With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last for decades. The titanium post is designed to remain permanently in place, though the crown may need replacement after 10–15 years as part of normal maintenance.
At Lakewood Dental in Carshalton, our experienced clinicians – including Dr Javier Perez (Implantologist), Dr Neel Patel, and Dr Nadia Riveros – use advanced digital planning with trusted Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems to restore both function and confidence.

A single dental implant replaces a missing tooth by anchoring a biocompatible titanium post within the jawbone, providing a stable base for a custom-made crown that looks and feels completely natural. Once healed, a bespoke porcelain crown is fitted on top to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are fixed securely in place, protecting your bone structure and preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting. The result is a fully functional, natural-looking tooth that supports your long-term oral health.
A dental implant can help you:
Chew, smile, and speak with complete confidence
Maintain your facial shape by preventing bone loss
Protect surrounding teeth from movement
Enjoy a stable, comfortable bite without the need for adhesives
Experience a durable, low-maintenance solution built to last
Whether you’ve lost a single tooth through injury, decay, or gum disease, an implant offers a permanent solution that restores both strength and aesthetics.
01
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation where your dentist reviews your oral health, medical background, and expectations. Together, we’ll discuss all available options and confirm your suitability for implant treatment.
02
Your dentist will create a tailored treatment plan, carefully selecting the implant position and crown design to achieve the most natural and stable result.
03
The titanium implant is placed under local anaesthetic during a short, comfortable procedure. Most patients resume normal activity within 24 – 48 hours. Over the following 3 – 6 months, the implant naturally bonds with your jawbone to form a secure foundation.
04
Throughout your healing period, we’ll invite you back for review appointments to ensure the implant is integrating successfully and to provide ongoing care advice.
05
Once the implant has healed, a custom-made porcelain crown is fitted to complete your smile. Designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, it restores both appearance and function.
Every treatment begins with a clear, written plan so you know exactly what to expect.
Single Dental Implant: from £2,500
Bone Grafting (if required): from £300
Sinus Lift: price on assessment
We offer 0% finance and flexible payment options, allowing you to spread the cost of treatment over manageable monthly instalments.
Your implant journey is guided by a dedicated team with years of experience in restorative and aesthetic dentistry.

No. Implants are placed under local anaesthetic, and most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure. Any tenderness afterwards can be managed easily with mild pain relief.
Yes, in many cases. If your jawbone has lost density, we may recommend a bone graft or sinus lift to build up the area and create a stable foundation for the implant.
Most single implant treatments take between three and six months, depending on your healing time. You’ll receive a detailed plan outlining each stage and when to expect your final result.
Caring for an implant is just like caring for a natural tooth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend hygiene appointments as advised. With proper care, your implant can last a lifetime.
