What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single tooth implant replaces both the root and crown of a missing tooth. The titanium implant acts as an artificial root, while the custom-made crown restores the visible part of the tooth, delivering excellent strength, function and appearance.
If you have lost a single tooth and are looking for a strong, long-lasting and natural-looking replacement, a single tooth dental implant is an excellent solution. At Fitzroy Dental Practice, we use high-quality titanium implants, which bond securely with the jawbone to provide exceptional stability and durability.
Dental implants are designed to look, feel and function like natural teeth. Once placed, the implant becomes firmly integrated into the jawbone, meaning it will not slip or move and does not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. A single tooth implant can be placed anywhere in the mouth and is carefully colour-matched to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.

Your Implant Treatment Journey
1. Initial Assessment & Planning
Before treatment begins, we assess the quality and quantity of your jawbone to ensure it can support the implant. This may involve X-rays or a CT scan to plan the procedure precisely.
2. Implant Placement
If you are suitable, impressions of your teeth are taken to design your bespoke replacement tooth. The dentist gently makes a small incision in the gum and places the titanium implant into the jawbone. A stitch may be used to aid healing.
3. Healing Phase
The implant requires time to integrate with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. During this period, a temporary tooth may be fitted so you can smile and function comfortably.
4. Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, your permanent crown is securely attached to the implant. The result is a strong, natural-looking tooth that blends perfectly with your smile.
