Dental implants provide the optimal solution for anyone missing one or more of their natural teeth. Solutions are individually designed for each specific situation, allowing nearly everyone to eat, laugh and smile naturally. Implant treatment is usually performed under local anaesthetic allowing you to leave your dentist’s office with new teeth that function, look and feel just like your own.
A single implant is used to replace an individual missing tooth
The implant is carefully placed in the jawbone, to act as a base for your new tooth.
The crown will then be added and the single implant will blend in and function perfectly with the rest of your teeth.
The total duration of your specific treatment depends on many factors. Your dentist will be happy to discuss these with you.
If you have a single missing tooth, a single dental implant is the best solution for you. This has become the first choice for many patients who are missing a tooth from their smile! But just as importantly, single implants can be placed anywhere in your mouth as well as being used to place single crowns.
With dental implants, you can count on natural looking, securely fixed new teeth and the confidence that goes with it. You will no longer need to worry about chewing, talking, laughing or crying, enabling you to be yourself and express your feelings.
More and more people are discovering that dental implants feel and function like natural teeth. We believe a restored tooth should look natural and blend in with the rest of your teeth. We will design the crown to match in colour, size and shape, so it fits perfectly into the gap left by the missing tooth. Your new tooth will also function like a normal tooth, allowing you to eat, bite and chew with ease.
If you have a single tooth missing and no other major dental work, you will probably have a healthy mouth. The best solution for replacing a missing tooth in a healthy person is often a dental implant retained crown.
In this situation the dental implant is placed into the jawbone, beneath the gum and following a period of healing, a single Crown is attached to the implant. This will look and feel very much like your own tooth and does not involve attaching components such as dental bridges to your adjacent teeth.
Dental Implants can be a costly treatment due to the materials used, training needed, and machinery involved in such a complex treatment. However, everyone’s mouth and circumstances are unique and so placing a set cost on a treatment is difficult without first understanding the patient.
Our staff are highly trained and knowledgeable about the latest available techniques and treatments. For an overview of expected costs please see our Fee Guide. Your dentist will provide a detailed personalised treatment plan with your specific costs after your initial consultation.
If dental implants aren’t for you there are a few alternatives to replace your missing teeth such as a bridge or same day implants that fill the gap without replacing the tooth root. The issue with these treatments is without the root the jawbone is no longer being supported. We advise consulting your dentist about the best solution for you and your situation.
