FAQs

What is a single tooth implant?

Single tooth implants replace individual teeth. They are fixed in place and replace the whole of a tooth’s root, and a crown is placed over the top, providing the capacity to chew and smile.

What is the cost of the single tooth implant?

Is single tooth implant procedure painful?

Our single tooth implant procedure is generally painless, thanks to the use of local anesthesia, which fully numbs the area.

During the procedure, most of our patients feel only minimal pressure. Once the anesthesia wears off, mild discomfort or soreness is typical but can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Many patients at Knighton Dental in Leicester find that post-procedure discomfort is milder than expected.

How do I care for a single tooth implant?

To care for a single tooth implant, treat it like a natural tooth with a few extra precautions:

Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Clean gently around the implant crown and gum line.
Floss daily or use interdental brushes/water flossers to remove plaque.
Avoid very hard or sticky foods that may damage the crown.
Visit your dentist every six months for check-ups and professional cleaning.

With good hygiene and regular care, a single tooth implant can last decades and look and feel just like a natural tooth.

What are the alternatives to a single tooth implant?

The main alternatives to a single tooth implant are:

Dental bridge – a false tooth held in place by crowns attached to neighbouring teeth.
Removable partial denture – a plate with one or more replacement teeth that can be taken out for cleaning.

While both options restore appearance and function, only an implant replaces the tooth root, helping to maintain jawbone strength and long-term oral health.
