A single tooth implant is a reliable way to replace one missing tooth without affecting the surrounding healthy teeth. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root, supporting a custom-made crown that is designed to look and feel natural.
At Regency House Dental Clinic, we carefully assess your smile, gums and jawbone before planning your treatment. Every implant is individually planned to provide a secure, comfortable and natural-looking replacement that helps restore your smile and everyday function.
The custom-made crown is designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth for a natural appearance.
Unlike a traditional bridge, a single implant does not require the neighbouring teeth to be prepared or reduced.
The implant is fixed securely into the jaw, giving you confidence when eating, speaking and smiling.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, a single tooth implant can provide a durable solution for a missing tooth.
