About Single Tooth Replacement

A single dental implant is a long-term solution for replacing one missing tooth. Unlike other single tooth replacement options, such as bridges or dentures, a dental implant for one tooth does not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. This helps preserve natural tooth structure while preserving bone health in the jaw. With this treatment:

  • A single implant replaces one missing tooth independently
  • The implant integrates with the jawbone for stability
  • A natural-looking crown completes the restoration

 

Single tooth implant procedures at Perfect Smile are one of the most effective and durable single-tooth replacement solutions available, restoring function and appearance without compromise.

Clinical Expertise Precision Implant Placement

Single tooth replacement is commonly recommended for patients experiencing a missing tooth, a severely damaged/broken tooth, or discomfort while chewing due to tooth loss. Placement requires accuracy, planning and knowledge of bone structure.

At Perfect Smile, each case starts with an assessment of bone quality, gum health, and ideal implant position. Advanced 3D imaging helps our clinicians plan the implant depth and angle before surgery. That way, the dental implant of one tooth is secured without putting unnecessary stress on adjacent teeth or tissues, and with good long-term stability.

The implant fits in with the jawbone and provides the foundation for the final crown. This precision allows one tooth implant to restore chewing function while preserving the shape and strength of the surrounding bone.

Proven Single Implant Results

7000+ single dental implants placed across our clinics, with a strong focus on precision and natural-looking results. Each single tooth implant is carefully planned to ensure accurate placement, long-term stability, and seamless integration with your existing teeth.

BChD, MFDCRCS, Cert Impl

Dr Fareed Khan graduated from Leeds University and has always had a special interest in Temporo-mandibular Joint Dysfunction. He had a paper published on this subject whilst still a student.

After graduating, he spent a couple of years in a Dental Practice but then was resident in hospitals studying Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for 3 years. Fareed then went to the USA for 2 years and studied Maxillofacial Radiology and Cranio-Facial Imaging.

Since then he has worked in our Putney practice and spent 5 years part-time at Eastman Dental Hospital studying Dental Implantology.
He has a special interest in the relationship of the Dental Occlusion to the position of the lower Jaw and the effects this may have on the TMJs and associated structures.

Fareed believes that the bite can affect the jaw position and place strain on the TMJs and jaw muscles, and therefore he has developed a protocol to realign the teeth and repair worn down teeth and replace missing teeth to help support the jaw in its natural position. Many patients have reported reduction in their TMJ and jaw muscle symptoms after this rehabilitation.

He is happy to accept private referrals for patients with these symptoms and offers consultations.
Dr Khan is now studying digital dentistry and believes the future of Dentistry is a holistic approach with the aim of healthy teeth and jaws. He also believes form and function go together so usually the most healthy position of the teeth is also the most aesthetic.

In his spare time he likes to train in his personal gym and spend time with his family.

Implant Timeline What to Expect

A single implant procedure is straightforward, but healing is essential for long-term success.

Implant Placement
The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone during a short procedure. In some cases, a temporary solution may be provided while healing begins.

Healing Phase (3–4 Months)
During this stage, the implant integrates with the bone through osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable base for the final restoration.

Final Crown Placement
Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown is attached. This completes the single tooth replacement, restoring both function and appearance. With proper care, a single dental implant can provide long-lasting results and support everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mask Group 5

A single dental implant is often considered the most reliable long-term single tooth replacement option. Unlike bridges, it does not affect adjacent teeth and helps preserve bone structure. While the initial price of one tooth implant may be higher, it typically offers better durability and function, making it a cost-effective solution over time.

Most patients are suitable for a dental implant for one tooth, provided they have sufficient bone and healthy gums. Even if bone density is reduced, modern techniques may still allow treatment. A full clinical assessment with 3D imaging helps determine whether a single tooth implant is the right solution for your specific case.

Yes, a single tooth implant is designed to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and colour. The final crown is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your smile, making it one of the most aesthetic single tooth replacement solutions available. Most people will not be able to tell the difference between the implant and your natural teeth.

Most standard health insurance policies view this as a cosmetic upgrade. However, if the tooth loss resulted from trauma, certain premium dental plans might contribute toward the treatment. We provide all the necessary breakdown receipts for your claim.

Often, yes. If the failing tooth has no active infection and the surrounding bone is thick enough, we can perform an immediate placement. We extract the bad tooth and insert the titanium post during the same surgical appointment.

Genuine allergic rejection of medical-grade titanium is incredibly rare. The human body naturally accepts the material. The primary cause of a root failing to integrate is usually poor oral hygiene or heavy smoking during the critical healing phase.
