1 Dental Implant Can Replace 2 Teeth
Dental implants are traditionally designed to replace individual tooth roots, aka individual teeth. However, modern dentistry has shown that as few as three to four implants can be used to replace an entire mouth of missing teeth.
If two teeth are missing, one dental implant can replace them. However, the teeth must be next to each other in a row, and preferably, teeth should exist on either side of the gap. In this instance, the dental implant’s prosthetic tooth can anchor the other tooth and, therefore, support it, just like a dental bridge can.
How many implants are used?
How many teeth can be fixed to a dental implant?
- 2 teeth can be replaced with one implant
- 3-5 missing teeth would require two implants
- Five or more missing teeth require 3-6 implants
Will you have to pay for two dental implants?
One single dental implant at our clinic costs £2,450 for the implant itself, the abutment and the crown (fake tooth). If, in this instance, we can use one dental implant to replace two missing teeth, then you wouldn’t need two implants and, therefore, wouldn’t pay for two. However, that does not mean to say your final treatment cost would just be £2,450. There are other cost factors to take into consideration.
How much does it cost to replace two teeth
You wouldn’t be expected to pay for dental implants. However, you would typically need to cover the cost of the additional crown, a longer-than-normal procedure and the other materials used to make it happen. So, here, you can expect the cost to be from £3,000 to replace two missing teeth with one implant as a baseline price.
The only other treatment alternative would be a denture or a partial denture, as if you have two missing teeth next to each other, with teeth on either side; a traditional dental bridge might not be recommended in this case. Book a consultation to discuss which treatment will be right.
Is dental finance available?
Our dental clinic employs some of the best dental implant surgeons in the UK, committed to replacing missing teeth and helping patients rediscover their confidence. With that said, we’re one of few practices in the UK that offer patients an extended interest-free period for finance by offering 0% finance over 24 months compared to regular 12-month deals. Patients looking to extend their finances over a longer term can do so up to 60 months, which is interest-bearing of 14.9%.
Dental implant finance examples:
- Single implant: £2,450 / £102 per month interest-free
- Two missing teeth: From £3,000 / £125 per month interest-free
