Dental implants are so much more than just a tooth replacement– they restore quality of life and work very similarly to a natural tooth.

Your introduction to Single Dental Implants

Breakdown: individual titanium implants replace lost or extracted tooth roots.

Life Benefits: implants offer a fixed and long-term solution for tooth loss. They exist within the jaw as if they were real teeth, protecting and maintaining your jawbone.

Appointments: from 3-4 (depending on complexity).

What are Single Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the leading treatment for replacing missing teeth. They possess many of the same characteristics as a real tooth.

Single dental implants are a biocompatible replacement tooth root. Once they have been fixed within the jaw, they perform all the functions of a real tooth. You won’t have to remove your implant to clean it, and there won’t be any limitations on what you can eat.

Getting a single dental implant involves the following steps:

  • Consultation/Examination
    During your consultation, we will explain everything involved during the implant process, answer your questions, and let you know if you may be a suitable candidate for treatment. A set of X-rays are taken, and we refer for CBCT scans when required.
  • Implant Placement
    The implant is placed under local anaesthetic. We can also offer sedation to help you relax during the procedure. Once placed, the healing time is approximately 3-9 months dependent on factors such as age, general health, and jawbone health.
  • Smile Design
    Your dentist will take digital impressions using our intraoral scanner of the teeth on either side of the gap once the jaw has healed. Using this, they will create a bespoke crown to fit over the top of the implant.
  • Crown Fixture
    The crown is fixed in place onto a connecting element called an abutment. It screws firmly and painlessly into place. You then have a long-term solution to tooth loss and the peace of mind that you can enjoy eating and smiling all over again.

FAQs

Why Should I Choose Single Dental Implants For Tooth Replacement?

Like A Real Tooth
The biocompatible nature of the titanium used to make implants, and the fact that the jaw heals around them, makes them the (almost) equal of a real tooth. In fact, they are the closest thing available to a real tooth.

Unrivalled For Chewing
As a fixed entity, an implant is unmatched when compared with tooth replacement treatments like dentures. They won’t budge when you chew, leaving you to enjoy a completely normal, varied diet (this may currently not be the case if you have one or more missing teeth).

Smile Like You Mean It
It can be really hard to find willingness to smile when you’ve got a tooth missing. With your implant in place, you’ll be able to find reasons to smile confidently and without thinking twice about doing so.
