Are you missing a tooth in your ‘visible’ smile? Or is there a gap in your back teeth?
Missing teeth can cause problems when eating, chewing or talking and look unsightly.
However, in most cases, they are easily fixed even if you have been told you do not have enough bone or need a sinus lift.

Do I Need A Single Implant?
Do you have:
- A lost, loose or heavily damaged tooth?
- A broken, cracked tooth experiencing heavy decay?
- A tooth that has been injured in an accident or sporting injury?
As missing teeth experts, we would be wrong not to advise you to visit our practice immediately.
Some people happily ignore gaps in their mouth, but a missing tooth is not all about aesthetics. There are several worrying consequences of ignoring a missing tooth.
One of them being further tooth loss. Gaps in between two teeth can cause teeth further gum recession and lead to another wobbly tooth that needs attention.
When you lose a tooth, pressure is put on the remaining teeth, and the jaw bone also loses vital bone mass that holds teeth firmly in position.
This is why facial contortions, wobbly teeth and tooth movement are common symptoms.

Affordable Dental Implants (UK Cost)
- 1 dental implant= £2,500 (including post and crown)
- £2,500 on dental finance over 12 months (0%) costs £208.33 per month.
- When not using finance, you would be expected to pay 50% upfront (£1,250) and the remaining 50% three months later (after the implant has healed).
- By parting paying, patients can pay a 50% deposit upfront and use the 12 months interest-free to pay the remaining £1,250 – charged at £104.16 per month.
A loan of £2,500.00 over 12 months would cost you £208.33 monthly at a representative 0.0% APR. The total amount of credit would be £2,500.00, to which we would add £0.00 (0.0% p.a.).
We treat more than 20 Implant patients a month
Whether you need an implant placed for single tooth loss or multiple tooth loss, the Maida Smiles cosmetic team can help ensure your implants blend flawlessly with existing teeth.
Implant Alternatives
There are alternative treatments we can investigate to replace single tooth loss, like bridgework or dentures.
Still, both have been found on decaying teeth, worsen the oral condition and be unflattering or uncomfortable.
And whilst dental implants might be the pricier option, considering the cost of replacing bridgework or broken dentures, a dental implant might be able to save you money in the long run.
Dental implants are considered an investment because they will keep your smile strong and healthy for many, many years to come – trust us when we tell you that you won’t find a better restorative solution.
Single Implant FAQs
The treatment length for dental implants can vary because it will depend on your unique case and the type of restoration or technique chosen.
Traditional tooth implants require a few months for the jawbone to integrate with the implant – however, depending on your case, we can opt for more modern techniques that shorten this timeframe.
However, in the most straightforward cases where a CBCT scan shows a good amount of bone, Dr Gutierres predicts that the healing time would be around three months and that the patient would be a good candidate for temporary teeth.
However, Dr Gutierres will break down the timings and explain all the details you need to know in your bespoke treatment plan.
One of our implant dentists, presumably Dr Gutierres, will position the titanium post deep into the jawbone so that it can act as a replica of natural tooth roots.
Once the titanium screw has had enough time to heal and fuse with the bone in your jaw (often 3-6 months), we will be at the stage where we can place the abutment and crown.
There are several options for the final restoration; we can offer implant-secured dentures or bridges. However, we recommend using porcelain crowns if you wish to achieve the most life-like results.
As pointed out above, tooth loss can hugely impact your life, from changing how you eat, to how you talk to even how your mouth moves.
More than this, tooth loss can be embarrassing for many, developing insecurities and low self-esteem around their smile.
But that’s not all missing teeth can affect – in the long run, missing teeth can affect the rest of your mouth and disturb its structure.
1. A missing tooth in the back of the mouth (molar) causes chewing problems that add more pressure or force to the remaining teeth, causing them to crack or weaken.
2. Untreated, missing teeth must overcompensate for the lost tooth, leading to tooth wear and fractures of the neighbouring teeth.
3. Missing front teeth impair and alter speech.
4. Surrounding bone in the jaw will begin to deplete. As bone does not regrow or regenerate, this makes you a complex case if you decide to pursue implant treatments in the future.
5. A lost tooth causes teeth to drift out of position. This movement will cause gaps between teeth and lead to plaque and tartar growing and developing into gum disease (an infection of the gums that cannot be cured easily, if at all).

But Why Dental Implants?
- Dentition remains intact
- Permanent and non-removable
- Neighbouring teeth require NO preparation
- The most durable solution available
There is no question of superiority regarding which will be the best tooth-replacement method.
Porcelain crown based dental implants are the most durable and advanced tooth loss solution available today. Cerec crowns are also available.
Did we mention that they are the most natural-looking tooth replacement when paired with dental crowns?
We match all new crowns to the colour of your existing teeth so, you can believe us when we say no one will notice.
But dental implants are not just superior in their application and aesthetics but also in promoting strong oral foundations and bettering the oral condition.
