Are £950 Dental Implants Really That Cheap?
Are The Deals You See Online For Dental Implants Really That Cheap? Here’s What You Should Know Before You Commit
We’ve all seen the ads - “Dental Implants from £950!” They promise quick results, beautiful smiles, and even “20-year guarantees.” For anyone considering dental implants, the price tag alone can be tempting. But before you book in, it’s worth understanding what you’re actually getting and what might be missing.
The reality is that implant dentistry is complex. It’s a surgical procedure that involves planning, precision, and long-term care. So when something seems dramatically cheaper than the rest, there’s usually a reason. Here are five essential questions we recommend every patient ask before committing to implant treatment - whether it’s with us or anywhere else.
First, what’s included in the £950 figure? In many cases, that price only covers the implant screw itself - not the complete treatment. You may still need to budget separately for consultations, CT scans, surgical guides, the abutment and crown, and follow-up appointments. At Lytham Dental Clinic, we provide clear, all-inclusive treatment plans so you know exactly what to expect from the start - no surprises, no hidden extras.
Second, who is actually placing your implant? This is critical. Dental implants aren’t just about the product - they’re about the clinician’s skill and experience. Is your treatment being handled by a general dentist or a surgical specialist? How many implants have they placed? And will they see you through the entire journey or hand you off to others? We believe continuity of care is key, which is why every patient at our clinic is looked after by a named, experienced implant dentist from consultation to final fit.
Next, what does that “20-year warranty” actually cover? While it sounds reassuring, the fine print can tell a different story. Some warranties are only valid if you return for annual reviews. Others might only cover the implant screw - not the crown or lab work. And what happens if the clinic offering the warranty is no longer around in five years’ time? At The Lytham,Dental Clinic we offer transparent warranties and long-term aftercare that you can count on - because we’re here for the long haul.
Fourth, how is the implant being planned and placed? The safest and most successful outcomes come from digitally guided procedures, CT-based planning, and custom-made surgical guides. Ask whether your treatment includes these steps - and whether the components and lab work are fully traceable. At our practice, every implant we place is supported by state-of-the-art planning and technology. That’s not just about better results - it’s about peace of mind.
Lastly, what happens if something goes wrong? It’s not a topic anyone wants to think about, but complications do happen. So ask: who is responsible for aftercare? Will you see the same dentist if an issue arises? What support is available in an emergency? When you choose us, you’re choosing a team that knows your case, understands your history, and will be here if you ever need help.
In the end, dental implants are an investment - in your smile, your health, and your future. And while a £950 offer might look good on paper, many patients find that the long-term cost of cut-price treatment far outweighs the short-term savings. That’s why patients come to The Lytham Dental Clinic - for peace of mind, a full-service approach, and the confidence that they’re being looked after properly, by clinicians they trust.
