Eat, Laugh & Smile with Confidence
Replacing a Tooth
If you’ve lost a tooth, a dental implant restoration is the best-known solution to replace it. They can look and feel like the real thing and can help to restore your smile. If properly cared for, your dental implant can last for many years. As well as helping to fill the gap left by missing teeth, dental implants can benefit your overall oral health, by restoring strength, bite and natural function. Filling gaps also helps to preserve your healthy neighbouring teeth and the surrounding bone and tissue.
How Dental Implants Work
We know just how difficult it can be for patients who have lost a tooth or where the restoration options are limited due to the condition of the tooth, especially when it is a visible missing front tooth. Using single dental implants we can give you a fully functioning, natural-looking tooth. A dental implant replaces the entire tooth root, not just the tooth. By using a titanium screw placed into the jawbone. The implant is placed into the bone and once the implant is stable, a connecting component (or ‘abutment’) is fitted. This abutment is then used to attach a single crown, which acts as your new tooth.
Better Than Other Missing Teeth Solutions
The main difference between dental implants and other types of missing teeth replacements is because dental implants are anchored directly into the jaw, they become a permanent part of the mouth. For patients, it means that they can eat their favourite foods once again without restriction while rediscovering their previously hidden smile and social confidence. Dental implants cost more than alternative tooth replacement solutions like dental bridges or partial dentures. But that’s because dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution, which will last a long time. Other tooth replacement options will not last as long, or mimic natural teeth as beautifully.

Dental Implant FAQs
What are the consequences of living with missing teeth?
Aside from the appearance of gaps, the consequences of missing teeth on your dental health can be significant. Teeth can drift and move position in the mouth to make up for the missing teeth, resulting in a disrupted natural bite. This can lead to tension headaches as well as difficulties in brushing, leaving you susceptible to dental decay, gum disease or oral infections. Associated bone loss in the jaw can also occur during or just after tooth extraction, as well as natural shrinkage of bone in the area where a tooth once was. Fortunately, we carry out a range of advanced treatments here at one80 Dental, such as bone grafting, sinus augmentation or 3D bone regeneration treatment, to restabilise jaws.
How successful are dental implants?
We only use well researched, well respected and quality implant systems and components. Nobel Biocare and Straumann are our implant systems of choice, and we have been using them for many years.
Does the surgery hurt?
The procedures can be carried out using a local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Sedation is also available if you are concerned about any aspect of the surgery. Our team will take good care of you throughout your treatment and will listen to any worries or concerns you may have.
