Dental implants are a great solution for adults of any age. They give you a quality of life that no other restoration can deliver and if cared for properly, can last for many years.
The loss of a tooth can be a difficult experience, no matter what the reason. Thankfully, a single-tooth implant provides the perfect solution. Implants are the gold standard of missing teeth replacement and as such, they provide long-lasting functionality and security for your smile. In many cases, a single dental implant here in Reading can be life-changing as it allows you to eat, smile and generally be yourself once more.
During a quick surgical process, a single high-quality implant is anchored into the jaw at the missing tooth site. The procedure is normally carried out under a light local anaesthetic. Once placed, the implant needs time to heal and fuse with the bone. This creates stability and normally takes around 3-6 months.
Once the implant has fully integrated and stabilised in the jaw, an abutment is fitted to support the restoration. We’ll then fit your permanent crown to finish off the tooth.
The whole process takes between 4-9 months to complete but in the end, you’ll have a long-lasting, hassle-free restoration that you can be proud of.
At Reading Dental Spa, we pride ourselves on providing a top-tier service and this includes our final restoration teeth. Crafted from the best ceramic or porcelain our crowns are crafted with meticulous care, built to last and colour-matched to fit perfectly within your existing smile. The result is a flawless restoration that anyone would be hard-pressed to notice the difference.

Dental implants are a great solution for adults of any age. They give you a quality of life that no other restoration can deliver and if cared for properly, can last for many years.
Surgery is relatively quick when undergoing a single dental implant in Reading and is carried out under a local anaesthetic, so it’s normally a comfortable and pain-free experience. Patients may, however, feel a little discomfort for a few days after the event but any discomfort should easily be brought under control with over-the-counter pain relief. On the whole most people are surprised by how comfortable the process is.
After treatment, our dentists will provide you with a guide on how to best care for your restoration. Essentially, cleaning is the same as for your natural teeth with daily brushing and flossing. Remember to keep the area around the implant free from plaque, because although the implant and crown are safe from cavities, surrounding gum problems can weaken the stability of the implant causing it to eventually become loose.
The implant itself (the titanium post) is designed to last a lifetime with good oral care. However, you may need to replace the dental crown from time to time. That said, you can still expect a quality dental crown to last 10-15 years, and sometimes more.
