Dental Implant Costs UK 2026 | Full Mouth Implant Prices & 48-Hour Teeth

This cost guide covers everything you need before making a life-changing investment in yourself: insurance, finance plans, and how pricing is calculated, along with UK average prices and how they compare with Dental by Design.

Dental Implant Costs UK 2026 | Full Mouth Implant Prices & 48-Hour Teeth

The Average Dental implant price in the UK range from £1,400 to £3,500 per tooth in 2026, with full mouth restoration typically ranging from £25,000-£35,000.The average UK patient then spends £1,900-£2,700 per single implant, while All-on-4 full arch solutions range from £12,500-£15,000 per jaw. We'll show how these prices compare with Dental by Design below and how we are able to provide the same quality at up to 60% less than traditional UK practices.

Most people are extremely worried about the upfront cost of dental implants..jpg

Most people shopping around for dental implants ask, “What’s the cheapest price?”
But that is the wrong question.

Because the cheapest option at the start can often become the most expensive choice in the end.     

The real question is this: What if the “cheapest” option ended up costing you far more than money? 

Research has linked severe tooth loss with reduced quality of life, poorer nutrition, wider health risks, and even shorter life expectancy in some studies.

So when you compare dental implant prices, the real question is not just:

“How much does it cost?”  

The real question is:

“What am I actually getting for that price, and will it protect my health, confidence, and quality of life long term?” 

At Dental by Design, we believe patients should look beyond the headline number and understand what really matters: 

✅ A precise treatment plan
✅ An experienced clinical team
✅ High-quality materials and technology
✅ A solution designed for long-term function, comfort, and confidence
✅ A clear path to fixed teeth without unnecessary delays, patch-ups, or surprises

Because the cheapest option is only cheaper if it actually solves the problem.

And when it comes to your smile, your health, and your future, getting it right the first time matters. 

The truth is, many people do not lose money because dental implants are expensive.

They lose money because they spend months, sometimes years, trying to make the wrong solution work.

A loose denture.
A temporary fix.
A cheaper treatment that was never designed to last.
A patch-up that only delays the real problem.

And while they are waiting, the situation can get worse.

Bone can shrink.
Teeth can become looser.
Infection can spread.
Confidence can disappear.
The treatment that may have been simpler today can become more complex tomorrow.     

That is the hidden cost most people do not see.

It is not just the money.

It is the time lost, the stress carried, the compromises made, and the risk of needing to pay again later for a solution that should have been planned properly from the beginning. 

The hardest part of comparing dental implant prices is not always the number itself.

It is knowing what that number actually includes.

One clinic may advertise a lower starting price, but that does not always mean the final treatment will cost less. Scans, extractions, temporary teeth, final teeth, sedation, lab work, reviews or maintenance can sometimes be added later, making it difficult to compare your options properly.

That is why transparency matters.

Before making a decision, you should be able to understand exactly what you are paying for, what may affect the final cost, and whether the treatment being recommended is truly the right long-term solution for you. 

Because the smartest patients do not just ask:

“How much does it cost?”

They ask:

“What is included, what could change, and how do I make the right decision the first time?”

Without clear costs, it’s hard to know what your options really are or how to take the next step

This guide gives you the clarity most clinics don't. It breaks down average implant costs across the country, explains how insurance may affect your treatment, and outlines what you might need to qualify for an affordable monthly payment plan so you can confidently choose the right dental implant provider.

We'll show how national average prices compare with Dental by Design below and how we are able to provide better quality at up to 60% less than traditional UK practices. 

Before you compare prices, first find out what kind of treatment you may actually need.

  • Some patients only need one implant.
  • Some need several teeth replaced.
  • Some are struggling with loose dentures.
  • Some have failing implants from previous treatment.
  • Some may be suitable for permanent teeth in 48 hours.
  • Others may need additional planning, bone grafting, or a different approach.

The fastest way to understand your next step is to take our 60-second eligibility quiz.

Start Quiz

How many teeth are you currently missing?

Your quiz result does not replace a clinical diagnosis. A dentist will confirm suitability during your consultation. 

