Single Tooth Dental Implants

Dental implants are considered the best solution to a missing tooth, providing the same level of function and aesthetic as a real tooth.

Unlike dentures, which are a removable treatment, dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and become a permanent part of your body. They truly are one of the most significant and life-changing developments in modern dentistry to date.

What to expect from single tooth dental implant treatment

Once we have established that you have sufficient jawbone to go ahead with treatment, we can surgically place the implant into your jawbone, leaving it to fuse over a period of months. Implants are made from titanium, a material that’s highly biocompatible with your body. After around 3- 6 months, we will invite you back to the practice to have your restoration (crown) fitted over the top, providing function and aesthetic to your implant.

The benefits of single tooth dental implant treatment

• Fixed solution to a missing tooth that protects the health of your jawbone. Dentures alone don’t have the ability to offer such protection.
• Aesthetic result – your friends, colleagues and loved ones need not even know you have a dental implant!
• Restores tooth function to 100%.
• Care for your implant in the same way you would an existing tooth.
• Dental implants can last a lifetime if properly cared for.

If you have multiple missing teeth, we can provide an extremely stable and functional solution, replacing a full arch of ten to twelve teeth by firmly securing them to just five or six implants. It is also possible to have implant supported dentures and both these techniques help patients discover a renewed confidence.

Full arch implant cases can often be more complex but, rest assured, Dr Wilson has performed many multiple implant procedures with excellent, long-lasting results.
