Single dental implants replace the gaps in your confidence left behind after losing a tooth.

This type of tooth replacement method is second to none, leaving you with a prosthetic, yet natural-feeling fixed tooth root that makes chewing and talking feel easy again.

What is a Single Dental Implant?

We describe single dental implants as replacement roots for a vacant tooth socket.

The implant is made from titanium and inserted into the jaw under anaesthetic. After the body has welcomed the implant as if it were a real tooth root, a false tooth (crown) can be firmly affixed over the top.

FAQs

Why do patients like Single Dental Implants

In the majority of cases where patients have lost a tooth, implants have the most potential to be successful in the long term. Implants stand apart from other tooth restorations, as they are the only option that fully replaces a whole tooth root. This means they can offer chewing and biting functions that cannot be rivalled by dentures and dental bridges.

As implants sit within the jawbone, they provide an aesthetic fit for your mouth and facial aesthetic. They do not rely on suction or the support of other teeth to co-exist with the natural teeth that sit alongside it within your jawbone.

What to expect from treatment?

The implant process takes several appointments to complete, as a healing period is needed for the implant to attach to the jawbone. Once the implant and jawbone have fused, a prosthetic tooth can be affixed over the top.

The treatment planning process is digitised, allowing for an excellent degree of predictability each step of the way.

As part of our commitment to delivering life-changing treatment using implants, we have partnered with pioneering implant brands, including Straumann, Southern Implants and Rex. We are very proud to have been the first dental practice in the UK to fit a patient with a Rex implant.
