Single tooth dental implants

Serving patients throughout East Sussex and Crowborough

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 Ahmet Bilginer or Dr Ashley Sim 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 Ahmet or Dr Ashley will ensure your crown is carefully crafted to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.

At Durban 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 Ahmet or Dr Ashley.

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 Ahmet or Dr Ashley 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 Ahmet or Dr Ashley 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.

I can't say I ever find dental visits easy, do any of us?! but Ahmet is excellent and I always feel in a safe and skilled pair of hands. The receptionists always friendly and welcoming too and the place is spotlessly clean.

I have been a patient at Durban Dental Centre since I was 10 years old. At this point it was still an NHS practice but I remained as a patient when it became a private practice. Why? Because of the quality of care I have always received here. Dentists have come and gone but I can honestly say that every one of the dentists that have looked after my dental care for the last 40 years have been amazing. I trust them and even though I no longer live in the area, Durban Dental Centre remains my practice.

My experience as a patient of the Durban Dental Surgery has been exceptional. Ashley's competence, customer care and overall professionalism is exemplary. He is ably assisted by the dental nurse who is extraordinarily warm and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Durban Dental Surgery to my family and friends.It must also be noted that Anda the Hygienist is an amazing and experienced asset to the surgery.Thank you for attaining such high and enviable standards. Keep it up!!
