Single Tooth Dental 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
“..Sophie is a lovely, gentle, professional and talented lady, and I am so incredibly pleased with the small (yet amazing) change she’s made to my smile! I keep smiling at myself in the mirror!! ???? I feel like I want to return because it was a lovely experience, but I have nothing to return for. You can even watch TV whilst having treatment, there is a TV on the ceiling! I feel this would help to relax nervous patients. I will be referring anyone I know to Sophie, because I’d know that they are in safe hands..”
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.
“We have had nothing but good experience with Hale Dental. All the dentists and staff are very supportive, efficient and friendly. Our daughter had to have an extraction to allow further orthodontist work and Richard handled it very smoothly. Our daughter recovered very quickly with very little discomfort. Couldn’t recommend Hale Dental more highly.”

“One of the best dentists I have ever been to. From check-in the reception staff were super friendly and knowledgable.
