The United Kingdom is known for high dental treatment costs, especially for procedures not covered by the National Health Service (NHS). While NHS services may offer limited support for dental care, dental implants are usually provided through private clinics.

Typical implant costs in the UK include:

Single dental implant: £2,000 – £3,500
Implant with crown: £3,000 – £4,500
All-on-4 implants: £14,000 – £22,000 per arch
Full mouth dental implants: £30,000 – £45,000

These prices often lead many patients to explore treatment options abroad.

This is the story of Mang Leo, a 58-year-old jeepney driver from Laguna.

• Dentures: ₱5,000-₱20,000 - Needs replacement every 5-10 years