What real value looks like  

Price is only one part of the picture. Real value is everything you get for it. Two implant treatments can have very different price tags and still represent completely different value. What actually determines the long-term worth of your treatment is what's included in it: 

  • Clinical experience
  • Advanced planning and guided surgery
  • High-grade materials
  • An in-house dental laboratory
  • Predictable, natural aesthetics
  • Fewer visits and fewer complications
  • A result built to last
  • A team equipped to handle complex cases

At Dental by Design, this is exactly what we focus on. We were voted Best Patient Care UK 2024, voted Best Implant Clinic UK 2025, and we are proud to have hundreds of 5-star reviews from patients who trusted us with their smiles.

Because value is not just about paying less.

It is about choosing a clinic with the experience, systems, technology and patient care to help you get the right result the first time.

Something becomes expensive when the value you receive does not match what you paid.

That is why a cheaper implant often means paying twice, first for the original treatment, then again when it fails, breaks, looks unnatural, causes pain, or needs repairs.

With dental implants, the real question is not simply:

“What is the lowest price?”

The real question is:   

“What am I getting for that price, and will it solve the problem properly?”

Choosing the wrong clinic can cost more later

Jane came to Dental by Design after struggling with failing implants.

She had already been through dental implant treatment before, but instead of feeling secure, confident and at peace, she was left needing a clinic she could truly trust.

This time, Jane was not just looking for another dental implant clinic. She was looking for a team she could trust to understand what had gone wrong, assess her case properly, and guide her through the next stage with care and honesty.


In some cases, failed implant treatment can be more complex and more expensive to put right later. Jane’s story is a reminder that searching for a dental implant clinic should never be rushed, and the decision should never be based on price alone.

Thanks to Dr Yasser and Nurse Adriana’s care, Jane was able to restore more than just her smile.     

She restored her confidence, comfort and peace of mind.

One of the things Jane found most reassuring was knowing that operating our own on-site laboratory allows us to oversee the entire treatment chain, resulting in more predictable outcomes and a higher standard of care. 

Behind every successful smile is not just one person.  

It is a full team.

At Dental by Design, that team includes experienced clinicians, dental nurses, treatment coordinators, technicians, our own lab and Inserta, our own implant brand.

Because more of the process is kept under one roof, we can reduce reliance on external distributors, offer more competitive pricing, improve communication, and maintain greater control throughout the patient journey. 

For Jane, that made all the difference.      

Sometimes the most important thing is knowing you can trust this team to get it right.

Don’t Choose an Implant Clinic Until You Hear Jane’s Story

But Jane is not the only patient who discovered that the right clinic can make all the difference.

For some patients, finding the right value means looking beyond their local options entirely. That was the case for Larry, who travelled from the US to London with his daughter after realising he could receive the treatment he wanted at Dental by Design while saving significantly compared to prices back home.

Meet Larry, the 84-Year-Old Who Flew from the US to London for Dental Implants and says It Was One of the Best Decisions of His Life 

Larry flew from the US to London because he wanted to fix his teeth properly and find real value, not just a lower price.

After comparing the cost of dental implant treatment in America, Larry realised that even with flights, hotel costs and travelling with his family, coming to Dental by Design could still save him around half the price or more, while receiving advanced dental implant treatment in London.

But Larry’s story is not just about cost.  

It is about the feeling of finally making the right decision. 

As Larry said: 

“It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”

And looking back, his only regret was waiting so long: 

“I wish I did this 7 years ago.” 

For Larry, travelling to London was not just dental treatment. It became a chance to restore his smile, spend time in London with his daughter, and receive the value he had been searching for.

Even with the cost of flights, accommodation and travel, Larry still felt he made the right decision.

Because when you finally get your confidence, comfort and quality of life back, it is hard to put a price tag on what you were missing.

The Hidden Cost of Waiting 


Why Doing Nothing Can Become the Most Expensive Decision

You can ignore missing teeth for a while.

You can chew on the other side.
You can avoid hard foods.
You can smile with your mouth closed.
You can tell yourself, “I’ll deal with it later.”

 But here is the problem: 

Your mouth does not wait.    

Every month you delay, the problem can become harder, more expensive and more complex to fix. 

The bone where your tooth used to be starts to shrink. The teeth next to the gap begin to move. Your bite changes. Your gums become harder to keep healthy.

