Restorative & Implant Dentistry

Single Dental Implant

A titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial root, capped with a custom ceramic crown. This is for patients missing a single tooth who want a permanent, standalone replacement that functions like a natural tooth.

Technologies

If left untreated

A gap can allow neighbouring teeth to tip and the opposing tooth to over-erupt.

Bone in the space continues to shrink, which can make later implants harder.

Methodology

Treatment Stages

  1. Step 1. Plan and scans

    Bone and bite are assessed. A surgical guide is used when it improves accuracy.

  2. Step 2. Placement

    The implant is placed under local anaesthetic. A temporary tooth may be fitted when suitable.

  3. Step 3. Crown

    After healing, a ceramic crown is made and fitted to the implant.
