Alternative treatments to implants
Dental implants provide a long-lasting, fixed solution for missing teeth, but they’re not the right option for everyone. Your dentist can talk you through the most suitable option for you during an initial assessment.
Find out more about alternative treatments, including comparisons between implants and dentures, and implants and bridges.

*Lines are open Mon to Fri, from 9am to 5pm. We may record or monitor calls.
Implants vs bridges
Implants and bridges are both fixed solutions for replacing missing teeth. With bridges, one or more replacement teeth are bonded together and attached to crowns at either end. Whereas implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and a crown is placed on top. Find out more about the differences between both solutions.
Spread the cost of your dental implants
Patient finance is available for treatments that cost between £250 and £50,000 at 0% APR** when you choose a repayment term of between 3 months and 36 months (subject to the amount of credit), this means that you can spread your treatment cost over a term that suits you, and you don’t pay back any more than you would pay otherwise.
Once you have agreed your treatment plan with your dentist, you’ll have the option to apply.
Terms and conditions apply. Learn more about finance.