What could be fixed with one implant today might need bone grafts and extra treatments tomorrow.

The longer you wait, the more it costs.

The 6-Year Life Penalty

This is the part most people never hear.

Some dental implant providers use a shocking phrase: “the 6-year life penalty.”

While we would not present that as a guaranteed outcome for any individual patient, the message behind it is important.

Research has linked tooth loss with shortened longevity, reduced chewing ability, poorer nutrition and wider health risks.

We are not saying this will happen to you.

We are saying missing teeth should never be treated as “just cosmetic”, because they can affect how you eat, how you chew, your nutrition, your confidence, your oral health and your overall wellbeing.

We are not saying this will happen to you. 

We are saying missing teeth should never be treated as “just cosmetic”. 

Because missing teeth can affect:

 ❌ What you can eat
❌ How well you chew
❌ Your nutrition
❌ Your confidence
❌ Your social life
❌ Your oral health
❌ Your overall wellbeing

Missing teeth can change how you eat. How you eat can affect your health. And your health can affect your lifespan. 

Dean’s Story: Why Waiting Can Make the Problem Worse

Dean is 52.

Like many patients, he could have waited.

He could have kept chewing carefully.
He could have avoided certain foods.
He could have told himself, “It is not bad enough yet.”
He could have waited until the problem became painful, more visible, or harder to fix.

But Dean made a different decision.

After struggling with his teeth, he came to Dental by Design to explore dental implant treatment with Dr Rob before the problem had the chance to affect his life even more.

Because missing, failing, or painful teeth rarely stay the same forever.

Over time, teeth can become looser.
Bone can shrink.
Infection can develop.
Eating can become harder.
Confidence can slowly disappear.
And the treatment that may be simpler today can become more complex tomorrow.

For Dean, dental implants were not just about getting a new smile.

They were about protecting his comfort, his confidence, and his quality of life before things got worse.

Dean’s story is a reminder that you do not have to wait until you reach breaking point before asking for help.

The earlier you understand your options, the more choices you may have.

The Mouth-Heart Connection 

It gets even more serious when gum disease or infection is involved.

Research has reported that people with periodontal disease had a 34% higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared with people without periodontal disease. 

According to the British Heart Foundation, cardiovascular disease causes over a quarter of all deaths in the UK, around 170,000 deaths each year. That is an average of 460 deaths every day, or one every three minutes in the UK

That does not mean gum disease causes heart disease in every patient.

But it does mean your mouth is not separate from the rest of your body.

So if you have loose teeth, missing teeth, infection, bleeding gums, pain or failing dental work, waiting is not always the “safe” option. Sometimes waiting is the risk. 

Healthy GumsInflamed GumsInflamed GumsInflamed Gums

Mental Health Connections to Tooth Loss

Multiple research studies, including University of Sheffield investigations, examined relationships between missing teeth and severe mental health conditions:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Social Isolation
  • Low Self-Esteem

Results proved startling...

Even one missing tooth -regardless of mouth position -showed undeniable mental health correlations.

Why include this in our full mouth guide?

Simply put: you're not alone in your feelings about your oral condition.

Also: wanting correction is perfectly acceptable. Patients often tell us they "feel selfish" pursuing treatment. This isn't selfish. You face daily challenges that could lead to real mental health difficulties.

When Other Healthcare Professionals Refer Patients to Us 

At Dental by Design, some patients are referred to us by GPs, cardiologists or other healthcare professionals because their oral health needs to be addressed as part of their wider health picture. 

That might be because of infection, gum disease, difficulty eating, failing teeth, or the need to stabilise their mouth before or alongside other medical care. 

This says something important:

Dental problems are not always isolated dental problems.

 Your mouth affects how you eat.
How you eat affects your nutrition.
Your nutrition affects your body.
And your overall health affects your quality of life.

This is not about scaring you into treatment. 

It is about helping you understand that waiting is not always the safest option.

If your teeth are loose, painful, infected, missing or affecting how you eat, the smartest first step is to get properly assessed.

You may need simple treatment.
You may need advanced treatment.
You may not need implants at all.

But you need clarity.

