Single Tooth Dental Implants in Bromley
Building smiles one tooth at a time!
Single Tooth Dental Implants—an Overview
A single lost tooth might be a silent issue in an otherwise healthy smile. It can often have a considerable impact on your ability to chew comfortably, your speech, and your confidence in social situations. At Smile 4 U, we offer modern and effective single-tooth replacement options in Bromley to revive your smile and improve your quality of life. If you’ve lost a tooth due to an accident, decay, or any other reason, replacing a missing tooth with implants helps maintain the health and function of your gums and surrounding teeth.
Do You Need Single Tooth Dental Implants?
Implants can be placed to replace a lost front tooth to complete your natural. However, a missing back tooth might occasionally go unnoticed. Even though it could be tempting to ignore this invisible, missing tooth, doing so could result in more serious dental problems.
Here’s how a missing back tooth can affect your oral health:
- Problems with eating: Not having enough molars or other back teeth can make it hard to chew, which puts extra stress on the jaws and other teeth.
- Gum pain: If you lose a tooth, food could get stuck in the space left by it, causing soreness and swelling of the gums.
- Moving teeth: Over time, the teeth next to the gap may move, which can change the way you bite and how your teeth are aligned.
- Loss of bone: Not having a tooth can weaken the jawline over time.
You can replace a missing tooth with a single-tooth dental implant in Bromley, no matter where it is located in your mouth. We regularly provide consultations and single tooth dental implant treatments to patients from Shirley, New Eltham, Chislehurst, Coldharbour, Bickley, Orpington, Sidcup, Keston.

The implant works like a tooth root, strengthening and stimulating the jawbone and stopping bone loss.

Icrowns can stand on their own without taking the support of teeth next to them.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
Can you get just one tooth implant?
Yes, absolutely! If you have lost a single tooth, a dental implant can be an excellent way to replace it. A single-tooth implant is intended to fit perfectly in the space where your natural tooth once resided, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile.
How painful is a single-tooth implant?
The majority of patients report only minor discomfort during the single-tooth implant procedure. We use local anaesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a painless procedure.
How long does it take to get 1 tooth implant?
Most of the time, getting a single tooth implant takes three to four visits spread out over a few months. The first step is to put in the implant, which can take anywhere from one to two hours, based on your case. After the tooth has fully healed, the implant crown is fixed. This usually takes an extra one to two weeks.
The Treatment Process
The process of getting a dental implant is straightforward and designed to be as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial consultation
We begin with a thorough examination of your teeth and oral health and discuss your treatment goals to create a personalised treatment plan and explain the procedure.
Implant placement
We ensure painless single-tooth dental implants in Bromley—the procedure is done with local anaesthesia; we place a temporary implant crown right away to make your smile look perfect.
Single-implant crowns
After the implant fuses with your jawbone, a custom-made implant crown, which is colour-matched and mimics the shape and size of your natural teeth, will be placed.
