What Are
Single Tooth Implants?
A tooth implant is a small, strong titanium post placed in your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it heals, a custom-made crown is attached on top, creating a replacement tooth that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Tooth implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile confidently while helping to maintain your jawbone and prevent shifting of your other teeth.
The Steps Involved in a Single Implant Procedure
Here’s what you can expect when getting a single tooth implant:
Diagnosis and Planning
We’ll start with a full examination, including X-rays, to check your jawbone and overall oral health. If your jaw needs extra support, a bone graft may be recommended. We’ll answer all your questions and book your implant appointment once you’re ready to proceed.
Placing the Implant
During your appointment, the titanium implant is placed into your jawbone. If a bone graft is needed, it may be done at the same time or beforehand, depending on your case. You can choose local anaesthetic or sleep dentistry to ensure your comfort.
After placement, we allow 3–4 months for healing as your bone securely bonds with the implant.
Taking Impressions
Once healed, we’ll take impressions of your mouth to create a custom-made porcelain tooth that matches your natural teeth perfectly.
Placing Your New Tooth
Your new tooth is carefully attached to the implant and checked to ensure it looks and feels just right.
You’re now ready to enjoy your new smile with confidence!

Dental Implant FAQs
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Dental implant suitability depends on a few factors, including your oral health, general health, and jawbone condition. You’ll typically need healthy gums, good oral hygiene, and enough bone to support the implant. Certain health conditions can affect healing, so we’ll discuss your health history to ensure implants are the right choice for you.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
You won’t feel pain during your dental implant procedure as it’s performed under local anaesthesia. After the procedure, you may experience some swelling or discomfort, but this is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last a lifetime with proper care. Good oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist will help your implants stay in excellent condition for many years to come.
Are dental implants easy to take care of?
Yes, dental implants are easy to look after. You care for them just like your natural teeth by brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly. Unlike dentures, there’s no need for special adhesives or taking them out at night.
Are there any age limitations for getting dental implants?
No, age alone doesn’t limit your ability to get dental implants. If you’re in good health and have healthy gums and jawbone, you may be a suitable candidate. Older adults may require extra medical checks, but many people get implants well into their senior years.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Yes! One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is that they let you eat and chew comfortably, just like you would with natural teeth. They provide a stable foundation, so you can enjoy your favourite foods without worry.
