Can I use my pension?
Yes. The HMRC Compassionate Release program allows super withdrawals for medically necessary dental treatment. Our team can guide you through documentation. Processing takes 14-21 business days.
What happens after I return home?
Your British dentist receives your full clinical file within 24 hours. Your case manager calls at Day 7, Day 30, and Month 3. Any concern: WhatsApp your coordinator acknowledged within 4 hours, 24/7.
Do you use the same implant systems as United Kingdom?

Is the procedure painful?
No. Patients are sedated throughout implant surgery. Most patients report zero pain during the procedure and mild discomfort for 2-3 days after, manageable with standard painkillers. Many of our patients say they didn't even need painkillers.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Free virtual consultations are usually scheduled within 48 hours. Once you decide to proceed, treatment dates can be confirmed within 2-3 weeks, depending on availability and your travel preferences.
