Why Choose Single Dental Implants
A missing tooth affects more than the gap. You might chew on one side, avoid smiling in photos, or notice the teeth either side starting to tilt. A dental implant replaces the whole tooth, root and crown, so it feels solid when you bite and looks like it has always been there.
A single dental implant replaces the root and crown of a missing tooth, restoring both function and confidence, without relying on neighbouring teeth.
- Natural-looking tooth implant designed to blend seamlessly
- Fixed in place, no slipping or removal
- Protects healthy teeth around the gap
- Long-lasting solution with proper care

Single Dental Implants
The Treatment
What to expect
Your dental implant journey is carefully guided from your first visit. The dental implant procedure involves gentle placement of the implant, followed by a healing period that allows it to bond securely with the bone.
Once healing is complete, your custom-made crown is fitted and adjusted for comfort, function, and appearance. You will always know what to expect and what comes next.

Is a Single Dental Implant Right for You?
Most adults with a missing tooth can have an implant. Your gums need to be healthy, and there needs to be enough bone to hold it, which your scans will show. Smoking raises the risk of an implant failing, so we’ll talk about that honestly too. Your consultation is relaxed, with no pressure to go ahead, and you’ll leave with a written plan and price.

Your questions answered
A single tooth implant at Harwood Dental Care starts from £3,000. You’ll get a written price after your consultation, before any treatment starts, and finance is available to spread the cost.
It depends on your teeth. A bridge is quicker and doesn’t need surgery, but the teeth either side of the gap have to be filed down to hold it. An implant leaves those teeth alone and replaces the root as well as the tooth, but it takes a few months. We’ll explain both at your consultation.
The implant goes in under local anaesthetic, so you’ll feel pressure but not pain. Most people have some tenderness or swelling for a few days afterwards, and we’ll tell you how to manage it.
Yes. Dental implants are a well-established treatment, used for decades. Careful planning from scans, healthy gums and good cleaning afterwards are what keep the risk of problems low.
With good cleaning and regular check-ups, many years. Smoking and gum disease are the two things most likely to shorten that, which is why we check the gums around your implant at every routine visit.
Most people are back to their normal routine within a day or two. Stick to soft food for the first few days while it settles. The implant keeps bonding with the bone over the following months.
Yes. Dental implants are commonly used to replace molar teeth at the back of the mouth. They provide strong support for chewing.
Often, yes, but smoking raises the risk of an implant failing, and the more you smoke, the higher the risk. We’ll talk it through honestly and support you if you want to cut down or stop first.
It’s the small connector that joins the implant in your jaw to the crown you see. It’s usually fitted once the implant has healed.
Yes. A soft diet is usually recommended during the early healing stage to protect the implant site and support recovery.
Good brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are essential parts of dental implant aftercare. We provide clear guidance to help you care for your implant.
Feeling nervous is completely normal. Our team is experienced in caring for anxious patients and will take things at your pace.
