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 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.”
Linda Prytherch
Really happy with the service provided, special thank you to Nina, who was really patient with me (I am a very nervous customer). This is not the first time I attend Hale Dental, considering it is quite far from where I live, I will still be using their services. Highly recommend.”

Sues Florist
“My first visit to the clinic was very positive. I am extremely anxious at dental appointments but they were so patient with me. Everything was done to minimise my anxiety. I feel confident going ahead now, with a full programme of implant work in the next few months. This is a huge step for me and I have full confidence in the team I met at the clinic who explained the whole procedure to me. Thank you! This dentophobe is actually looking forward to starting treatment.”
Diana Lorenz
“I went to Hale based on a recommendation, to have Invisalign treatment. For over 40 years I had horrendously crooked teeth with one front tooth pointing backwards at a sharp angle. From the point of initial consultation and contact Megan, Sophie and the team have been outstanding. The treatment was fully explained, every step of the way. Each session has been done in minutes and no question is too much. I always get a great explanation of what each session will do. I’m now nearing the end and starting to whiten whilst using the final finishing aligners. My teeth? I’m absolutely delighted and I’m not finished yet.”
