Are you finding it difficult to chew or smile confidently because of a missing tooth?
A single tooth implant is the gold standard option to replace a missing tooth. This tooth replacement option offers exceptional stability, functionality, and aesthetics, without affecting neighbouring teeth.
To replace a missing tooth with an implant, a titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as the root for the replacement crown.
Natural tooth pigmentation
Natural teeth have unique characteristics that it can be challenging to replicate in replacement teeth such as this white patch in the left front tooth.
Gum position
When you have a tooth extracted your gum and underlying bone starts to change, this needs to be considered to ensure your new tooth looks natural.
Guide bone regeneration
If you’re missing bone or need extra support, we can provide guided bone regeneration to help build up the bone where it’s needed.
Sinus lift
Your sinuses are little pockets of air in your skull next to your nose. They’re right above where your upper back teeth used to be. If there’s not enough bone there, we might need to complete a sinus lift to make more room for successful implant treatment

Comprehensive clinical consultation
Meet with our implantologist, Dr Robin Hanna, for a comprehensive assessment. We’ll take a close look at your mouth, teeth, and gums to see if implants are right for you. This might involve X-rays, photos, CT scans to make a detailed plan.
Careful planning
We’ll plan exactly where the implants will go to make sure they look and work their best. This helps us avoid surprises later on and gives you a clear picture of what to expect, including any extra treatments you might need and how much everything will cost.
Take your time to think it over and ask any questions you have.
Surgery day
On the big day, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and numb before we start. We might need to remove teeth or do minor bone adjustments. If everything goes well, we can put in the implant itself and we might even be able to give you a temporary tooth right away.
Your new tooth
Once the implant is strong and stable, we’ll fit your custom-made permanent tooth. It’s designed to fit perfectly and look great, so you can enjoy your new smile for years to come.
