A long term solution for replacing a missing tooth
A single dental implant is the most advanced way to replace one missing tooth, restoring natural function, appearance and long term oral health.
At Stella Dental, dental implant treatment is carefully planned and clinician led. Every case begins with a full clinical assessment, 3d scans and simulations, and all relevant x-rays so we can recommend the most appropriate option for your smile, comfort and long term wellbeing.
Our approach prioritises precision, transparency and thoughtful care, never rushed decisions.

What Is a Single Tooth Dental Implant?
A single tooth dental implant replaces both the missing tooth and its root, helping restore strength, appearance and stability.
It consists of three parts:
• Titanium or Ceramic implant: a small medical grade post placed in the jawbone to act as the artificial root
• Abutment: the connector that links the implant to the crown
• Custom crown: a carefully designed ceramic tooth that blends naturally with your smile
Once healed, the implant becomes securely integrated with the jawbone, allowing it to function like a natural tooth.
Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require trimming neighbouring teeth, helping preserve the natural structure of your smile.
With proper care, dental implants can provide decades of stability, comfort and confidence.
Who May Benefit From Single Tooth Dental Implants?
Single Tooth implants may be suitable if you:
- Have one missing tooth or a tooth that needs replacing
- Want a fixed solution that does not rely on neighbouring teeth
- Feel self conscious about a gap in your smile
- Struggle with chewing or bite balance

FAQs
Does dental implant treatment hurt?
No, most patients find the procedure much more comfortable than they anticipated.
We use precise local anaesthesia to completely numb the area before we begin, ensuring you feel no pain during the treatment itself. Many patients describe the sensation as mild pressure.
How long does a single implant last?
With excellent oral hygiene and regular check-ups, a dental implant is designed to be a lifelong solution.
Unlike bridges or dentures, which may need replacing every 5–10 years, an implant integrates directly with your jawbone. This creates a permanent, rock-solid foundation for your new tooth.
Can anyone have a dental implant?
Most adults with a healthy mouth and good general health are excellent candidates for dental implants.
While age is rarely a barrier, we do require that your jawbone has finished growing (typically around age 18–21). Our primary goal is to ensure you have a strong foundation for a successful, lifelong result.
Is bone grafting always required?
No—bone grafting is only necessary if your jawbone lacks the volume or density to support an implant.
Think of the bone as the "foundation" for a house. If the foundation is too thin or soft, we simply reinforce it to ensure your implant remains stable and functional for a lifetime.
How do I care for my implant?
Caring for an implant is simple: treat it with the same care and attention as your natural teeth.
While the implant itself is made of titanium and cannot decay, the surrounding gums and bone still need protection. Maintaining a clean environment is the best way to ensure your implant lasts a lifetime.
Will the implant crown match my other teeth?
Yes. Your new tooth is custom-crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
We don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to aesthetics. Our goal is for no one to be able to tell which tooth is the implant.
How many appointments are needed?
Most patients require between 3 and 4 appointments to complete their dental implant journey.
Because we prioritise long-term success, the process is phased to allow your body time to heal and integrate with the new implant.
Can I eat normally afterwards?
Yes - once your implant has fully healed, you can enjoy all your favourite foods without restriction.
Unlike removable dentures, which can slip or limit your biting force, a dental implant is anchored directly into the jawbone. This restores 100% of your natural chewing power, allowing you to eat with total confidence.
