Replace a missing tooth with a single dental implant – A strong natural looking solution for one lost tooth.
If you’re missing a single tooth, a dental implant is often the most advanced and lasting solution. We’re experts at using cutting-edge 3D technology to plan and place your implant with exceptional precision—restoring not only your smile but also your confidence.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts like a replacement tooth root. Titanium is highly biocompatible, which means your body accepts it as if it were part of you—making it a trusted material used in many areas of medicine. Over time, the implant naturally bonds with your jawbone to form a secure foundation for a custom-made crown.
Alternatives to Consider
While options like dental bridges or partial dentures can fill a gap, they come with compromises.
Bridges may require removal of healthy tooth structure to support the missing tooth.
Dentures can feel bulky, impact your speech or chewing, and are often less ideal for replacing a single tooth. Dental implants, on the other hand, preserve the surrounding teeth and bone—and according to the British Health Foundation, are now considered a more cost-effective solution in the long run.
How the Implant Process Works
- Planning & Digital Scanning: We begin with a 3D scan of your jaw to precisely map out the implant site.
- Placement: The implant (a small screw-like post) is gently placed into your jawbone.
- Healing & Bonding: Over 2–6 months, the implant integrates with your bone, creating a stable anchor.
- Abutment & Crown: Once healing is complete, we place a lifelike custom crown onto the implant. This crown is crafted to match the colour, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth for a flawless finish.
- Same-Day Options: In select cases, we may be able to place your implant and fit a temporary crown all in the same day—so you can smile confidently, sooner.
