Dental Finance Options by Dr Nikhil Oberai
The cost of implant treatment should not be the reason you put off getting the smile you want. Through Tabeo, you can spread the cost over 12 months at 0% interest, with nothing added and no compromise on the quality of your treatment.
The cost of dental implants should not stand between you and a permanent solution.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are also a meaningful financial investment. I want to be honest about both of those things.
What I also want to be honest about is this: through 0% finance with Tabeo, the monthly cost of implant treatment is often far closer to what patients expect than the headline total figure suggests. A single tooth implant starting from £2,450 becomes approximately £204 per month over 12 months at 0% interest. A full arch reconstruction starting from £14,500 becomes approximately £1,292 per month.
The treatment is identical. The outcome is identical. The only difference is how and when you pay for it.
- Understanding 0% finance
Here is exactly how the Tabeo finance option works
What 0% interest actually means
It means the total cost of your treatment does not increase because you spread it. You pay the same amount whether you pay upfront in full or across 12 monthly instalments. There is no added interest, no arrangement fee, and no premium for choosing to finance your treatment.
How the monthly payment is calculated
Your monthly payment is your confirmed treatment cost divided by 12. That is the complete calculation. If your treatment plan comes to £2,450, your monthly payment over 12 months is £212.50. If it comes to £5,000, your monthly payment is £416.67. No more, no less.
What happens beyond 12 months
Where a longer repayment period is needed or preferred, Tabeo offer finance terms beyond 12 months. An APR applies to these extended terms. The exact APR, the total repayable amount, and the monthly payment for any term beyond 12 months are all discussed and shown to you in writing at your consultation, before you commit to anything.
How the application works
Finance is applied for through Tabeo at your consultation or in the days that follow. The application is straightforward and a decision is typically provided quickly. My team will walk you through the process at your free 3D Smile Assessment.
What finance is available on
0% finance through Tabeo is available on all implant treatments at both my Northwich and Wilmslow practices. This includes single tooth implants, implant-retained bridges, implant-retained dentures, bone grafting, the Gold Package, the Platinum Package, and the Zygomatic Package.
What does the monthly payment actually look like?
The table below shows example monthly payments at 0% interest over 12 months for the main treatments at my practices. Your exact figure is based on your confirmed treatment cost. Use the calculator below to see longer terms.

Figures are illustrations based on 0% APR representative over 12 months, with the first payment taken upfront. Longer terms of 36, 48 or 60 months are available at 11.9% APR representative. Finance is subject to status and provided through Tabeo. Your exact monthly payment is confirmed at your consultation.

The same treatment over different terms
These figures are illustrations to help you plan, not a quote or an offer of credit. Your exact treatment cost and payment plan are confirmed after your free 3D Smile Assessment. Treatment prices are "from" prices. Finance is subject to status and available to UK residents aged 18 and over with an income, for treatment up to £30,000. Your first monthly payment is taken upfront. Applying runs a soft credit check only; a hard check is made if you accept a loan. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may affect your credit score. Finance is arranged through Tabeo Finance Limited (trading as Tabeo), 5th Floor, 10 Finsbury Square, London EC2A 1AF, a credit broker and loan servicer authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 777539). The practice acts as a credit intermediary, not a lender.

- Putting the cost in perspective
How implant costs compare when you look at the full picture
Dental implants have a higher upfront cost than alternative tooth replacement options. That is true. What is less often said is how that cost compares over a 10, 15, or 20-year period.
A partial denture typically needs replacing every five to eight years. Over 20 years that means three to four replacements, plus the ongoing cost of adhesive, cleaning products, and any adjustments needed as the jawbone changes beneath it.
A dental bridge typically lasts 10 to 15 years before it needs replacing. It also requires the permanent alteration of the two healthy teeth on either side, which carries its own long-term clinical and cost implications.
A dental implant, maintained with normal brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups, can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing after 15 to 20 years. The titanium root component, once integrated, does not.
When patients look at the full picture across 20 or 30 years, the cost of a dental implant is almost always more competitive than it appears on first comparison. And with 0% finance over 12 months, the month-to-month cost is typically far more manageable than patients expect before they come in.

I'm Dr Nikhil Oberai MSC & Dental Implants are all I do
The finance options we offer through Tabeo exist because I want the cost of treatment to be as accessible as possible for every patient who needs it. But I also want to be clear that accessible cost never means a compromise in the standard of care. Every patient who finances their treatment through Tabeo receives exactly the same clinical attention, the same implant system, and the same aftercare as every patient who pays in full.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Dental Implantology from the University of Manchester, have a 99.5% implant success rate across more than 1,000 cases, and teach the same subject at postgraduate level as an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow. The outcome of your treatment does not change based on how you pay for it. It is always the same.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions my patients ask me about dental finance
0% finance means the total cost of your treatment does not increase when you spread it across monthly payments. You pay the same total amount as you would if you paid in full upfront. The monthly payment is simply your treatment cost divided by the number of months in the repayment term. There is no interest, no arrangement fee, and no premium for choosing to finance.
Finance is provided through Tabeo, a dental finance specialist. The application is made through Tabeo and the agreement is between you and Tabeo. My team will walk you through the process at your consultation and answer any questions you have about the application.
