Dental implants in Winchester start from £25.20 per month at Solutions Dental Clinic, and they’re placed by Dr Sami Shubber, a Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon. The process replaces a missing tooth root with a small titanium post, topped with a natural-looking crown. As of June 2026, that’s the real starting figure, and the rest of this guide explains what your money actually buys.
Because with implants, who does the surgery matters just as much as what you pay.
An implant is a small titanium post placed into your jawbone where a tooth root used to be. Once it has fused with the bone, it acts as a sturdy foundation for a crown, a bridge, or even a full set of teeth.
The clever part is that it replaces the root, not just the visible tooth. That’s why an implant feels and behaves so much like a natural tooth: it’s anchored in bone, so it won’t slip, click, or come loose the way a denture can. You eat what you like and brush it like the rest of your teeth.
One post, one crown, and a gap that finally feels solved.
This is the part too many price comparisons skip. Implant surgery is still surgery, and the experience of the person doing it shapes your result.
At Solutions Dental Clinic, your implants are placed by Dr Sami Shubber, who is a Registered Specialist in Oral Surgery on the GDC’s specialist list. He also holds an MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry from King’s College London, so he’s thinking about how the finished tooth looks, not only how the implant sits.
What does that mean for you? Tricky cases, including ones involving bone loss, are handled by someone whose registered field is surgery rather than a general dentist working at the edge of their training. If you’ve been turned away elsewhere, it’s worth a second opinion here.
People often imagine implants as one long ordeal. In reality it’s a series of short, well-spaced steps:
The CBCT scan is what makes the surgery precise. Dr Sami Shubber plans the exact position before he ever picks up an instrument, which reduces surprises and protects the structures around the site.
Most single-implant placements are quicker and gentler than patients expect.
Implants aren’t the only way to fill a gap, so here’s an honest comparison.
| Option | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant | One missing tooth, healthy neighbours | Higher upfront cost, surgery involved |
| Bridge | A gap where neighbouring teeth are already crowned | Involves shaping nearby teeth |
| Denture | Several missing teeth, lower budget | Can move; less like a natural tooth |
A bridge uses the teeth either side as anchors, which means cutting into otherwise healthy teeth. An implant leaves your neighbouring teeth untouched. For multiple gaps, ask about Same Day Teeth for multiple missing teeth or implant-retained dentures, which combine implants with a removable plate.
Implants at Solutions start from £25.20 per month, based on an 18-month payment plan with a 20% deposit. The total depends on how many implants you need and what goes on top, whether that’s a single crown, a bridge, or a full arch.
You’ll get a clear written breakdown at your consultation, so you know the full picture before committing. Spreading the cost monthly is what keeps treatment realistic for most people rather than a one-off shock.
A well-placed, well-cared-for implant can last decades, and many last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing eventually through normal wear, but the implant itself is built to stay.
The biggest factor in longevity is you: good cleaning, no smoking, and regular reviews with the hygienist. Look after an implant and it’ll quietly do its job for years without fuss.
Honest answer: the procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain while it happens, and sedation is there if you’re nervous. Afterwards, expect some tenderness and perhaps mild swelling for a few days, easily managed with ordinary pain relief.
Most patients are back to normal routines quickly and are surprised it was far less dramatic than they feared. Dr Sami Shubber gives you clear aftercare so you know exactly what’s normal and what to watch for.
How much do dental implants cost in the UK?
UK implant prices vary a lot by location, the number of implants and what’s fitted on top. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, implants start from £25.20 per month on an 18-month plan with a 20% deposit. Your exact cost is confirmed at a consultation with a clear written breakdown, once Dr Sami Shubber has assessed your case.
Are dental implants worth it?
For many people, yes. Implants replace the tooth root, so they feel stable and let you eat normally, unlike a denture that can move. They also protect neighbouring teeth, which a bridge does not. At Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester, they’re placed by Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon Dr Sami Shubber, which adds real reassurance for the investment.
How long do dental implants last?
A well-placed implant cared for properly can last decades, and often a lifetime. The crown attached to it may need replacing over the years through normal wear. Good cleaning, not smoking, and regular hygienist visits make the biggest difference. Dr Sami Shubber will show you exactly how to care for your implant at Solutions Dental Clinic.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
The placement is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during it, and sedation is available if you’re anxious. Afterwards, mild tenderness or swelling for a few days is normal and manageable with standard pain relief. Most patients at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester find recovery far easier than they expected.
Should I get a single implant or a bridge?
It depends on your teeth. An implant leaves neighbouring teeth untouched, while a bridge needs them shaped to act as anchors. If the teeth either side are healthy, an implant often protects your mouth better long term. Dr Sami Shubber will talk you through both at your Winchester consultation, with no pressure either way.
If you’re weighing up implants, a single consultation with a Registered Specialist Oral Surgeon will tell you what’s possible and what it costs. Book at Solutions Dental Clinic in Winchester.

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for all your great work, I really never thought I could have a smile like the one you have given me, unless of course I spent a lot more money than I have.
Having reached the end of my major implant treatment I must compliment you both, and your staff, on the excellent standards of patient care that you have provided.
Thank you for my new dentures, made and fitted with a minimum of appointments,
excellent service and attention, highly recommended, money and time well spent.
Firstly thank you so very much for my new dentures which will completely transform my life going forward. Having completely given up on dentist after many a bad experience it came to the point where I needed to find a solution as my teeth became loose and we're falling out, this coupled with being very very nervous led me on my search.
