That’s why we offer, and often recommend single tooth dental implants to our patients with a missing or soon to be extracted tooth.
A single tooth dental implant can be used to replace a missing tooth, or a tooth that needs to be extracted due to injury, damage or decay. Using a metal screw to act as the new ‘root’ of the tooth, a single tooth dental implant is made up of the implant itself, and the prosthetic tooth that sits atop it.
The implant itself – which acts as the new root for the tooth – is usually made of a metal called titanium. It is extremely durable and provides a secure and stable foundation for the prosthetic tooth.
Getting a single tooth dental implant usually takes a few months, and will be carried out over at least two appointments. We will first have to ascertain that your jaw is healthy enough to receive the implant. Once this has been done, you will be fitted for the implant here at the practice, after which we will allow the implant and jawbone to successfully fuse together before applying the new tooth.

“Had a very professional hygiene session done by lovely Magdalena. She made me feel at ease and the whole treatment was completely painless. My teeth are so clean and shiny, I can't stop smiling!”
“From beginning to end, my experience with Battersea Smiles has been great. Marisa, Eva and the whole team are a delight and make you feel very looked after and in good hands. The Invisalign treatment has worked wonders for me and I don't think I could have made a better choice than Battersea Smiles to do it with. Highly recommend.”
“From my initial virtual consultation in September 2020 with Marissa through to my final Invisalign appointment. Marissa, Eva and the whole team have been beyond amazing. The team are not just professional (my teeth look beautiful), but make you feel so welcome and build such great rapport with their patients. They keep you so well informed throughout your treatment and really appreciate them being honest with additional treatments that may not be suitable (to ultimately stop you from wasting money). I could not recommend this clinic enough and will continue my treatments here for the foreseeable future! Thank you so much!”
