Introducing Single-Tooth Implants
Losing just one tooth may seem minor, but it can influence how you eat, speak and feel about your smile. At Boxmoor House Dental Practice in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, we provide single-tooth dental implants as a reliable way to restore both comfort and appearance. Designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth, single-tooth implants not only fill the gap but also support long-term oral health, helping you maintain confidence and function in your everyday life.
Understanding Single-Tooth Dental Implants
A single-tooth implant is a precise and long-lasting way to replace a missing tooth. At our practice, the treatment begins with placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, where it naturally fuses over time to create a strong, secure foundation. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, carefully crafted to match the colour, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. This not only restores appearance but also protects jawbone health and maintains natural function.

Why Choose Single-Tooth Implants?
Seamless appearance
The single-tooth implant crown is carefully shaped and coloured to match your natural teeth, creating a uniform and realistic smile.
Reliable and durable
With proper care, a single-tooth implant can offer a long-lasting solution that you can depend on, unlike traditional bridges or removable options.
Supports jawbone health
Placed directly into the jaw, the implant helps maintain bone strength and prevents the shrinkage or deterioration that can occur after tooth loss.
Gentle on neighbouring teeth
Single-tooth implants do not require support from adjacent teeth, thereby helping to preserve the natural structure and integrity of the surrounding teeth.
Restores confidence
Eating, speaking, and smiling become comfortable and natural again, reassuring you in daily life.
