What Is A Single Tooth Implant?

Single-tooth implant is a highly effective solution for replacing a missing tooth. It involves placing a small titanium screw that acts as a tooth root, which is then topped with a custom-made crown.

The result is a natural-looking and fully functional tooth replacement that doesn’t compromise the health of neighboring teeth. We carefully design the crown to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, ensuring a beautifully even and natural-looking finish.

How Much Do Single Tooth Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure. For instance, if your jawbone lacks sufficient density, a bone graft may be necessary before placing the implant.

At Calm Dental, the starting price for a straightforward single tooth replacement with an implant is approximately £3,500. To make this treatment more accessible, we offer convenient payment plans, allowing you to spread the cost into manageable monthly installments.

Benefits of A Single Tooth Implant

Feels Like A Natural Tooth

Single tooth implant doesn’t involve any of the neighbouring teeth, unlike traditional methods of replacing missing teeth. It’s the ideal way to replace a tooth; it looks and feels like a natural tooth.

Aesthetic Appeal

Dental implants closely resemble your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile for a flawless appearance. A confident, healthy smile enhances your self-esteem, ensuring nothing holds you back.

Durability

Crafted from strong, biocompatible materials such as titanium, implants offer exceptional durability and longevity. Unlike alternative treatments, implants fully restore dental function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without compromise.

Jawbone Preservation

Unlike traditional bridges, implants actively prevent bone loss and facial sagging by providing essential support to your jawbone, preserving your facial structure and overall oral health.

Cost-Effective

Although dental implants have a higher initial investment, their longevity makes them a more cost-effective solution over time. Unlike bridges or dentures, which typically require periodic replacement or repairs, implants provide lasting value and sustained oral health benefits.

How do Single Tooth Implants Work?

A single tooth implant replaces the natural tooth root with a hollow screw that’s inserted into the jawbone at the site of the original root. It’s a relatively simple procedure that delivers significant long-term benefits.

After placing the implant, we allow time for healing—usually a couple of months. Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, the final replacement tooth is securely attached.

Single Tooth Implants Procedure

1. Initial Consultation & Planning

The first stage involves a consultation, where we’ll discuss your specific needs, answer any questions about the implant procedure, costs, and potential implications for your dental health. We’ll also explore alternative treatment options to ensure implants are the right choice for you.

Following this, you’ll be invited back for detailed diagnostic records, including digital photographs, a precise 3D CT scan of the implant site, and digital scans of your neighbouring teeth and entire mouth. This comprehensive assessment allows us to plan your implant placement accurately and safely, tailored specifically to your unique dental structure and health goals.

2. Implant Placement

The next phase involves placing the implant securely into your jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. A local anaesthetic ensures comfort throughout the procedure.

If you have concerns about anxiety, please discuss these options with your dentist beforehand to ensure a relaxed and comfortable experience.

3. Temporary Restoration & Healing Period

After the implant is placed, we will provide you with a temporary restoration, which could be a removable denture, a retainer with a temporary tooth, or a temporary crown fitted directly to the implant. This temporary solution maintains aesthetics and function while your implant naturally integrates with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration, typically lasting between 3 to 6 months.

Once integration is complete and the implant is firmly bonded with the bone, you’ll return to our clinic for the fitting of your permanent, custom-made crown.

4. Abutment & Crown Placement

Once your implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, the next step involves placing a small connector, known as an abutment, onto the implant. The abutment securely anchors your custom-made dental crown, which is carefully designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Once fitted, this permanent crown fully restores both the appearance and functionality of your tooth, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile and the ability to chew and speak with confidence.

6. Follow-up Care & Maintenance

Regular follow-up visits are essential to ensure your implant is healing correctly and that your new tooth functions as intended. Our dental team will carefully evaluate your progress and address any concerns promptly. Some mild discomfort can be expected immediately after the procedure, but this is typically managed effectively with over-the-counter pain medication.

You’ll also receive comprehensive aftercare instructions to help maintain the health, comfort, and longevity of your implant for years to come.

FAQs

Can I get a single tooth implant?

Advancements in implant technology now allow most individuals to replace a missing tooth with an implant. However, factors like bone density and oral health can influence suitability. A comprehensive evaluation will determine if an implant is the right choice for you.

How long does a single tooth implant last?

With proper care, including diligent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a single tooth implant can last many years without needing replacement.

Is the single tooth implant procedure painful?

The implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring you don’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is common but can typically be managed with over-the-counter painkillers.

How many teeth can one implant support?

Generally, one implant supports a single tooth. In some cases, two teeth can be placed on one implant. Your dentist will advise if this is appropriate, especially if you’re missing multiple teeth.

Can I replace all my teeth with single implants?

While it’s possible to replace each missing tooth with an individual implant, other solutions like implant-retained dentures or bridges might be more practical for multiple or full-mouth replacements.

What is the recovery time for a single dental implant?

Most individuals recover within a few days. The implant site may be tender initially, and pain relief can help alleviate discomfort during this period.

Can I get a dental implant years after tooth extraction?

Yes, replacing a tooth with an implant is often possible even years after extraction. In some instances, bone augmentation may be necessary to ensure sufficient support for the implant. ​