And the earlier you get that clarity, the more options you may have.

Bone Loss Doesn't Wait

Without a tooth root, the jawbone stops receiving stimulation and slowly shrinks.

The less bone you have, the more complex your treatment becomes: 

 ❌ More scans
❌ More planning
❌ Bone grafting
❌ Zygomatic implants
❌ Longer treatment times
❌ Higher costs
❌ Fewer treatment options

This is why doing nothing can feel cheaper today, but become more expensive tomorrow.

This Is Not Here to Scare You

This is not about fear.

It is about clarity. 

 You may not need full mouth dental implants.
You may not need bone grafting.
You may still be suitable for fixed teeth.
You may even be eligible for permanent teeth in 48 hours.

But you will not know by waiting.

You will only know after a proper assessment.

The 20-Year-Old Problem

Why Are Patients Still Waiting Months for Their Final Teeth?

A lot has changed in dentistry.

 Scans are more accurate.
Planning is more digital.
Surgical workflows are more precise.
Dental laboratories are more advanced.
Materials are stronger and more aesthetic than ever before.

So why are so many patients still being told to wait 6, 8, 10 or even 12 months before they get their final teeth?

In many traditional implant workflows, patients receive temporary teeth first. Then they wait through healing, adjustments, appointments and more appointments before the final bridge is made. 

Sometimes that waiting period is clinically necessary. 

But sometimes, the delay is not because the patient needs it.

It is because the system is outdated.

At Dental by Design, our 48-hour permanent teeth process was created to challenge that old timeline for suitable patients.

Not by rushing surgery.

Not by cutting corners.

But by bringing the planning, clinical team and laboratory workflow together in a more efficient way.

Because if your case is suitable, why should you spend months living in a temporary stage when a faster permanent solution may be possible?

Teeth in a Day vs Permanent Teeth in 48 Hours

They sound similar, but they are not always the same.

Many clinics advertise “teeth in a day”. 

In some cases, this means you receive a temporary bridge or temporary denture on the day of surgery, then return months later for your final teeth.

At Dental by Design, suitable patients may be eligible for our 48-hour permanent teeth process, designed to reduce the wait between surgery and final result while supporting better healing and long-term stability.

How Dental by Design Prices Compare

From £6,995

Full mouth treatment

What Is Actually Included in the Price?

A dental implant price is only useful if you know what it includes.

Some clinics advertise a low starting price, but the final cost can change once scans, extractions, temporary teeth, final teeth, sedation, lab work or follow-up appointments are added.

That is why patients should never compare implant prices by headline number alone.

At Dental by Design, your treatment plan will clearly explain what is included before you make a decision.

Depending on your case, your plan may include:

 Clinical consultation
3D scan and assessment
Digital treatment planning
Implant surgery
Extractions, if required
Temporary teeth, if required
Permanent fixed teeth, if suitable
Laboratory work
Post-operative reviews
Maintenance advice
A written treatment plan
Finance options, subject to status

Before choosing any provider, ask one simple question:

“Is this the full cost, or will important parts be added later?”

Because a low price is not really low if the treatment you actually need has not been included.


What Can Change the Final Cost?

Your final quote may depend on:

 How many teeth need replacing
Whether teeth need removing
Bone volume and bone quality
Whether infection is present
Whether bone grafting is needed
Whether one arch or both arches are treated
The material used for your bridge
The complexity of your bite
Sedation requirements
Maintenance and follow-up needs
Whether previous implants need correcting or removing

The only way to know your exact cost is to book a FREE consultation and receive a personalised treatment plan.

How Can 48-Hour Permanent Teeth Be Better Value?  

Faster Does Not Mean Rushed. It Means Smarter.


Most people assume faster treatment must cost more.

But in dental implants, speed is not always about rushing.

Sometimes, speed comes from having a better system.

At Dental by Design, our 48-hour permanent teeth process is designed to reduce the delays, temporary stages, repeated appointments and unnecessary waiting that can make full-mouth implant treatment feel long, stressful and expensive.

Traditional full-mouth treatment can involve months of waiting, temporary teeth, multiple fittings and long periods of uncertainty before the final result is complete.

That time has a cost.

