Single tooth implant

Yes. The restoration is designed and milled in the same building, which removes the wait and the back-and-forth with an external laboratory. It also means adjustments can be made the same day rather than at another appointment.

Age itself is not a barrier. What matters is bone volume, gum health, and general medical conditions or medications that affect healing. Those are assessed individually, and CBCT imaging shows whether the bone will support an implant before anything is committed to.

Grafting can often build the site up, either at the time of placement or as a separate earlier step. Where bone is very limited, a bridge, a denture or a different implant position may be the better answer. CBCT imaging at assessment establishes which applies rather than leaving it to be discovered during surgery.

The implant itself is designed to be permanent and many remain in place for decades. The crown on top is a wearing part and may need replacing at some stage. Longevity depends heavily on gum health, smoking, grinding and keeping up regular reviews, so no specific lifespan can be promised.

An implant replaces the root and does not involve the neighbouring teeth. A bridge is quicker but requires preparing the teeth either side. A denture is removable and the least invasive. Cost, bone volume, how many teeth are missing and what you want day to day all feed into it, so it is decided at assessment rather than in advance.

Yes. A2ZDental has a specialist anaesthetist attending, with anaesthetically trained staff, so implant placement — including multiple implants in one sitting — can be completed under GA, and you go home the same day. The anaesthetist's fee is quoted separately by the anaesthetist's office, in addition to the cost of the dental treatment itself.

The implant is placed under local anaesthetic and most people report less discomfort than a difficult extraction. Soreness for a few days afterwards is normal and managed with ordinary pain relief. Sedation and general anaesthetic are available on site if you would rather not be aware of the procedure. Both are quoted separately from the treatment fee.

The figure comes after the assessment, because a single implant is rarely a single item. What drives it is whether the tooth has to be removed first, whether the site has to heal before the implant goes in, whether the bone needs grafting or a sinus lift, and what restoration goes on top. CBCT imaging at assessment establishes which of those apply, and you are quoted in writing before anything starts. If you choose treatment under general anaesthetic, the anaesthetist's fee is quoted separately by the anaesthetist's office and is in addition.
