When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth. The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

Single Implants

Patients we treat who have lost more than one tooth often wear partial dentures.

Single Implants for Individual Tooth Loss

Do you need to replace an individual lost through trauma, decay or gum disease? You are not the only one.

An outstanding amount of implants are placed every year in the UK. An average of 30,000 implants are fixed every year.

Our dental implant dentists have undergone further specialised training to perform this kind of treatment and all variations of implant-related treatments, including single implants.

You can expect higher success rates when opting to go with a specialist dentist for this treatment.

Here, we boast higher than average implant success rates at the Perfect Smile. The national average is 95%.

As experts in restorative dentistry, we conduct thousands of implantations annually and offer an emergency placement service for patients requiring immediate treatment.

Single Implants Are a Durable Solution to Fix:

Missing and loose teeth
A heavily decayed tooth
Broken and cracked teeth
Teeth damaged from injury

How Does the Procedure Work?

A dental implant is often the easiest and simplest way of restoring the stability and aesthetics of the mouth.

Single implants are recommended as a replacement when a single tooth is missing or if a tooth needs to be extracted.

Made from titanium, the implant is positioned deep into the bone. This creates a replica of your tooth roots.

The top part of your implant is then constructed from our latest hard-wearing porcelain range to look and feel like a new tooth.

This treatment is proper when we do not want to damage or impact the teeth on either side of the missing tooth.

Dental implant treatments are simple surgical procedures and should not affect the teeth on either side of the gap.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

The treatment time for implants varies – our dentist will detail timings in your bespoke treatment plan.

Traditional tooth implants can take a few months for the jawbone to integrate with the titanium implant.

By taking advantage of modern technology, we can now choose to treat you with a system that only takes one dental visit and quickly resolve your dental issues and improve your confidence levels.

However, single implant treatments can differ from patient to patient.

In the simplest of cases where CBCT scans show a substantial bone amount, our dentists can implant a new tooth over a few appointments across a 3-5 month period.

The healing period gives the optimal time for the implant to fuse with the bone and heal.

Additional procedures like tooth extractions may delay the process slightly longer as we allow the gum and bone area to heal before we make any changes.

Titanium Screws: the Favoured Solution

Titanium implants are the most common long-term solution available, with excellent results.

The main advantage of this particular type of dental implant is that the neighbouring teeth require no preparation.

Using this method allows the rest of your dentition to be left intact.

Also, as the tooth implant is permanently fixed in your mouth, you can treat it like any other tooth in your mouth.

You do not have to remove it or worry about it coming loose (like dentures).

Effects of Tooth Loss

Tooth loss can have a detrimental effect on the quality of one’s life, leading to further dental problems and psychological problems such as low self-esteem and social impairment.

A single tooth lost at the front of the mouth can negatively impact your self-esteem.
A tooth lost at the back of the mouth can cause problems chewing, leading to more pressure or chewing forces on the remaining teeth.
If a missing tooth is left untreated, it can have detrimental effects in the long term on the remaining teeth. Here, the remaining teeth have to compensate for the lost tooth and have to increase their load. Missing teeth often lead to excessive tooth wear or fracturing of the neighbouring teeth.
Missing teeth at the front of the mouth may also impair or alter your speech. Learn more here.
The surrounding bone can begin to diminish, making enhancing treatment more complex as time goes on.
Loss of a tooth can cause drifting or movement of the neighbouring teeth. The movement slowly creates continual food and plaque traps leading to possible decay and gum disease.

Pain-free

Comfortable treatments

At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when thinking of undergoing dental implant surgery.

We want to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful due to the proper use of local anaesthetics to numb the bone and gum deeply.

We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort. More.

Bone Quality

Insufficient Bone

When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth.
The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

Implant Costs

The price of a dental implant can depend on whether any further treatments are needed to make sure your implant is a success.

Treatment	Cost
Implant Consultation	£100
Implant Placement from	£1250
Crown from	£1200

Successful Dental Implants Can Last a Lifetime

Once the implant has fused with your jawbone and tissues, the artificial titanium implant acts as an ordinary root.

When we implant a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes part of your oral foundation.

This offers several health benefits that include preventing any bone loss whilst supporting the jawbone structure and reducing the risk of gum disease. More.

“If treated correctly, dental implants can last from ten to twenty-five years or more.”

Dental implants can help with:

Teeth lost to trauma, accident or injury
Missing teeth caused by gum disease or lack of bone
Replace old, worn or broken dentures
Implant integrated treatments like Implant-Retained Dentures
Removable and fixed options
Replace individual tooth loss or full arches in one sitting

The longevity of your implant depends on how you improve and maintain your oral health. Read more.
