Single Implants
Single-tooth implants can be used in people who are missing one or more teeth.
Losing a tooth can feel like you’ve lost your whole smile and can lead to loss of confidence from the beauty of your natural smile. You can also find that it interrupts your daily routine when it comes to eating and speaking. As a result, patients will turn to single tooth dental implants as a long-term solution.
What Are Single Tooth Dental Implants?
An implant is surgically placed in an opening that your dentist makes in the jawbone. After the implant attaches to your bone, it acts as a new “root” for the crown that will replace your missing tooth. A crown, which is made to look like a natural tooth, is attached to the implant and fills the space left in the mouth by the missing tooth.
Benefits of having a Single Dental Implant
There can be several benefits to having single implants as your long term solution to missing teeth.
Implants function in the same way as natural teeth. This means you can eat any type of food you like – with confidence and without pain – including foods that are hard, like apples, or difficult to chew, like crusty bread or steak. Implants also improve your ‘bite’ (i.e. the action of the jaws opening and closing), meaning your new teeth can bite and chew food just like normal teeth.
Implants are permanently fixed in place, so you don’t have to remove them for cleaning, take them out at night or worry about them moving, becoming loose or falling out. So, with one or two additional cleaning methods, which you will be shown you can clean your new implant-supported teeth as easily as natural teeth.
Most beneficial of all is the improved confidence that it can bring to your day to day life. A gap in your tooth may prevent you from smiling throughout the day, feeling anxious that someone will notice the missing tooth. Since dental implants act as a replacement for your natural tooth, the transition is seamless, making it practically unnoticeable.
What Patients Say
I would thoroughly recommend it
Steve had struggled with a problem tooth for nearly 30 years before finally seeking treatment at Hale Dental. After undergoing a tooth extraction and having a dental implant placed, he was able to put years of discomfort behind him.
Steve says the entire process was explained clearly from start to finish, and he couldn’t recommend the treatment highly enough.
It’s totally worth it!
After an accident, poor repair work with bridges left Phil facing difficulties with speech and low on confidence. So how does he rate implants from the Hale Dental team? He says they’re better than the real thing!
Just go for it!
Guy discovered Hale Dental following a recommendation from his dentist. He says implants from Hale Dental have restored his confidence and put a spring back in his step. And the procedure turned out to be much more comfortable than expected.
Our 5* Reviews
“Going to the dentist can be a stressful experience, but every time I go to Hale Dental it’s a dream! Everyone is so lovely and inviting that it makes the experience as pleasant as it can be! Highly recommended!”
“Nothing but praises for the professionals at Hale Dental Clinic. My case was a bit complicated – had to get dental implants. The thought of it sent shivers down my spine. But the team, my goodness, they made the whole experience practically painless. From the first consultation to the aftercare, everything was just spot-on. They took their time to explain every step, answering all my questions, putting my fears to rest. The environment was calming, and the staff, incredibly welcoming. For anyone who’s been putting off getting their dental issues sorted due to fear, Hale Dental Clinic is the place to go.”
I’m writing to thank you for the fantastic job you did with my implant. I already knew I would be in excellent hands because you were so highly recommended to me by my regular dentist whom I greatly trust. I saw from the final scan that it was not the simplest case, because of the need to avoid the sinuses, but you would never know from the result. You have such solid experience Richard and invest in the very best equipment to deliver the best possible outcomes. The tooth that Sophie fitted is absolutely perfect. Louise explained the process so clearly and helpfully throughout and was always available to clarify anything I needed to check.

And I was so relaxed got through it perfectly.. Thank you to you all..”
“I am really impressed with the treatment I had here. I was completely pain free during my implants procedure. The staff are all very professional and caring. I was contacted by Richard and Ed over the following couple of days to ask if everything was ok. Couldn’t speak highly enough of all the staff.”
“I have been attending The Hale Dental and Implant Clinic for years! I travel a long distance to attend and would not feel comfortable going to anyone else, especially as they know and understand my dental history! I have always received excellent care within a professional, caring and friendly environment!”
“I have a phobia of the dentist after previous bad experiences. Dentist Sophie is amazing. I wouldn’t see anyone else. She now looks after my little boys teeth too and is great with him. The hygienist is brilliant too, talked to me step by step about what was happening and what I could do better to keep my teeth healthy. All the staff at Hale are really friendly and welcoming. The ladies on the desk are always really kind to my little boy. Thanks to everyone and we look forward to our next visit.”
