A single dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth using a small titanium post placed into the jawbone.
Once healed, a custom-made crown is fitted on top, restoring the appearance and function of the missing tooth. The result blends seamlessly with your natural smile and feels comfortable and secure.
Because nearby teeth are left untouched, a single implant helps maintain the natural balance of your bite.
Single dental implants suit many people who:
Have one missing tooth
Have several missing teeth in different areas of their mouth
Want to avoid a bridge or denture
Want a fixed, natural-feeling replacement
Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone
During your consultation, your dentist will assess your oral health and talk through whether a single implant is the right option for you.
Fixed and secure
A single dental implant stays firmly in place, with no movement, so your replacement tooth feels stable and reliable day to day.
Natural look and feel
Each implant is carefully designed to match your surrounding teeth, restoring a missing tooth with a discreet, lifelike result that looks and feels natural.
Protects neighbouring teeth
Unlike a dental bridge, a single implant does not rely on or alter nearby teeth, helping preserve your natural smile.
Eat and speak with confidence
A secure, fixed tooth supports comfortable chewing and clear speech, so everything feels as it should.
Supports jawbone health
By replacing the tooth root, a single dental implant helps maintain jawbone strength and long-term facial structure after tooth loss.
Local anaesthetic supports comfort during treatment. For nervous patients, safe sedation options are available.
Aftercare advice is provided clearly, and our team remains available if you need reassurance during healing.
