Dental Work in IndiaWhat UK Patients Get
Dental work in India for UK patients centres on structural treatment: implants, All-on-4, All-on-6, full-mouth rehabilitation, veneers and aligners. At Stunning Dentistry in New Delhi, a single implant is from £150 per implant and an All-on-4 arch is from £1,650 per arch, against a UK range of £3,500-£5,000 and £18,000-£25,000 per arch. Before you book, settle which clinic answers for the work after you fly home: here it is a named lead clinician, a Lifetime Warranty and a 10-year open file.
What Treatments UK Patients Travel For
Travel makes sense for structural work: implants, fixed arches, bone-loss cases, veneers and aligners. A filling is not worth a flight.
- Dental implants. Single-tooth replacement through to full arch.
- All-on-4 and All-on-6. A fixed arch on four or six implants, for patients who have lost most or all of the teeth in a jaw.
- Full-mouth rehabilitation. Both arches rebuilt, combining implants, crowns, and bite correction into one planned sequence.
- Zygomatic and pterygoid implants. For severe bone loss, where a conventional implant has no bone to anchor into and the alternative at home is grafting followed by a long wait.
- Veneers and smile design. E-max and Ivoclar Vivadent ceramics, planned digitally before anything is prepared.
- Invisalign and clear aligners. Clear aligner therapy.

What It Costs
Prices are lower because rent, staff wages, laboratory fees and regulatory costs in New Delhi are set by the Indian economy. Compare against a written UK quote for the same treatment, not an advertised starting price.
Single-implant, All-on-4 and All-on-6 prices start with Preferred-tier implants (Osstem, Dentium, Zimmer or an equivalent brand). Straumann and Nobel Biocare are available at the Premium tier, priced in your written quote. CBCT and the surgical guide are included in an All-on-4 or All-on-6 quote. IV sedation is quoted separately if you choose it.
You fund treatment yourself. Implants are usually only available privately in the UK, and the NHS offers them only in narrow clinical-need cases.
Use the treatment cost estimator to price your own case, or the savings calculator to see the difference net of travel.

What to Check Before You Book
Clinical results depend on the clinic, not the country. Ask any clinic about four things before you book.
- Implant brand. Ask for it in writing. Your Stunning Dentistry quote names the implant system.
- Team. Ask who plans the case and who signs it. A full-mouth case crosses oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics and bite correction. At Stunning Dentistry each part goes to the specialist trained for it, under Dr. Priyank Sethi, BDS, MDS, PhD.
- Laboratory. Ask where your teeth are made.
- Preview. Ask to see a modelled preview of the planned result before treatment. A preview is a plan, not a guarantee of the final result. You can preview your own case before you speak to anyone.

How the Trip Works
1. Send your records. Existing X-rays, a CBCT scan if you have one, and photographs. A written treatment plan and quotation come back before you commit to anything. There is no charge for this stage.
2. Video consultation. You speak to the clinician who will run your case, in English, and ask what you need to ask. The plan is revised until it is the plan you agreed to.
3. First trip, 3 to 4 days. A CBCT scan and examination on arrival confirm the plan against your mouth. Any change is discussed and re-quoted before work starts.
4. Surgery. Implants are placed, with placement torque and stability readings recorded before anything is loaded. Fixed zirconia teeth follow within 72 hours where your bone allows it.
5. Healing at home. Your implants bond to the bone over 4 to 6 months, with reviews by video. The treatment timeline tool maps this against your own case.
7. Follow-up from the UK. Reviews by video, and we brief the dentist you choose in the UK for anything done in person.

What Protects You After You Fly Home
The fair question about treatment abroad is who is responsible for it once you are home.
- A Lifetime Warranty on implants, components and crowns. The warranty document sets out what is covered.
- A named lead clinician signs your case. You are not passed between anonymous providers.
- A 10-year open file with milestone reviews, so your case is followed over time rather than closed at handover.
- Remote follow-up by video. We brief the dentist you choose in the UK and send your full surgical record.
More on how this works in practice: what happens if something goes wrong and how remote follow-up works.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I judge dental work in India?
Judge the clinic, not the country. Check the implant brand in writing, the credentials the clinic can show (Stunning Dentistry holds AAID, AAE, BACD, FDI and ISO 9001:2015), a written warranty, and what happens after you fly home. Ask any clinic for the same in writing.
How much does dental work in India cost compared to the UK?
A single implant costs from £150 per implant at Stunning Dentistry, against £3,500-£5,000 at a UK private clinic. A fixed arch (All-on-4) costs from £1,650 per arch, against £18,000-£25,000. Flights and hotel are extra; the savings calculator shows your difference net of travel.
How long do I need to stay in India?
For a full arch, your trip is 3 to 4 days: scan, surgery and fixed zirconia teeth within 72 hours, with nothing to come back for. After your trip, we review your progress by video with you or your UK dentist. Your written plan states the days before you book.
Will my treatment be in English?
Yes. Consultation, treatment planning, consent and follow-up are all in English, so you can ask about your own mouth and understand the answer.
What happens if something goes wrong after I return to the UK?
Your implants are covered by our Lifetime Warranty, and the warranty document sets out what is covered. Your file stays open for 10 years with milestone reviews, follow-up runs by video, and we brief the dentist you choose in the UK and send your full surgical record.
Do I need a visa for dental treatment in India?
Apply online on the official Indian e-Visa portal, indianvisaonline.gov.in. Our clinic provides the supporting documentation your application requires.
