Dental implants in Southsea and Old Portsmouth can transform your smile—but prices add up fast. The right mix of dental insurance, PMI add-ons and dental plans can trim bills while keeping premium care local.
Typical local pathways
- Consultation & CBCT scan (often private).
- Implant placement (staged).
- Healing + abutment & crown.
Cover options to consider
- Dedicated dental insurance: Look for major treatment bands including implants, with annual limits (£1,500–£3,000 typical).
- PMI dental add-on: Helps with check-ups/hygiene; some higher tiers contribute to major work.
- Dental plans (capitation/cashback): Spread costs; cash plans repay a % of treatment.
Ways Southsea & Old Portsmouth patients save
- Pre-auth & staged claims: Split treatment across policy years to maximise annual limits.

Key policy checks

Who benefits most?