More appointments.
More time off work.
More travel.
More temporary solutions.
More adjustments.
More disruption to daily life.
More months waiting to feel like yourself again.

Balvinder’s story shows what can be possible when the right planning, clinical team and workflow come together.

Balvinder came to Dental by Design to explore dental implant treatment with Dr Yasser. As a smoker, he knew his case needed to be assessed carefully, because smoking can affect healing and implant suitability.

But after a full assessment and careful planning, Balvinder was able to move forward with treatment and receive permanent teeth in just 48 hours.

For him, this was not just about getting teeth quickly.

It was about avoiding months of uncertainty.
Avoiding long-term temporary teeth.
Avoiding repeated visits and delays.
And getting back to eating, smiling and living with confidence sooner.

That is where the real value of a streamlined workflow becomes clear.

By combining digital planning, guided surgery, experienced clinicians and close collaboration with our dental laboratory, suitable patients may be able to receive fixed permanent teeth in as little as 48 hours.

That means the value is not only in the teeth.

It is in what you avoid.

You avoid months of waiting.
You avoid living with long-term temporary teeth.
You avoid unnecessary back-and-forth appointments.
You avoid delaying your confidence, comfort and quality of life.
You avoid paying with your time as well as your money.

Because it is hard to put a price tag on regret.

Especially when that regret comes from choosing the wrong solution, waiting too long, or realising later that the “cheaper” option did not truly solve the problem.

The question is not just:

“How much does it cost?”

The better question is:

“How much time, stress and compromise could this save me?”

Permanent teeth in 48 hours are subject to clinical suitability. Smoking, bone levels, medical history, oral health and healing factors can affect treatment options. Some patients may require additional treatment, healing time or a different treatment plan. 

The Doctor Matters More Than the Deal

How to Choose the Right Implant Dentist 

Before choosing any implant provider, ask these questions:  

  1. How many full-mouth implant cases do you complete each year?
  2. How many implants has the dentist placed?
  3. Do you place implants regularly?
  4. Are you registered with the General Dental Council?
  5. What training do you have in implant dentistry?
  6. Do you use 3D imaging and guided planning?
  7. Do you have real patient cases I can see?
  8. What happens if I am nervous?
  9. What happens if I have bone loss?
  10. What happens if a previous implant is failing?

At Dental by Design, your treatment is carried out by qualified clinicians with extensive experience in implant dentistry. Our website clearly lists the GDC registration details of our doctors, including Dr Sunil Mangla, Dr Yasser El-Ali, Dr Nasim Mechoui, Dr Rob Jung and others.

This level of clinical experience, transparency and accountability is one of the reasons we are able to achieve such a strong success rate. 

It reflects the importance of careful planning, experienced clinicians, advanced technology, appropriate case selection, ongoing care, and working with doctors who understand how to manage complex implant cases safely and predictably. 

One of our patients, Marina, described Dr Rob as her favourite doctor and the best doctor she had ever met. 

That matters because implant dentistry is not only about placing screws.

It is about trust, judgement, planning, communication, aesthetics and knowing how to guide a nervous patient through a life-changing decision.

NHS Coverage for Dental Implants

NHS dental implant coverage remains extremely limited, available only for specific medical conditions. Understanding NHS criteria helps you plan for private treatment costs. For the full breakdown including eligibility quiz and private alternatives, see our NHS and funding guide .

NHS Eligibility Requirements

The NHS funds implant treatment only for:

  • Congenital conditions: Severe hypodontia (missing 6+ teeth from birth)
  • Trauma cases: Facial injury resulting in tooth loss
  • Cancer treatment: Jaw reconstruction following tumor removal
  • Medical contraindications: Inability to wear conventional dentures due to medical conditions

Even when eligible, NHS waiting times typically exceed 12-18 months.

NHS vs Private Treatment Comparison

Bottom line: Unless you meet strict medical criteria, budget for private implant treatment costs.

Financing Your Dental Implants

Other Patients Were Able and You May Be Able Too.

Dental implant treatment is a significant investment, but many patients choose to spread the cost with finance. 

Dental by Design offers finance options, including 0% finance and longer-term payment plans, subject to status and approval. 

