At 7oaks Clinic, we aim to provide an affordable dental implant treatment because we understand that dental implants are considered an investment by our patients. In our previous article, Dentures vs. Dental Implants: Factors To Consider, we discussed how the cost of dental implants can cause people to choose less effective, alternative treatments for replacing their missing teeth. And we explained that dental implants are the best option for restoring your dental health as a lifelong treatment, despite their cost. In our efforts to support people choosing this treatment as the best solution, we have taken steps and continue to make improvements to our service to deliver a more affordable dental implant treatment.
On a global scale, improvements in technology and the materials sourced to produce dental implants have benefitted implant practices and patients alike. In 2015, according to a survey by Dentistry Magazine, the average cost of a single tooth implant was £3,737 among implant practices in South East England and London. Whereas now, most implant practices in this region offer single implant treatments around £2000. For our patients in Kent, Sussex and Surrey, this means that accessing the best treatment for replacing missing teeth is already easier, even before we offer our cheaper single tooth implant at £1595.
Our efforts to deliver an affordable implant service begin with our free consultation - a service that is often charged in neighbouring implant practices. For our practitioners and patients, the consultation allows the patients’ expectations to be fully considered to inform the recommendations and possible treatments provided by our Clinic Director, Dr Gary Moynes, who leads our consultations. By removing a paywall to our consultation service, patients have the freedom to choose our dental implant treatment or consider other options without any additional pressure. And we especially prioritise creating this non-pressured experience for patients.
Recently, we put in place finance options that allows patients to spread their treatment cost. With the help of a credit provider, we have taken another step towards providing a more affordable dental implant treatment. We are proud of the flexibility this option offers patients. If you are interested in this finance option, you can freely express your interest with any of our staff at our implant practice in Sevenoaks, who will then facilitate this option on your behalf.
At 7oaks Clinic, our staff hold decades of experience working across implantology and consequently are able to source the best implant materials for our implant treatments, while considering both quality and cost. From over 500 manufacturers of dental implants worldwide, we choose to use the Adin implant system which delivers on aesthetics, provides good bone stability and all-round versatility. Adin are also known innovators in the dental industry, with a global, reputable brand. And at our clinic, we are confident and happy to use this implant system for all of our dental implant treatments.
Lastly, our ethos is centered around putting people at ease and building their confidence. From our free consultation to the new finance monthly payment option, this means ensuring that, despite the cost of dental implants, they are as affordable as possible for our patients in Kent, Sussex and Surrey.
