Dental Implants
Replace Your Missing Tooth with a Natural-Looking Dental Implant
Missing a single tooth can affect more than just your smile. It can make eating more difficult, affect your confidence and, over time, lead to changes in your bite and jawbone.
A single dental implant is a long-lasting solution that replaces both the missing tooth and its root, creating a natural-looking result that feels secure and functions just like your own tooth.
At Shenstone Dental Centre, single dental implant treatment is provided in-house by Dr Andrew Nesbitt and Dr Jason Ho, using advanced CBCT scanning and digital implant planning for precise, predictable results.

- You want to avoid a removable denture.

- You are looking for a long-term replacement that looks and feels natural.

Am I suitable for a single dental implant?
Most adults with one missing tooth are suitable for a dental implant. During your consultation, we'll assess your oral health, take a CBCT scan if required, and discuss the most suitable treatment options for you.
How long does a single dental implant take?
Treatment times vary depending on your individual needs. In most cases, the implant is placed first and allowed to heal before your final crown is fitted. We'll explain your personalised treatment timeline during your consultation.
Will my dental implant look like a natural tooth
Yes. Your implant crown is custom-made to match the colour, shape and size of your natural teeth, creating a result that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Is dental implant treatment painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should remain comfortable throughout. Most patients describe any discomfort afterwards as mild and manageable. For nervous patients, sedation is also available.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last for many years. Looking after your gums and attending routine hygiene appointments are essential for long-term success.
Why choose a dental implant instead of a bridge?
Unlike a dental bridge, a single dental implant replaces the missing tooth without relying on or altering the neighbouring healthy teeth. It also helps preserve the jawbone and provides a natural-looking, long-lasting solution.
How much does a single dental implant cost?
The cost depends on your individual treatment plan. Following your consultation, we'll provide a detailed quotation and explain all available treatment options and payment plans.
Who will carry out my treatment?
Single dental implant treatment is provided by Dr Andrew Nesbitt or Dr Jason Ho using advanced CBCT scanning and digital planning to deliver precise, predictable results.
