If you have lost a tooth, or have one that can no longer be saved, there is more than one way to replace it. The best option depends on the position of the tooth, the health of the teeth around it and what you want from your replacement.
A single dental implant offers a fixed way to replace the tooth from the root upwards, so your replacement can feel like a natural part of everyday life when you eat, speak and smile.
Dental implant consultations: £79
There are several ways to replace one missing tooth. A denture or bridge may be appropriate in some circumstances, but if you are looking for a fixed replacement that can simply stay in place as you eat, speak and go about your day, a dental implant offers a different approach.
For many people considering how to replace a single tooth, one of the main attractions of an implant is its independence. Unlike a conventional bridge, it does not depend on the neighbouring teeth for support, allowing healthy adjacent teeth to remain untouched where appropriate.
An implant also replaces more than the part of the tooth you can see. By replacing the missing root, it helps maintain the bone in that area of the jaw after tooth loss. The crown above it is individually made to sit naturally alongside your surrounding teeth.
Implant treatment begins with an assessment of the tooth or gap, the surrounding teeth and gums, and the bone available to support an implant.
If an implant is suitable, it is placed into the jaw and allowed time to integrate with the surrounding bone. Once it is ready, the final crown can be made and securely fitted.
Every case is different, so the exact treatment and timings will be explained after we have assessed your mouth rather than giving you a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
Start with a £79 implant consultation
Your consultation is the opportunity to look properly at the tooth or gap, discuss the different ways it could be replaced and understand which options are suitable for you.
If the tooth is still present but has been badly damaged or is failing, you can also come to see us before it is removed.
Planning the replacement in advance can give you a clearer idea of what happens next.

Yes, you can discuss an implant before a failing tooth is removed. We can assess the tooth and the surrounding area and explain the possible replacement options as part of your treatment planning.
Suitability depends on your individual circumstances, including the health of your mouth, gums and bone, your general health and the position of the missing or failing tooth. Your implant consultation allows us to assess these factors properly before recommending treatment.
