Implants planned in 3D. Placed with pinpoint accuracy.
At Oak Tree Dental & Implant Clinic we use both guided and freehand surgery to place implants.
When using guided surgery, the entire process is mapped digitally before we touch a drill, so we know exactly where it goes before you're even in the chair. From one tooth to a full smile, guided surgery means we can usually use fixed provisional restorations, avoiding the need for dentures during healing periods.
Your scan becomes the blueprint. We plan your implant position digitally first: angle, depth, spacing, and then have a bespoke surgical guide made to match. On the day, that guide allows us to place the implant exactly where the plan says it should go.
From informal chat to your new smile
Guided single implants & bridges
Replace one tooth or a short gap with a guided implant crown or bridge - fixed, natural-looking, and built to last.
Every implant case starts with a consultation (£59), and then if you decide implants are the right choice for you, the next step is the treatment planning appointment (£141), where we confirm your fee in writing before anything else happens.
Currently the 3D scans are taken at a nearby practice (in Cumbernauld) and carry a fee payable to that practice of £150-200 depending on what is required.
Our guided placement surgical fees are all inclusive as detailed below.
Treatment | Guided fee |
Single implant crown | £3,500 |
3-tooth bridge on two implants | £7,000 |
Our fixed fee includes:
Removal of any teeth required under local anaesthetic. Placement of dental implants using bespoke surgical guides, with bone regeneration materials as required. Provision of a same day provisional fixed crown or bridge to wear during implant healing. Review appointments as required. Construction of final implant crown or bridge after 3-6 months healing.
Full arch options - and the materials that make the difference
The right number of implants depends on your bone and bite - more implants can mean more support, and more short and long-term predictability. The research shows that 4 is the minimum number required to support a full arch bridge.
Full arch fees:
| Hybrid | Zirconia |
All-on-4 · single jaw | £14,995 | £15,995 |
All-on-4 · both jaws | £26,995 | £28,995 |
All-on-5 · single jaw | £15,995 | £17,995 |
All-on-5 · both jaws | £28,995 | £30,995 |
All-on-6 · single jaw | £16,995 | £18,995 |
All-on-6 · both jaws | £30,995 | £32,995 |
A titanium framework with a full arch of tooth-coloured acrylic material fixed on top. Lighter, and if a tooth ever chips, it's straightforward to repair.
A single block of solid zirconia, milled and finished by hand. More resistant to staining and wear, and the closest a fixed arch gets to the strength and translucency of natural enamel - a premium, long-term choice.
Both are designed and finished by Vivo Lab in London, so every arch is built to the same exacting standard whichever material you choose.
Planned by a specialist. Built by a trusted lab.
Guided surgery
Is guided surgery painful?
Most patients find guided implant surgery more comfortable than they expect. The minimally invasive approach can mean less swelling and a faster recovery than traditional freehand surgery.
Guided surgery
How long does the whole process take?
Guided surgery typically starts around 4-6 weeks after your scan and plan, with your final teeth fitted 3-6 months later once the implant has integrated with your jaw.
Guided surgery
Will I be without teeth at any point?
No. Guided cases are usually fitted with a fixed temporary crown, bridge, or full arch to wear while your implants heal.
Guided surgery
What's the difference between hybrid and zirconia full arches?
Hybrid arches use a titanium frame with tooth-coloured acrylic material on top - lighter and easy to repair. Zirconia arches are milled from a single block of solid zirconia - more stain-resistant and closer to natural tooth strength. Both are made by Vivo Lab.
Guided surgery
How much do dental implants cost?
A single guided implant crown starts at £3,500. Full arch treatment starts at £14,995 for a single jaw. Every price is confirmed in writing after your consultation and scan.
Guided surgery
Is guided surgery available for every case?
Guided surgery suits the vast majority of implant cases, though straightforward single-tooth and three tooth bridge replacements can also be treated freehand. We'll recommend the right approach for your anatomy at consultation and make sure you know all the options.
