Dental implants have revolutionised dentistry and are the next best thing to having a new natural tooth. From replacing a single missing tooth, to giving you back a complete mouthful of secure, aesthetic, functional teeth, implants can be literally life changing.

A single implant with a ceramic crown is the best long lasting replacement to a missing tooth. By replacing the tooth with a dental implant, you will prevent the adjacent teeth from drifting into the space, causing other problems.

An implant does not rely on or affect the adjacent teeth and looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

Benefits of single tooth dental implants

Renewed confidence: Eat comfortably knowing your implant will stay still and not cause embarrassing moments. This is because the implant root is placed into your jaw where it binds with your bone to provide a secure anchor for a replacement tooth.

Improved comfort: Because the teeth attached to implants don't move, there is no painful rubbing and associated ulceration of the sensitive skin that lines the mouth, unlike with a traditional denture.

Less destructive: Gaps can be filled without resorting to cutting away neighbouring teeth to make a bridge. One in five teeth prepared to support a bridge will be damaged irreversibly by this, and in the worst case the tooth will need to be extracted. Implants avoid this by totally removing the need to cut down healthy neighbouring teeth.
