A single dental implant is used to replace a missing tooth with a fixed, long-term solution.

The implant acts as an artificial root, supporting a crown that is designed to function and appear like a natural tooth.

Implant treatment is planned following a comprehensive assessment of oral health, bone support, bite forces, and surrounding teeth. This allows placement to be carried out in a way that supports long-term stability rather than simply filling a space.

Implant treatment is provided by our experienced implant clinician, Sami, with care carefully planned from assessment through to the final restoration. You can read more about Sami’s background, training, and clinical approach in his profile within the Meet the Team section of our website.

Who is a single implant suitable for?

Frequently asked questions

1 How long does treatment take?

Treatment is usually completed over a few months, as it involves placing the implant, allowing time for healing, and then fitting your final crown. The healing phase typically takes around 3–6 months, ensuring the implant integrates securely with the bone. While this may seem like a longer process, it provides a stable, long-lasting result. If you’re unsure, we can assess your case and guide you through a personalised timeline.

2 Is the procedure painful?

The procedure itself is very comfortable, as it’s carried out under local anaesthetic. Afterwards, you may notice some mild soreness or swelling, but this is usually short-lived and easy to manage with simple pain relief. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how straightforward the recovery feels. If you have any concerns, we’ll talk you through what to expect in detail.

3 How long do implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and, with good care, can last for many years—often decades. They integrate with the Jawbone, offering excellent stability and durability compared to other options. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular check-ups will help protect your investment. If you’d like aftercare advice, we’re always happy to help.

4 Are there alternatives?

Yes, alternatives such as dental bridges and partial dentures are available. These can be effective in certain cases, but they don’t offer the same level of stability or help preserve the jawbone in the same way implants do. The right option will depend on your individual needs, preferences, and budget. If you’re unsure, we can discuss the options with you and help you make a confident, informed choice.
