It is hard for us to imagine a better way to replace missing teeth than implants. They are durable, inert to human tissue and their crowns often mimic human bone flawlessly! Tooth implants in the UK are hugely popular, although they are not the cheapest solution.

What types are they and how much do they cost? You will find the answers to these questions below.

Types of implants

At the outset, we would like to point out that an implant is a screw which will be located in the place of the root of a tooth. What is visible to our eye is the crown of the implant - i.e. an artificial tooth made of a suitable material.

The good news is that on a single implant mount More than one crown is possible. This is a great convenience and saves money when there are quite a few missing teeth.

However, let's move on to the types. Dental implants in the UK are made from titanium or zirconium, while implant crowns are made from metal, porcelain or acrylic. Ceramic crowns are also very popular.

Zirconia implants are more readily chosen than titanium implants because zirconia is ivory in colour. If exposed, this implant will not be conspicuous, unlike the titanium one.

When it comes to dental crowns, here the patient favourites are definitely the porcelain and ceramic ones. The reason is the same - these solutions look much more natural.

Acrylic implants, are regarded as a temporary solution. The reason? They are not very durable. They also have another disadvantage - they take in colours from food very quickly. We wrote more about this in our other article: "Implants UK - everything you need to know„.

Dental crowns made of metal are durable, but do not look very aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes they are veneered with acrylic so that the front of the 'tooth' has a natural colour, but the difference is visible when laughing or speaking.
