Single Dental Implants
Losing a single tooth — whether through injury, decay, or extraction — affects far more than your appearance. It changes how you bite, how you speak, and over time can cause the surrounding bone and neighbouring teeth to shift.

I am a nervous dental patient who had been dreading the procedure. The experience was absolutely 5 star — the facilities are state of the art and the whole procedure was painless. My new tooth looks fantastic and not one of my friends or family can tell which tooth is not the real one.

Single Implants
One Missing Tooth?
Losing a single tooth — whether through injury, decay, or extraction — affects far more than your appearance. It changes how you bite, how you speak, and over time can cause the surrounding bone and neighbouring teeth to shift.
A single dental implant replaces the root as well as the crown. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it bonds with the bone over several weeks. Once secure, a bespoke porcelain crown is fitted on top — indistinguishable from your natural teeth and built to last decades.
Unlike a bridge, no healthy adjacent teeth are touched. Unlike a denture, it stays in permanently. It is, quite simply, the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back.
Single Implant (implant + crown) from £2,995.
How it works
Replacing a single tooth
A single tooth replacement is a fairly straightforward procedure, using a dental implant to complete your smile.
A dental implant looks like a small screw – made from titanium – which is securely fused into the precise position of the missing tooth and acts as a ‘root’ to hold a false tooth or crown in place. Once fitted, the implant will provide long-term support for your new replacement tooth which will be colour and shade matched to your natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Replacing multiple teeth
If you’ve lost multiple teeth, you may be wearing a denture or partial denture.
It’s no secret that dentures can cause discomfort, difficulty eating, and embarrassment in social situations, but you don’t have to eat soft foods or wear dentures for the rest of your life! Replacing multiple teeth is similar to the procedure to replace just one, and in some cases, we can even replace multiple teeth with just one implant which can support a bridge of up to four teeth in a row.
Traditional bridges require the dentist to grind down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap — permanently weakening them just to support the replacement. An implant-supported bridge avoids this entirely.
One or two implants are placed in the jaw to anchor the bridge. The result is a fixed, stable restoration that looks and feels completely natural — with no damage to your healthy teeth and no movement when you eat or speak.
Implant-supported bridges are an excellent solution for two, three, or four consecutive missing teeth, combining the strength of implants with the efficiency of a bridge structure.
Your journey
Your dental implant journey
Our dental implant patients are consulted on a one-on-one basis to ensure you’re fully aware of what the procedure involves, give you comprehensive information on the benefits of dental implants, and provide you with support and guidance to help you to make the right decision for your oral health and dental care.
Full mouth examination
The first step is to give our patients a full clinical mouth examination to assess your overall oral health, where we’ll check that there’s enough bone remaining for your implant, your mouth is healthy, and that you’re ready to have your implant.
Comprehensive treatment plan
After your examination, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive outline of the proposed treatment, full cost, and go through any questions you might have so you can make the most informed choice for your treatment.
What your new smile will look like
Our experienced dental technician will prepare a digital mock-up of your teeth after treatment based on your treatment plan, so you can get a good idea of what your new smile will look like with your replacement teeth. We’ll also schedule your future appointments.
Implant placement
At this appointment, the dental implant will be gently placed into the bone, which can take between 3–6 months to heal. If the implant is to be loaded with a false tooth or bridge immediately, a temporary crown can be fitted on the same day.
Exposing the implants
If the dental implants haven’t been loaded immediately, the next stage is for the dental implants to be uncovered and impressions taken, so the dental technician can construct a custom made post for your dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Final fitting
For single crowns and bridges, temporary crowns are normally used to ensure that the correct gum profile has been created for the best possible aesthetic result. The final implant supported crown or bridge (artificial tooth) is fitted approximately a month later, and will leave you with a perfect new smile.
In-house technology
Our innovative technology
We use only the most advanced dental technology to get accurate, detailed impressions of your teeth and gums, for more precise treatment and better results.
CBCT scanner
Our specialist CBCT scanner generates 3D images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths, and bone in the face; much more detailed than what we can get from a traditional X-ray. This means we can more precisely plan your treatment, and all our dental implant treatments can be provided in-house, without the need to go to a hospital or a third-party lab for analysis.
Intraoral scanner
With the use of an advanced state-of-the-art intraoral scanner, we’ve moved away from the traditional dental tray and putty method of getting teeth impressions, which can create discomfort, gagging, and an overall unpleasant experience for patients. The intraoral scanner allows us to get extremely accurate teeth impressions and more accurately plan your treatment.

Single tooth implant
Dr Kamal Singh
Implant retained bridge
Dr Kamal Singh
This patient had seven missing teeth and wanted to refrain from wearing a denture. We put a temporary bridge in place which allowed us to make sure it was the right look for her and to check her bite. 10 years later, the outcome remains excellent, showing off a natural gum line and a smile that the patient was delighted with.
Upper and lower implant supported overdentures
Dr Kamal Singh
This patient came in with ill-fitting upper and lower dentures, and she was unhappy with their overall appearance, coupled with the fact that she was unable to chew effectively. Her new upper and lower overdentures grip onto her implants, providing excellent aesthetics and vastly improved function. This allowed the patient to have a more natural bite and to chew effectively like she would with natural teeth. She loves her elegant and natural looking smile and is very thrilled with the outcome.

Dental Implants FAQs
What are dental implants and how do they work?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is placed into the jawbone and, once healed, supports a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to restore your smile and bite function.
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Most adults in good health are suitable candidates for dental implants. You’ll need healthy gums and sufficient bone density in your jaw. During your initial consultation, we’ll carry out a full examination and 3D scan to assess your suitability.
What are the benefits of dental implants over dentures?
Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are fixed in place, feel more like natural teeth, and don’t slip or cause discomfort. They help preserve bone, maintain facial structure, and offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
I've been told I don't have enough bone for implants — can you still help?
Very possibly, yes. Many patients are told they’re unsuitable for implants at general practices that don’t offer advanced bone grafting. Kamal holds the advanced certificate in implant surgery for complex cases — including block bone grafting and maxillary sinus grafting — which can create the bone volume needed for implants even where significant bone loss has occurred. If you’ve been turned away elsewhere, book a consultation and let Kamal assess what’s truly possible.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you’ll feel no pain during surgery — just some pressure and sensation. As one of our patients told us: “the whole procedure was painless.” If you’re particularly anxious, please mention this when you book — we can discuss sedation options to help you feel completely relaxed. Post-operatively, some mild soreness and swelling is normal for a few days and is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How much does a single dental implant cost in Nottingham?
A single tooth implant at Hilton Dental — including the titanium implant and custom porcelain crown — costs £2,995. Your initial consultation with Kamal is completely free (worth £95). We offer 0% finance to spread the payments comfortably if needed.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a lifetime solution. With proper care — regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups — the implant itself can last decades. The crown or bridge attached may need replacement after 10–15 years depending on wear. Implants consistently achieve success rates above 95% over 10 years.
Why choose Hilton Dental Clinic for implants over another Nottingham practice?
Kamal Singh Missan is one of the most highly qualified implant surgeons in the East Midlands. He holds the DipImplantDent RCS(Eng) from the Royal College of Surgeons of England plus the advanced certificate for complex bone grafting — one of only a handful of dentists in the UK to have earned this. Other dentists refer their hardest cases to Kamal, and he trains practitioners in implant techniques. At Hilton Dental, you’re not seeing a general dentist who also places implants; you’re with a dedicated implant surgeon with over 20 years of experience at a practice that has served Nottingham for 60+ years.
