A monoblock implant, also known as a monophasic or one-piece implant, is a type of dental implant whose design integrates the implant body (the part that goes into the bone) and the abutment (the connection for the crown) into a single, solid, indivisible structure.
To understand it better, at Face Clinic, we explain that the main difference from a conventional dental implant is the absence of the internal connecting screw. This structural simplicity is its greatest strength.
Whereas traditional implants consist of two pieces that are joined together, the monophasic implant eliminates this connection, which results in greater strength and the avoidance of certain long-term complications. They can be made of either titanium or zirconium.
The choice of a monophasic implant, supervised by a specialist, offers significant benefits for the patient.
Yes, and it is crucial that the patient is aware of them. At Face Clinic, we believe in complete transparency so that you can make the best-informed decision together with our specialists.
The main consideration is its lower prosthetic versatility. As it is a single piece, the angle of the abutment cannot be modified. This demands extremely precise surgical placement by the surgeon, as the implant’s position will dictate the final position of the crown with no room for correction. For this reason, the use of a monophasic implant must be assessed by an implantologist with extensive experience.
The procedure for placing a monoblock implant is quick and efficient, but it requires impeccable planning and execution.
The robustness and reliability of this technique are widely documented in scientific literature, as shown by studies from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

The price of a monoblock or monophasic implant in the UK is very similar to that of a high-end conventional two-piece implant. The final cost depends not so much on the implant design as on the complete treatment plan, which includes the surgery, the type of crown (material, whether it is temporary or permanent), and the specific needs of the patient.
It is advisable to consult directly with the clinic to obtain a specific quote that includes all associated costs. At Face Clinic, we offer different financing options to facilitate your treatment.
Monophasic implants are extremely safe and reliable. Their main “risk” or consideration is not for the patient, but for the professional: they require perfect placement. Any deviation in the angle is very difficult to correct prosthetically.
At Face Clinic, we have maxillofacial surgeons and advanced 3D planning, which allows us to minimise these challenges and guarantee precise placement for optimal and long-lasting results. We always prioritise the safety and well-being of our patients.

They are not “better” or “worse”; they are different and indicated for different cases. Their main advantage is their strength and mechanical simplicity. However, two-piece implants offer greater versatility for correcting angulation. The key to success is determined by the surgeons at Face Clinic when selecting the ideal type of implant for your anatomy and specific needs.
Generally, the cost of a monoblock or monophasic implant is very similar to that of a high-end conventional two-piece implant. The final price of the treatment does not vary significantly due to the implant’s design, but rather due to the complete plan (type of crown, additional surgeries if necessary, etc.). We will offer you a detailed quote during your first assessment visit.
The placement of a monophasic implant demands extreme precision, as it does not allow for subsequent angle corrections. Therefore, it is crucial that it is performed by a surgeon with extensive experience, such as the maxillofacial surgeons at Face Clinic, to guarantee the long-term success of the treatment.
Like high-quality conventional implants, a correctly osseointegrated and cared-for monoblock or monophasic implant is designed to last a lifetime. Its robust one-piece design may even contribute to greater longevity by eliminating the risk of mechanical connection failures.
No, its indication must be assessed by a specialist. They are ideal in situations where the bone allows for a straight and precise placement. In cases where a specific angulation is required for the crown, a two-piece implant might be more suitable. 3D planning at Face Clinic is key to making this decision.
