Replace A Lost Tooth With Amazing Dentists In Sussex

A dental implant will be your best option to replace a single lost tooth, whether you lost it to decay, gum disease, or injury. Dental implants can last a lifetime and are the closest replica to natural teeth that prosthetic dentistry can offer. More than one missing tooth? Explore multiple implants instead.

A single dental implant at The Smile Gallery in East Grinstead will cost £2,500 – with the option to spread the cost over 12 (0% interest), 24, 36, 48 and 60 months. The best place to start is a dental implant consultation, which costs £120 but is redeemable from your final treatment bill if you decide to pursue the surgery.

The Facts

Dental Implants In A Nutshell

Dental implants are incredible devices that replace missing teeth in a way that replicates natural, existing teeth. See all solutions.

Constructed from titanium, the dental implant is highly durable with superior strength and fuses to your jawbone to act like a natural tooth root would.

*To be a candidate for single implants, you must have healthy gums, adequate bone in the jaw, and strong oral hygiene habits.

How A Dental Implant Will Work

Your implant is made up of three parts:

  1. The implant – which is positioned carefully into the jaw.
  2. The abutment – an attachment which connects the implant to the final restoration.
  3. The crown – made from porcelain and designed to match existing teeth is attached to the abutment.

Dental implants get their superior strength by physically integrating with the jaw bone, making them a permanent attachment that has a rare likelihood of ever moving.

As the implant acts like an artificial tooth root, patients can benefit further as it will preserve the bone in the jaw, preventing it from breaking down.

Timelines

Placing A Single Implant

The surgery itself is relatively simple and completed in an hour.

Sedation options are available for particularly anxious patients, who, under IV sedation, will remain completely conscious but have no memory of the procedure.

How Long For A Restored Smile?

After the implant is placed, patients must wait for the implant to fully fuse with the bone, which can take up to three months with a healing process called osseointegration. Once this period has passed, the final restoration, typically a crown, is screwed on tight, and you’re ready to go.

Choose The Right Solution

Alternatives To Single Implants

  • A dental bridge (from £950) can replace a missing tooth if healthy teeth exist on either side of the gap. However, these teeth must be filed down and replaced with crowns for this procedure to work.
  • Partial dentures (from £425) are the cheapest option for single-tooth loss. However, they have some downsides, such as needing frequent replacement or repairs, relying on metal clasps and encouraging bone loss, which can cause further tooth loss.
