This is more than dentistry

It is just one tooth. But it changes everything.

You know the feeling. The gap you run your tongue over a hundred times a day. The way you tilt your head in photos. The food you avoid because chewing on one side has become second nature.

A single dental implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone, topped with a custom porcelain crown that matches your surrounding teeth in shape, shade and size. It looks natural. It feels natural. And unlike a bridge, it preserves the healthy teeth either side of the gap.

20+ Year lifespan

Precision and care in equal measure

Why patients trust us with their smile

Replacing a single tooth requires the same level of precision as any complex procedure. We treat every case with that standard.

Precision placement

Every implant is planned digitally before surgery begins. 3D scans and guided placement mean your new tooth sits exactly where it should, first time.

Invisible results

Your crown is custom-made to match the colour, shape and translucency of your natural teeth. Nobody will know which tooth is the implant.

Protects your other teeth

Unlike a bridge, a single implant does not require grinding down the teeth on either side. Your healthy teeth stay untouched.

Your implant journey

Three steps to a complete smile

Replacing a single tooth is one of the most straightforward procedures in implant dentistry. Here is what to expect.

Consultation

We assess your oral health, take 3D scans of the gap and surrounding teeth, and confirm you are a suitable candidate. You leave with a clear treatment plan and cost. No obligation.

Implant placement

The titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. The procedure typically takes under an hour. A temporary crown may be fitted while the implant integrates with the bone over the following weeks.

Permanent crown

Once the implant has fully integrated, your custom porcelain crown is fitted. Colour-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, it looks and functions exactly like the tooth you lost.

Patient stories

Real people, real results

The best measure of our work is not what we say. It is what our patients say.

"I had a gap at the front for two years and hated smiling. The implant looks completely natural. I forget it is even there."

Sarah, Manchester

Single tooth implant

"I broke a molar and was dreading the process. It was genuinely easier than having a filling. I can chew properly again for the first time in months."

James, Bolton

Single tooth implant

"My dentist elsewhere suggested a bridge but I did not want to damage two healthy teeth. Dream Smiles Dental fitted a single implant and the result is flawless."

Priya, Leeds

Your quality of life, restored

Why a single implant beats every alternative

A bridge sacrifices healthy teeth. A denture moves when you eat. An implant does neither. It is the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back.

Your questions, answered

Single implant FAQs

Here are the questions we hear most often from patients considering a single tooth implant.

A single tooth implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone where the root of your missing tooth used to be. Once it has integrated with the bone, a custom porcelain crown is attached. The result looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.

In most cases, yes. A bridge requires the teeth on either side of the gap to be filed down to support the replacement. An implant stands alone, leaving your healthy teeth completely untouched. It also preserves the jawbone, which a bridge does not.

Most single implant procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic and patients report very little discomfort. Many tell us it was easier than having a tooth extracted. Sedation is available if you would prefer it.

The implant placement itself typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bone then needs 8 to 16 weeks to fully integrate with the implant before the permanent crown is fitted. A temporary tooth can be worn during this healing period.

The titanium post can last a lifetime with proper care. The porcelain crown typically lasts 15 to 25 years before it may need replacing. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are the best way to maximise the lifespan of your implant.

Yes. We offer flexible finance plans including interest-free options for qualifying patients. Your patient care coordinator will discuss all available options during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
