Single tooth dental implants

Serving patients throughout Guildford, Farnham, Aldershot, Godalming, Woking, Shalford and Cranleigh

Dental Implants are a fantastic solution for the permanent replacement of a missing tooth, performing and functioning just like your natural teeth.

Not only can implants recreate natural-looking teeth, but they also safeguard your overall dental health. Replacing missing teeth is extremely important, as missing teeth cause bone loss which will age your face and could potentially cause adjacent teeth to become loose too.

To replace a single missing tooth a single implant is needed. Our implant dentist, Dr Chhavi Sharma or Dr Raman Bhardwaj will carefully place a titanium implant into the jaw to replace the original root. This is then left for 3 to 6 months to heal and fuse with your jawbone, before securely attaching a crown. Dr Chhavi or Dr Raman will ensure your crown is carefully crafted to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.

At Guildford Dental Centre we can assist with all implant cases, from the simplest to the most complex. Our patients have the peace of mind that they can access progressive technology and benefit from a wealth of experience from our implant dentist, Dr Chhavi or Dr Raman.

The benefits of implants

  • Implants look and feel just like natural teeth – you shouldn’t notice any difference.
  • With dental implants, replacement teeth are securely anchored without compromising any neighbouring healthy teeth.
  • Implants won’t come loose or fall out.
  • Implants prevent ageing bone loss, by stimulating your bone structure and stabilising the surrounding teeth.
  • Implants can last for many years if you maintain good oral hygiene.

Are you suitable for treatment?

Patients must have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants. At your initial consultation Dr Chhavi or Dr Raman will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Some patients may need to see a hygienist for a course of treatment to ensure their gums are strong and healthy before the dental implant process can begin.

Dr Chhavi or Dr Raman will also check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully at this initial consultation. If there is insufficient bone you may need to need pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

To find out more about how dental implants could transform your life, book a consultation with Dr Chhavi or Dr Raman today!

I had a great experience at Guildford Dental Centre, the receptionist Jacqui was extremely helpful, re booking my appointments. And my dentist Derek was very reassuring with my future dental plans.

I highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre . Derek is an amazing dentist who’s kind, patient & is in my opinion second to none. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! His nurse Megan is warm, kind and makes me feel so comfortable as soon as I walk into the surgery. The reception team are so efficient, easy to talk to and professional.

I highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre for anyone looking at dental services in the Guildford or the wider Surrey/surrounding areas. Dr. Derek Whittle and Megan were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and efficient during my recent visit. I received a thorough cleaning, a filling, and measurements alongside clear instructions for teeth whitening, all of which were done with great care and professionalism, as well as useful tips for maintaining good dental health through best practice habits and lifestyle choices. The procedures were a complete success, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend this practice for their exceptional service and approach.
