for 1 implant my dentist is over £2000 per tooth
Here are some links from my "journey" - any questions, feel free to ask:

The day the implants were inserted into my jawbone: https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1539665.html

costs of implants vary widely, so shop around (very approx range £1500-2500 but could be even more or less). Bone grafts if your jawbone isn't up to it may be extra. But the procedure isn't particularly painful, maybe 3 or 4 injections to numb you while it's done, and a bit sore or swollen for a day or two (the dentist may give you antibiotics). Then as woofgang says, a few months to let it heal, then they screw a crown in (though I believe some cement them on). The implant is metal, the crown is whatever crowns are made of (there are different materials).
no they dont hurt

yes they cost an arm and aa leg and I have only met satisfied clients - no I am not a dentist

yes I have porcelain teeth but I dont thinnk they count as implants
They certainly do hurt - in the wallet. My mate had his done for the measly sum of £8,000.
I've been told it's cheaper to have a few appointments in Eastern Europe than to have it done here in the UK.
Clarion, yes, the guy at the chip shop is going to get all his done in Istanbul - half a dozen or so for less than £1000. But you do need more than one trip, usually one follow-up at the very least. Okay for him, he's Turkish, but for a tourist factoring in the cost of flights and hotels adds a lot to the price.
I bet it could be done for a lot less than £8K, though.
I haven't read all of the thread... but I took a client to get a front tooth implant last weekend. She had sedation and knew absolutely nothing about it. Since the weekend, she has taken two paracetamol- and that's it.
Only one experience... but it may help x
She paid £1200
A "client"?!!! What you up to Pixie?!! ;o)
Lol... I have a homecare business... (other clients are a different price list:-)) xx
Good gracious me. I’d rather have gaps than pay such sums. My mother only had a top set of false teeth from the age of 18, and she managed very well. Except for chewing nuts. Vanity wise she looked lovely.
I wouldn't mind having a client who could shell out 1200 spondoolicks on the spot! Got to keep on the right side of her, Pixie!
We are, clarion... we always do :-) xx
/// My mother only had a top set of false teeth from the age of 18, ///

I had my first denture (top set ) at the age of 13. Didn't lose any more teeth until in my fifties so by the time it became necessary for a few more to be fitted I was well used to a denture so it didn't bother me. I've yet to need a bottom plate.
