A scan and a written plan before any implant
Every new patient starts with an assessment: a 3D scan, a check of gums and bone, and a straight answer on whether implants suit you at all. You take home a written plan with its full cost, and nothing is booked until you have had time to think.

Not everyoneis suitable, and we tell you why
Why the scan comes before any talk of price
An implant sits in the jaw, so the first question is how much bone there is and where the nerves and sinuses run. A 3D scan answers that, alongside a full check of your gums, your remaining teeth, your bite and your medical history.
Some people hear on the day that implants are a sound option. Others need gum treatment first, and a few are better served by a bridge or a denture. Either way, you hear it from the dentist who would carry out the work.
- Scan read by the treating dentist
- Gums and bite checked at the same visit
- Written plan sent within five working days
- Assessment fee taken off treatment if you go ahead
Not everyone is suitable, and the reasons are worth knowing
These are the questions the assessment works through. None of them is settled online: a yes or a no comes only after the scan and an examination in the chair.
| What we look at | Why it matters | What may happen next |
|---|---|---|
| Bone height and width | An implant needs enough bone around it to settle and stay firm | A bone graft may be discussed, or a different way to replace the tooth |
| Gum health | Untreated gum disease can spread to the bone around an implant | Gum treatment with our hygienist comes first, then a second look |
| Smoking and vaping | Healing is slower and the risk of problems is higher | We talk about stopping, and some plans wait until you have |
| Medical history and medicines | Some conditions and medicines change how the jaw heals | We may ask your doctor for details before any planning |
| Grinding or clenching | Heavy forces at night can crack crowns and strain implants | A night guard may become part of the plan |
| A jaw still growing | Implants are placed only once the jaw has stopped growing | Younger patients are offered a temporary option until then |
Rules on who may place implants, and the training they need, differ from country to country. Each dentist here holds the registration the local rules require, and you can ask to see it at any visit.
Three ways to replace teeth, each priced after the scan
These are starting prices in US dollars, shown as an example. Your own plan lists every stage and its cost in writing, including any graft, before you decide anything.
Implant bridge
for three teeth, from$5,800
- Two implants carrying three teeth
- Fewer implants than teeth replaced
- Bridge made in a dental laboratory
Full arch
per jaw, from$14,500
- Four to six implants holding a fixed arch
- Fixed teeth in place of a loose denture
- Hygiene visits written into the plan
A $150 assessment with the 3D scan comes before every plan, and the fee comes off treatment if you go ahead within six months. Payment is agreed with the studio directly.
From the first scan to the last review (example reviews)
Assessment and scan
A 60 minute visit with the dentist: your history, an examination, the 3D scan and a first talk about options.
Written plan
The stages, the risks and the full cost arrive in writing within five working days, for you to read at home.
Fourteen days to decide
Nothing is booked in that time unless you ask. Questions by phone or email are welcome.
Placement
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic, with sedation discussed beforehand where it is offered.
Healing
The bone settles around the implant over roughly two to four months, with a temporary tooth where one is needed.
Crown and reviews (example reviews)
The final tooth is fitted, then checked at one, six and twelve months.
From patients who used the fourteen days (example reviews)
The dentist showed us the scan on screen and explained why the bone on one side was too thin for now. Gum treatment came first, and the plan was rewritten three months later.
Having two weeks to read the plan at home mattered more than anything. Every stage had a price beside it, and the final bill matched it line for line.
After years with a loose denture it was good to hear the truth: two visits to check the bone, then a plan for a fixed arch with every review already written in.

We do not publish before and after photos. These show the rooms and the work that go into a plan.
Book an assessment and scan
Tell us what you would like to replace and when you can come in. The assessment takes about an hour, costs $150 and includes the 3D scan.
The team answers within one working day. Either the slot is held for you, it moves to a time that works, or we name a clinic better placed to help.
- No treatment on the day of the assessment
- Bring the names of any medicines you take
- Bring any recent dental X rays you have
Looking after an implant for years
An implant cannot decay, but the gum and bone around it can become inflamed, so care after placement is part of every plan.
Hygiene visits
Cleaning around implants with instruments that will not scratch them, every three to six months.
Hygiene visit$95
Night guards
A guard made to your bite protects crowns and implants from grinding while you sleep.
Night guardfrom $260
Something feels wrong
A loose crown, a sore gum or a bad taste around an implant: call, and we see you within two working days.
Review visit$60
Patients whose implants were placed elsewhere are welcome for reviews, and we say plainly when a repair is beyond what we can do.
Questions people ask before the scan
Will implants suit me?
Nobody can say before the assessment. The scan shows the bone, the examination shows the gums, and your history tells the rest. Some people are suitable straight away, some after gum treatment or a graft, and some are better off with a bridge or a denture.
Does placing an implant hurt?
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb while we work. Soreness for a few days afterwards is common, and the dentist goes through it with you beforehand, along with sedation where it is offered.
How long will an implant last?
We do not promise a number of years. How long an implant stays healthy depends on bone, gums, cleaning, smoking and grinding, which is why reviews and hygiene visits are written into every plan.
Why is the assessment charged?
It includes an hour with the dentist and a 3D scan read by the person who would treat you. The $150 comes off treatment if you go ahead within six months.
Can you show before and after photos?
We do not publish them. Every mouth is different, and someone else's photo says little about yours. At the assessment the dentist can show you models and explain what your own plan sets out to do.
What if the plan is not for me?
Then nothing more is owed beyond the assessment. The written plan is yours to keep, and you are welcome to take it to another dentist for a second opinion.
