Replace one missing tooth — naturally and confidently
If you’ve lost a tooth (front or back), a single tooth implant is one of the most reliable ways to restore it. It replaces the missing root and crown, so it feels close to a natural tooth.
We plan your implant carefully using 3D imaging when needed (see: 3D scans). Then we design the final crown to match your bite and your smile.
What you can expect with us
Same dentist, start to finish
You’ll see the same dentist throughout your implant journey.
Honest advice, never pressure
No obligation. No pressure to proceed after your first visit.
Comfort & control first
We don’t rush or push through pain. We pause, adjust, or stop — and only continue when you’re comfortable.
Precise planning for long-lasting results
We plan your bite and aesthetics carefully so your new tooth looks right and feels stable.
What is a single tooth implant?
A single tooth implant replaces the missing root with a titanium implant and then replaces the visible tooth with a custom ceramic crown. It’s fixed in place and designed to feel close to a natural tooth.
- Looks natural (matched to your teeth and gums)
- Doesn’t rely on other teeth (unlike a bridge)
- Helps prevent jawbone shrinkage where the tooth was lost
- Designed for long-term use with good care

Front tooth implant
Replacing a front tooth is about shape, colour, and gum symmetry. We focus on small details so your implant crown blends in with the teeth next to it.
- Careful shade matching (so it doesn’t look “too white”)
- Crown shape designed to suit your face and smile
- Gum line planning to keep things even
Is a single tooth implant painful?
Most patients find implant placement more comfortable than they expected. It’s done under local anaesthetic. Afterward, soreness is usually manageable with standard pain relief.
If you feel anxious about dental treatment, see: Nervous patients (we’ll take it at your pace).
How long does it take?
Most single tooth implants take 3–6 months from start to final crown. The timing depends on healing and whether any supporting procedures are needed.
- Consultation and planning (3D scan if needed)
- Implant placement
- Healing (the implant integrates with bone)
- Final crown fitted and bite checked
Can it be done in one day?
Sometimes, yes. If your bone and gum conditions allow, we may be able to place the implant and provide a temporary tooth the same day (often called immediate loading). We’ll confirm what’s realistic at your consultation.
Implant vs bridge vs denture
| Feature | Implant | Bridge | Partial denture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Replaces the root | Yes | No | No |
| Fixed (doesn’t move) | Yes | Yes | No – removable |
| Affects neighbouring teeth | No | Yes – teeth either side are usually prepared | Can put some load on the teeth it clips to |
| Helps preserve jawbone | Yes | No | No |
| Easy to keep clean | Brush and clean between like a natural tooth | Needs cleaning under the bridge (floss threader or brush) | Take out to clean |
| Treatment time | Usually 3–6 months | A few weeks | A few weeks |
The right choice depends on your bone, gums, bite and the teeth either side. We’ll talk you through each option at your consultation.

I went to this dentist to have a consultation to see if they could finish off the work on my teeth which was done by an another dental clinic which went into liquidation after fitting my implants.
I found Rikki and Ana very courteous and knowledgeable about the work I needed doing. It was explained to me the positives and negatives about the different treatments on offer. I chose to have a full arch of teeth on my upper and a few teeth on the bottom. Although the implant surgery was done others , Rikki put my mind at rest and I gave them permission to go ahead.
The whole process was explained at each stage and the treatment went perfectly. I have now achieved my perfect smile and I am over the moon with the result. I thank Rikki ,Ana, and all the staff who are extremely polite and friendly and I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in having similar work.
