Single implants cost from £2,800 (inclusive)
A single dental implant is the best way to replace a single missing front or back tooth, compared with alternatives such as dental bridges or partial dentures. This is because a single dental implant doesn't just fill the gap in your smile; it replaces the tooth root, helping keep the bone in your jaw strong and healthy and preventing further tooth loss and movement down the line.
Single dental implants are recommended when a tooth has already been lost or needs to be removed (extraction and placement possible on the same day, depending on suitability), restoring your oral foundation as well as your appearance, speech, and bite strength in as little as one appointment.
Most individuals with healthy gums and adequate bone structure are good candidates for dental implants. However, conditions such as diabetes, smoking, and certain medications can affect the success of the implants.
A thorough assessment by our implant dentist in London will determine the best course of action for your specific needs.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment, including 3D CBCT scans and an oral health review. From this, we create and share a detailed digital treatment plan that outlines all your options and breaks down costs and financing options.
On the day of surgery, a small opening is made in the gum, and the implant is gently placed. Our implant procedures use advanced keyhole techniques, making treatment minimally invasive with less discomfort, faster healing, and reduced downtime.
The implant then needs time to heal and bond with the bone (a process called osseointegration), which usually takes 3 months to complete. Temporary teeth can be provided during this time.
Once the implant has fully healed and fused with the bone, we take a new scan to create a custom dental crown that blends naturally with the rest of your smile. A few weeks later, the crown is fitted securely to the implant, completing your treatment.
Treatment is carried out in-house and chairside by Dr Amenien, a Master of Implantology with extensive postgraduate training and over 22 years of experience in implant dentistry.
When a tooth is lost, the teeth next to the gap often tilt into the space, and the opposite tooth can grow longer into it. Over time, this can upset your bite, weaken the area, and complicate future treatment. The bone around the missing tooth also begins to shrink, which may later require extra grafting procedures. That’s why the best time to replace a missing tooth is right at the time of extraction, or soon after, to protect the bone and keep your smile healthy and stable.
Acting early means simpler treatment, fewer problems, and a stronger, longer-lasting result.
Pro: Fixed, stable, and natural-looking.
Con: Requires filing down healthy teeth. Not as long-lasting.
Pro: Affordable, no surgery, and easy to repair.
Con: Removable & less stable than fixed options. Requires frequent replacement & adjustment.
Pro: Minimally invasive, little effect on nearby teeth.
Con: Less durable, often temporary, not suitable everywhere.
Pro: No treatment or cost upfront.
Con: Teeth may shift, bite/jaw problems, and risk of bone loss.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It’s gently placed under local anaesthetic and bonds naturally with your jawbone over a few months. Once healed, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore your smile.
Implants are strong, natural-looking, and long-lasting, but like natural teeth, they need regular cleaning and check-ups to stay healthy.
With good care, implants can last decades (up to 30 years). Many patients keep them for life.
Most healthy adults are suitable. We’ll assess your bone levels, gums, and general health during your consultation.
In many cases, we can use grafting techniques or alternative implant types to avoid or minimise the need for grafting.
Single dental implants cost from £2,800 (including the implant, surgery, abutment and crown). Costs vary depending on your case. We’ll provide a clear, personalised quote after your consultation.
The implant is usually placed in one visit, with healing taking around 8–12 weeks before the final crown is fitted.
Yes, your crown is custom-made to match the shape, colour, and size of your surrounding teeth.
Missing teeth affect not only your smile but also your ability to eat and speak comfortably. Gaps can cause nearby teeth to tilt or over-erupt, making future treatment more complex and potentially leading to further tooth loss.
Dental implants are the most natural and long-lasting solution; they prevent bone loss, protect healthy teeth, and restore your full smile and confidence.
An immediate dental implant is placed right after a tooth is removed, during the same appointment. This means you don’t need to wait for the area to heal before getting your implant. In some cases, a temporary crown can be fitted straight away, so you leave with a complete smile the same day.
Nearly any missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant, provided there is enough healthy bone in the jaw. Your dentist will assess bone quality and quantity during your consultation. If there isn’t sufficient bone, grafting or regeneration procedures (such as sinus lift or ridge preservation) can help create a strong foundation for the implant.
Placing an implant soon after extraction, when suitable, often helps preserve bone and simplify treatment.
Once a tooth is lost, the bone and gum will begin to recede. If you later decide to have an implant fitted, it may mean that the implant would sit too high or the crown would sit too low without a bone graft. This can be prevented in many cases by ridge preservation & proper techniques at the time of extraction, which minimise bone shrinkage & changes after extraction.
