Understanding the Gold Standard: Single Tooth Implant vs. Bridges)
When you lose a single tooth, you typically have two options: a traditional dental bridge or a dental implant. While bridges were the norm for decades, they come with a significant biological cost—they require cutting down healthy adjacent teeth.
At HCT Dental Clinic, our philosophy is preservation. A single tooth implant is the only restoration that replaces both the missing natural tooth and its root.
Why Experts Recommend Implants Over Bridges:
- Preventing Bone Destruction: Without a tooth root, your jawbone begins to melt away (resorb). A titanium post stimulates the bone just like a natural root, preventing facial collapse and bone loss.
- Durability: While bridges typically last 10-15 years, a high-quality implant (like Straumann or Nobel) can last a lifetime with proper care.
- No Damage to Healthy Teeth: Unlike bridges, we do not touch your surrounding healthy teeth.
👨⚕️ Expert Insight: The Surgical Perspective
"Many patients ask me, 'Is the brand really that important?' As a surgeon, my answer is yes. We use premium brands like Straumann because their surface technology integrates with your jawbone much faster and safer. This reduces the risk of infection and shortens your healing period."

Beyond the Implant: Potential Additional Treatments & Costs
At HCT Dental Clinic, we hate unpleasant surprises. While our implant prices are fixed, some patients may require preparatory treatments to ensure the implant has a solid foundation. If your jawbone has receded due to long-term tooth loss, the following treatments might be necessary:
1. Bone Grafting
What is it? Adding synthetic or natural bone minerals to build up the jaw volume.
When is it needed? If the bone width is too thin to hold the titanium screw safely due to bone destruction.
Estimated Cost: £150 – £300 per cc.
2. Sinus Lifting
What is it? Gently lifting the sinus membrane (in the upper jaw) to create room for bone.
When is it needed? Common for upper back teeth implants where the sinus cavity is too close to the jaw. A precise sinus surgery ensures safety.
Estimated Cost: £200 – £450.

WhatsappContact FormWho is a Candidate? Risks & Complications
While dental implants are safe, they require a specific physiological foundation. Our expert dentist team evaluates every patient’s medical history.
You are a strong candidate if:
- You have sufficient jawbone density.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes (which can slow healing).
- You have healthy gums free of active infection.
Potential Risks and How We Minimize Them:
| Potential Complication | Our Preventive Protocol at HCT |
|---|---|
| Infection | Strict sterile protocols (ISO 9001) and post-op antibiotics virtually eliminate this risk. |
| Nerve Damage | We use 3D Tomography (CBCT) to map your nerves exactly before surgery. |
| Sinus Issues | Precise sinus surgery prevents the implant from infringing on the sinus cavity. |
Life-Changing Benefits: Beyond Aesthetics
Replacing a missing tooth is not just about filling a gap; it is about restoring your quality of life. A missing tooth can lead to a domino effect of oral issues, including difficulty chewing, speech impediments, and facial sagging due to bone resorption.
- Restore Chewing Power: Unlike dentures, a single tooth implant functions exactly like your natural permanent tooth. You can eat apples and steaks without hesitation.
- Clarity of Speech: Gaps in teeth can cause whistling sounds. An implant restores your natural speech pattern instantly.
- Unmatched Confidence: With our high-quality zirconium crowns, the result is indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
👩⚕️ Expert Insight: Prosthetic Excellence
“For the final look, we often recommend Zirconia or E-max crowns. Zirconia mimics the translucency of your natural teeth perfectly. My goal is to make sure nobody can tell which tooth is the implant.”
