Single Tooth Dental Implants

Dental implants are the next best thing to a real tooth, restoring function and aesthetics as well as confidence.

In contrast to dentures, which are a removable solution to tooth loss, dental implants are a permanent treatment that fuse with your jawbone to become a part of your body. Dental implants are life-changing and one of the most notable advances in modern dentistry.

What to expect from treatment with dental implants

We will invite you to an initial consultation, where we can answer your questions and go through the procedure with you. Once we have ascertained you are suitable for treatment, which involves making sure you have sufficient jawbone to support the implants, we can proceed with treatment. We will take x-rays, impressions and CT scans of your teeth, to make sure the restoration (the tooth-like part of the implant) is made in the image of your smile, matching your existing teeth. We will surgically place the implant into your jawbone and leave it to fuse, which takes a period of 3-6 months. We will then invite you back to the practice to have your restoration placed over the top of the implant, so your tooth’s function and aesthetic is restored.

The benefits of dental implants

• Fixed, permanent solution to tooth loss that protects the health of your jawbone. As the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone and made from biocompatible material (titanium), your body accepts it as if it were a real body part.
• Aesthetic and custom solution, made in the image of your smile.
• Restores tooth function to 100%.
• Dental implants can be cared for in the same way as existing teeth.
• They will last a lifetime if properly cared for.
