Dental Implants Abroad

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a permanent foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that match your natural teeth.

Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don't slip or move, and they help preserve your jawbone structure. They're the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a natural look and feel that can last a lifetime with proper care.

The Implant Process

Consultation & Planning (Visit 1 - Day 1)

Comprehensive examination, 3D CT scan, treatment planning. Your dentist will assess bone quality and plan implant placement.

Implant Placement (Visit 1 - Day 2-3)

Titanium implants surgically placed into jawbone under local anesthetic. Temporary crowns fitted. Takes 1-2 hours per implant.

Healing Period (3-6 months at home)

Osseointegration - implants fuse with your jawbone. You'll wear temporary crowns during this time.

Final Crowns (Visit 2 - 5-7 days)

Return for final crown fitting. Custom-made porcelain crowns are attached to the implants. Final adjustments and polish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20-25 years or even a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years, but the implant itself rarely fails.

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is done under local anesthetic, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Afterward, mild discomfort is normal and manageable with standard painkillers. Most patients report less pain than a tooth extraction.

Are implants abroad safe?

Yes, when done at verified clinics with qualified dentists. Our partner clinics use the same implant brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) as UK dentists, meet international standards, and have British-trained dentists.

What brands of implants are used?

Our clinics use premium brands including Straumann (Swiss), Nobel Biocare (Swedish), Osstem (Korean), and other internationally recognized manufacturers with decades of research and proven success rates.

What if something goes wrong after I return home?

All implants come with warranties (typically 5-10 years). If issues arise, clinics will fix them at no extra cost. Many also partner with UK dentists for local follow-up care.

Do I need to make multiple trips?

Yes, typically 2 trips: First visit for implant placement (5-7 days), then 3-6 months healing at home, then second visit for final crowns (5-7 days).
