Single tooth implants in Lancaster
One missing tooth doesn’t have to change your smile
Be you again.
A single tooth implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up. It stands on its own, so the healthy teeth either side are left untouched.

How it works
Three steps to your new tooth
1Consultation and plan
We take time to understand you, then use x-rays and 3D scans to plan your implant. Your options, timescale and investment are explained clearly before anything begins.
2Your implant is placed
Pinar or Jonathan carefully places a titanium implant in the jaw to replace the original root. Over the next 3 to 6 months the implant bonds with your jawbone. We check in along the way, so you always feel supported.
3Your new tooth
Once healed, a crown is securely attached. It is individually crafted and shaded to blend with your natural teeth.
Why implants
More than filling a gap
Replacing a missing tooth looks after the rest of your smile too.
Looks and feels natural
Your crown is shaped and shaded to sit comfortably alongside your own teeth.
Kind to neighbouring teeth
The implant supports itself, so the teeth either side do not need to be reshaped.
Helps protect your jawbone
An implant replaces the root as well as the tooth, which helps to maintain the bone that a missing tooth leaves behind.
Your options
How a single implant compares
An implant is one of three ways to replace a missing tooth. Your dentist will explain all of them.
Bridge
Supported by the teeth either side, which usually need to be reshaped to carry it.
Denture
Removable and non-surgical, resting on the gum and clasped to the remaining teeth.
Implant
Replaces the root as well as the tooth, standing on its own without altering neighbouring teeth.
Suitability
Are you suitable for treatment?
Dental implants need healthy gums and enough jawbone to support them. At your consultation, Pinar or Jonathan will use x-rays and scans to check both, and explain clearly what they find.
Some patients see our hygiene team first, to make sure their gums are healthy before treatment begins. If there is not enough bone, you may need preparatory treatment such as bone grafting or a sinus lift before your implants are placed.
If another option would suit you better, we will explain why.

FAQs
It’s natural to have questions
How long does a single tooth implant take?
After your implant is placed it is usually left for 3 to 6 months to heal and bond with the jawbone before your crown is fitted. Your own timescale is explained at your consultation.
Will treatment hurt?
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb. Some soreness afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days.
Will my implant look natural?
Your crown is individually made and shaded to blend with your natural teeth.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular reviews, implants can last for many years. We will show you how to look after yours.
How much does a single tooth implant cost?
At Hest Bank Dental Care a single implant and crown starts from £2,800. Your own price is confirmed in writing after your assessment, and finance is available, subject to status.
