A missing tooth can affect both your confidence and your oral health. Gaps can make eating and speaking more difficult, while also allowing neighbouring teeth to drift out of place. Over time, bone loss can occur at the site of the missing tooth. At Bond Dental, we offer single-tooth dental implants in London, a long-lasting solution that restores both function and appearance.
A single-tooth dental implant is a titanium post gently placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement root. Once the implant fuses with the bone through a natural process called osseointegration, it provides a secure base for a custom-made ceramic crown. This creates a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth, without relying on neighbouring teeth for support, as with traditional dental bridges.
Single-tooth implants are suitable for patients missing one tooth due to injury, decay, gum disease, or congenital absence (where a tooth never developed). Even if the gap is at the back of the mouth and less visible, replacing it helps maintain proper chewing function and prevents strain on surrounding teeth.
Your dentist will carry out a full clinical assessment, including scans where appropriate, to confirm whether your jawbone is suitable for implant placement. In some cases, a bone graft or other preparatory treatment may be recommended to ensure a suitable outcome.
Unlike removable options, single tooth implants are fixed into the jaw and designed to last many years. They provide a stable foundation so there’s no slipping or movement.
By replacing the missing tooth root, implants help maintain bone density and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting. Unlike traditional bridges, they do not require drilling into healthy teeth.
The ceramic crown is custom-made to match the shape, size, and shade of your natural teeth. The implant functions like a real tooth, allowing you to eat, chew, and speak with confidence, and it can be maintained with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
At your first appointment, your dentist will assess your mouth, take digital scans, and explain the procedure. A tailored treatment plan will be created based on your needs.
The titanium implant is carefully placed into the jaw under local anaesthetic. If the natural tooth is still present, it will be extracted first. For nervous patients, sedation can also be provided.
The implant typically takes three to six months to integrate with the bone. During this time, a temporary solution may be provided to maintain appearance and function.
Once healed, an impression is taken to design a bespoke crown that blends seamlessly with your smile. The crown is then securely attached to the implant, restoring your bite and appearance. From start to finish, treatment usually takes around six to eight months, depending on healing time.
