Single Dental Implants

Single Dental Implants in Lancaster – A Natural, Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

If you have a missing tooth, a single dental implant is a modern, long-lasting alternative to traditional bridges or removable dentures. At Viva Dental in Carnforth, Lancashire, we offer expertly placed implant restorations that restore the appearance and function of your natural tooth—without affecting the surrounding teeth.

Single dental implants are crafted to blend seamlessly with your existing smile. They consist of a small titanium post, surgically placed in the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a natural-looking crown is attached to complete the restoration.

Benefits of Single Dental Implants at Viva Dental:

Designed to look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth
Colour-matched for a seamless, aesthetic result
Stable and secure—no movement or slipping
Prevents jawbone deterioration caused by missing teeth
Helps maintain your natural bite and overall facial structure

Unlike bridges, single implants don’t require altering neighbouring teeth, preserving your natural tooth structure. They also help stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and supporting your long-term oral health.

If you’re missing one tooth and want a permanent, comfortable, and attractive solution, a single dental implant from Viva Dental could be the ideal choice.

FAQ's

Do dental implants look like natural teeth?

Dental implants are designed to closely resemble natural teeth, both in appearance and function. The colour and shape of the crown can be customised to match the surrounding teeth.
Do dental implants feel like natural teeth?

As the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, it provides a stable foundation for a crown or bridge to be attached. This stability allows for a natural biting and chewing sensation, making them a comfortable option for tooth replacement.
Is it worth replacing one single tooth with a dental implant?

Yes, it is absolutely worth replacing one single tooth with a dental implant. Dental implants are considered to be the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They provide a permanent solution that not only restores the appearance of a natural tooth but also functions like one.
Does it hurt to have a dental implant fitted?

Our dentist will numb the area where the implant will be placed, ensuring that you feel little to no discomfort during the process.
How many artificial teeth can a single dental implant support?

A single dental implant can support 3 or 4 teeth on a dental bridge, although whether this will be possible in your case depends on the location of the missing teeth, the quality of your jawbone, and your overall oral health. We’ll be able to give you more relevant information to you during your initial consultation with us.
How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants can last a lifetime if you look after the implant, and your oral health.

Fantastic

“I had an accident at work with a coffee table and ended up damaging 3 of my front teeth. I was able to be seen the same day at Viva dental and given a thorough examination. They were absolutely fantastic and really put my mind to rest. I have been back for a further visit since my initial visit and I’m glad to say that you really can’t tell that there has been any damage to my teeth. I can’t sing the praises of Dr Sabeti high enough. Thank you.”
