The Perfect Solution for Individual Tooth Loss Single tooth implants offer the ideal replacement for individual missing teeth, preserving your natural smile without affecting surrounding healthy teeth. Using a titanium post that acts as an artificial root, we create a permanent foundation for a custom crown that matches your existing teeth perfectly. Unlike bridges that require grinding down adjacent teeth, single implants stand independently, maintaining your natural tooth structure. This long-lasting solution prevents bone loss, keeps remaining teeth from shifting, and restores full function to your bite.
Seamless Integration with Your Natural Smile Our award-winning team specialises in creating single tooth replacements that are indistinguishable from your natural teeth. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to ensure you’re an ideal candidate, followed by precise implant placement using advanced CBCT imaging. After 3-4 months of healing, during which the implant fuses with your jawbone, we attach your custom-crafted crown. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and functions exactly like the one you lost, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
Every missing tooth matters. Our single tooth implants don’t just fill gaps – they restore function, preserve bone, and give you back the confidence to share your smile freely.
Single implants are often preferable as they don't require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth like bridges do. Implants also prevent bone loss and last longer (20-30 years versus 10-15 for bridges). They're easier to clean and maintain, functioning just like natural teeth.
Timing depends on your specific case. Sometimes we can place an implant immediately after extraction. More commonly, we wait 3-4 months for the socket to heal. If you've been missing a tooth for years, you may need bone grafting first, which we include in our treatment package.
Leaving gaps untreated causes surrounding teeth to shift, affecting your bite and potentially causing jaw problems. The jawbone in that area begins to deteriorate without stimulation from a tooth root. This can lead to a sunken appearance and make future implant placement more complex.
Implant success rates exceed 95% with proper placement and care. Factors like smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or poor oral hygiene can affect success. We thoroughly assess your suitability during consultation and provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
Care for your implant just like a natural tooth – brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend checkups every 6 months. No special maintenance is required. The implant itself can't decay, but maintaining healthy gums around it is essential for long-term success.
