Frequently Asked Questions

As well as the aesthetic benefits, dental implants will support a healthy bite and keep surrounding teeth in their proper positions. Furthermore, the ability to chew with them helps prevent jawbone deterioration. Multiple studies and reviews of dental implants abroad and in the UK have shown that dental implants are also beneficial to your oral health as a whole.

Although there are no strict age limits, dental implants aren’t suitable for under-18s. Many dental experts consider that patients should be over 21 before they seek dental implants, and it may be wise to wait longer because skeletal maturity is rarely complete until a patient reaches their mid-twenties. For older people, their physical health is more important than their age.

Broadly speaking, your gums and teeth should be in good shape. To give adequate support to the dental implant, you also need good bone density. You should commit to habits like brushing and flossing your teeth correctly; and if you smoke, you should consider stopping before you apply for the treatment.

You need a fully formed jawbone, which typically only happens in your mid-twenties. In addition, you also need enough bone to support the implants, or you may need to consider a bone transplant. You should have good oral tissue health and should be free of serious medical problems that might affect bone healing.

Dental implants are intended to be a long-term solution for tooth loss, and they can last anywhere between 20 and 30 years. However, their lifespan is determined entirely by your oral hygiene, so make sure you follow all the aftercare instructions you are given.

The main reason for the high dental implants abroad cost is due to the lengthy training and experience required of all the professionals involved in assessing, producing and fitting a dental implant. The implant itself is made of surgical-grade titanium and inserted into the proper jawbone safely and without causing any trauma, which can be a highly delicate operation.

Yes, a single dental fixture abroad can be used to replace one missing tooth. A titanium post is placed in the jawbone where the lost tooth was located as a replacement for its root by a trained dental implant dentist. Following this, a dental crown is affixed over the titanium post.

That depends on the type and extent of treatment carried out. Rest assured, the prices you are charged will be significantly cheaper than those you might pay in the UK for a similar level and standard of work. Here at Dental Implants Abroad, we are able to charge less for our work while still providing a high-quality service, simply because our overheads are significantly lower. You can find the typical cost of each treatment compared to the average cost for the same treatment in the UK on each of our individual treatment pages. Then, please do request a personalised quote. We always aim to be 100% transparent when calculating our charges so you know what to expect to pay at the time of booking.

In general terms, you must be in good physical health and your gums and teeth should be in good condition. We also need to establish that your jawbone density is sufficient to adequately support the implant. We do not recommend dental implants for minors – in fact, the jawbone doesn’t become fully formed until you are in your mid-twenties, so suitability for the procedure is also age-dependent (although there is no upper limit, provided you meet the other criteria above). Finally, the long-term success of the procedure depends on you committing to maintaining good oral hygiene after the implants are in place – another factor to bear in mind before booking an appointment.

This depends on the course of treatment you are booking. Every patient is an individual and is treated as such, so we will devise a schedule of treatment that works for you and minimises the costs as much as possible. As a rough guide, for dental implants, you can expect a minimum of three visits to our clinic, covering an initial consultation, surgery and then, after healing of the area is complete, fitting of a permanent abutment, crown preparation and crown fitting. How long each of these visits will take depends on how many implants you are having. This timescale does not take into account any need for tooth extraction prior to having implant surgery, whether you need a bone graft to strengthen the area of the jaw, and whether you have any other underlying oral health issues. After your initial consultation, we will be better able to tell you how many visits you will need to make and how long each stay should be.

In the UK, NHS dentists are overwhelmed with patients and individuals often find it difficult to make a timely appointment. Additionally, many cosmetic and restorative procedures such as dental implants and crowns are not widely available to all through the NHS. At the same time, private dentistry in the UK is extremely expensive and out of reach for many people. In Romania on the other hand, you can receive the same level and standards of treatment for a fraction of the cost from fully qualified and experienced dentists, endodontists, oral surgeons and prosthodontists. Romanian clinics offer an extensive range of services from basic fillings to cosmetic procedures and dental implants. Oral health professionals in Romania are highly trained and educated and are typically multilingual. Our country is also an attractive place to visit, with a host of attractions to enjoy, from stunning natural landscapes to rich culture and heritage and fine foods and beverages, and our staff will help ensure your stay is a happy one. 

Depending on the status of the gums and jawbone, there are instances where the best place for dental implants abroad can install an implant to support two adjacent teeth. More typically, several implants are used to secure fixed bridges or removable partials. Each case is assessed on an individual basis.

The cost of a single dental implant can range from £1,500 to £2,500. The total price covers all three elements of the implant: the root replacement, an abutment, and a crown. The scanning and cleaning of the gums and mouth are other expenses you might be charged for. Treatment is often more affordable abroad, where dentists’ overheads are typically lower.

A full mouth treatment with dental implants is an effective alternative for many people when all their teeth need to be removed. A complete mouth implant procedure is the only way to restore as closely as possible the appearance, comfort, and function of natural teeth. It’s worth considering that dental implants abroad prices are often lower than in the UK.
