Losing a single tooth might seem like a small issue, but it can have a big impact on your smile, confidence, and oral health. Even one missing tooth can affect the way you eat, speak, and feel about your appearance.
At Dream Smiles Dental in Bolton, we offer single dental implants – a permanent, natural-looking solution to restore your smile and protect your oral health for the long term.
What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single tooth implant is a titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once it’s securely placed into the jawbone, it fuses naturally with the bone to provide a strong foundation for a custom-made dental crown.
Unlike bridges or dentures, which rest on top of the gums or rely on neighbouring teeth for support, a single implant acts as a standalone tooth replacement – both structurally and aesthetically.
Why Replace a Missing Tooth?
Many patients are surprised to learn that leaving a gap can lead to long-term dental problems. When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth can start to drift, leading to misalignment and bite issues. Additionally, the jawbone beneath the gap can begin to shrink, affecting the shape of your face.
Replacing a lost tooth with an implant helps to:
Prevent teeth from shifting out of position.
Maintain jawbone strength and facial structure.
Restore your bite and chewing ability.
Improve your confidence and overall wellbeing.
The Benefits of Single Tooth Implants
Choosing an implant to replace one missing tooth offers several advantages:
Natural appearance – your new crown is colour-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Long-lasting solution – with proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Preserves bone health – implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
No impact on neighbouring teeth – unlike bridges, implants don’t require filing down adjacent teeth.
Comfort and stability – no slipping or discomfort, just a secure, natural feel.
Once fitted, you’ll be able to eat, speak, and smile just as you did before – often forgetting you ever lost a tooth at all.
What to Expect from the Treatment
Consultation – we’ll assess your oral health and take digital scans to determine if you’re suitable for an implant.
Placement – the implant is gently positioned in your jaw under local anaesthetic for maximum comfort.
Healing period – over the next few months, the implant fuses securely with your jawbone.
Restoration – a bespoke porcelain crown is attached, completing your smile.
At Dream Smiles Dental, every implant treatment is tailored to your specific needs to ensure the best results.
Caring for Your Single Implant
Maintaining your implant is just like caring for your natural teeth:
Brush and floss daily.
Attend regular dental check-ups and hygienist visits.
Avoid using your teeth to open packaging or bite hard objects.
With good care, your implant can last for decades.