You do not always need to pay everything upfront.

During your free consultation, our team can explain the payment options available and help you understand what your monthly payments could look like. 

Finance is not right for everyone, but for many patients it makes treatment possible sooner, before the problem becomes more complex.

Frequently Asked Questions About UK Dental Implant Costs

How much do dental implants cost in the UK in 2026?

Single dental implants in the UK commonly range from around £1,400 to £3,500 or more per tooth, depending on the clinic, location, dentist experience, materials, scans, sedation and any additional procedures needed. At Dental by Design, single implants start from £1,695.

How much do full mouth dental implants cost in the UK?

Full mouth dental implant treatment in the UK can range from around £20,000 to £35,000+ depending on the clinic and complexity. At Dental by Design, full mouth treatment starts from £10,995 for suitable patients.

Does the NHS cover dental implant treatment?

NHS dental implant coverage is extremely limited, available only for specific medical conditions like congenital tooth absence, trauma, or cancer treatment. Less than 1% of patients qualify. Most people need private treatment, but 0% finance options make it accessible. See our full NHS funding guide.

What financing options are available for dental implants?

We offer 0% APR financing for 6-12 months, with longer terms available at competitive rates. For example, our £1,695 single implant (Vivo Crown®) could be paid over 12 months at £141 per month with 0% interest. Extended payment plans of up to 60 months are available for larger treatments. See our full monthly payment guide with real examples.

Are dental implants worth the investment?

Yes, dental implants typically provide excellent long-term value. The average UK adult spends £35,000 on dental care over their lifetime. Implants can eliminate decades of ongoing dental costs while providing health benefits including reduced cardiovascular disease risk and improved nutrition.

How do I choose between single implants and All-on-4?

Single implants are best for replacing 1-2 teeth with healthy surrounding teeth. All-on-4 is ideal for multiple missing teeth or full arch replacement, offering savings of £3,500-£6,000 compared to individual implants. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your specific situation.

What hidden costs should I expect with dental implants?

Additional costs may include: initial consultation (£150-£300), advanced imaging (£200-£500), sedation (£350/hour), bone grafting if needed (£800-£2,000), and temporary teeth during healing (£200-£500). Always ask for a complete breakdown including all potential additional procedures.

Why are some dental implant prices so much cheaper?

Some prices may not include everything needed for treatment, such as scans, extractions, sedation, temporary teeth, final teeth, follow-up appointments or maintenance. Always ask for a written treatment plan showing exactly what is included.

Are permanent teeth in 48 hours suitable for everyone?

No. Permanent teeth in 48 hours are only suitable for certain patients. Suitability depends on your oral health, bone volume, bite, medical history, infection, smoking status and other clinical factors.

What is the difference between dentures and full mouth dental implants?

Dentures are removable. Full mouth dental implants are fixed to implants in the jaw and are designed to feel more stable during eating, speaking and smiling.

Can dental implants help if my previous implants are failing?

In some cases, yes. Failing implants need careful assessment. Dental by Design can assess your current implants, bone levels, infection, bite and restoration to determine whether they can be repaired, replaced or redesigned.

Is a free consultation really free?

Dental by Design offers a free consultation, with a £25 booking deposit collected to reduce missed appointments and refunded on arrival.

What if I have bone loss or a more complex case?

If you have significant bone loss, you may need additional procedures such as bone grafting or zygomatic implants.These treatments can add extra planning, materials, time and cost. However, bone loss does not always mean you cannot have dental implants. A 3D scan and consultation will confirm the safest option for you.

A TRULY life changing experience. When a tooth cracked just before Christmas, it was the final straw for me. I decided to look into full arch dental work, and after some detailed research, I chose Dental By Design. From the very first appointment, to post surgery check-ups, the service has been nothing but first class. Dr Yasser is a genius, a dental Michelangelo. Along with his assistant Adriana, he made me comfortable, he answered every question patiently, and built out a plan for a double arch surgery. On the day of the operation, I was in no pain, I was looked after at every step of the journey by Dr Yasser and Adriana, and he took incredibly care and detail to ensure that my arches were fitted perfectly. He make a long and complex operation feel simple and pain free, and the end result was worth every penny. Post operation, I felt no pain, recovery has been simple, and I am now sitting here with a beautiful smile, and with the confidence to smile again. It really DOES change the way you eat, talk, and smile again. Supporting Dr Yasser and Adriana are a wonderful, friendly, and super helpful front desk team, who could not do enough to help me ( and even made sure I got home safe after the operation! ). I cannot thank Dr Yasser and the team at Dental by Design enough. If you are thinking of having this done, do it, you won't regret it!!

