online reviews.
MyDentalFly organises the entire process. Your dental needs are assessed before you travel, you compare treatment plans from vetted clinics side by side, and everything — from your initial assessment to your aftercare notes — is documented on your patient portal. We're not a clinic and we don't sell treatment. We're the layer between you and the clinic that keeps everything transparent and on track.