This place and the people there have genuinely changed my life! Got multiple implants here after years and years of not having been to a dentist due to severe anxiety and PTSD. As a result my oral health had really suffered, I had to have some teeth removed last year and had lost all confidence. From my first appointment with Dr. Yasser he made me feel safe and supported. There was never an ounce of judgement and just kindness, understanding and great communication. He definitely knows what he is doing, discusses personalised treatment options with you and just makes you feel like you're in the best hands. Can't could always sense whether I needed distraction in which case he was great at making me laugh or just some kind, calm words. Ms Adriana, the lovely nurse who was always there during our appointment was also always such a calm and kind presence in the room. She let me hold her hand when I needed it and also did such a great job! As well as the kind reception who always welcomed me with a smile and made me feel as calm as possible. Thank you to the entire team for making me feel safe and for giving me a new, great smile that I can show off confidently!

First class experience, don’t bother going anywhere else, i contacted other countries companies before I found Dr Yasser and Mr Ledio, no comparison, first class from minute 1. Found it brilliant that you get time with the Dr Yasser at the very start, I asked him lots of questions and got lots of reassurance from the start, can’t praise them high enough, had my procedure, went great. Very happy customer, big thumbs up 👍

I had an excellent experience at this dental clinic today. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcome. Unfortunately, I was running late and had to call ahead, but the team were so understanding and reassuring. When I arrived, I was offered water and coffee, which immediately made me feel comfortable and valued as a patient. The entire team was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive. I came in for a consultation regarding a single dental implant, and the dentist was outstanding. He explained everything in great detail, taking the time to go through all the options, the procedure itself, and what to expect throughout the process. I never felt rushed and was encouraged to ask questions. What really stood out was how approachable and personable he was. Not only was he highly knowledgeable and professional, but he also had a great sense of humour, which helped put me completely at ease. We even had a good laugh, making what could have been a stressful appointment feel relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The level of care, professionalism, and friendliness was exceptional. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for dental treatment, especially if you’re considering an implant. Thank you to the whole team for making me feel so welcome.

I cannot recommend Dr. Yasser and his dental nurse, Adriana, highly enough. I recently underwent a full mouth dental restoration with implant-supported bridges, a procedure that lasted approximately six hours from start to finish. Despite the length of the treatment, which had a break at the halfway point, the entire experience was completely painless and far more comfortable than I ever imagined. From the very beginning, Dr. Yasser demonstrated exceptional skill, professionalism, and attention to detail. He took the time to explain every stage of the procedure, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind throughout the day. Adriana was equally outstanding, providing constant support, reassurance, and care that made the whole experience feel relaxed and stress-free. The results have been nothing short of life-changing. Seeing my new teeth and smile for the first time was an incredibly emotional moment. The transformation has given me a level of confidence I haven’t felt in years, and I genuinely wish I had gone ahead with the treatment much sooner. If you are considering a full mouth restoration using implant-supported bridges, I can honestly say that placing my trust in Dr. Yasser and Adriana was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Their expertise, kindness, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome have completely transformed my smile and my quality of life. Thank you both for such an incredible experience and an amazing result. Also a big thank you to Dr. Yasser for picking the incredible Pink Floyd soundtrack to listen to as the procedure unfolded. I’m no longer just another brick in the wall.

The whole experience was even better than I expected. As someone who has always been afraid of visiting the dentist, Dr. Rob Jung immediately made me feel at ease. The professional care and attention I received from him and his entire team were truly exceptional. The smile that Dr. Rob gave me has genuinely changed my life, and I cannot thank him enough for his skill, kindness, and dedication. I am so grateful for the outstanding treatment and support I received throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Rob Jung and his team to anyone looking for excellent dental care.
