Single Tooth Dental Implants in Fraserburgh
Close the gap with a natural, lasting solution!
Single Tooth Dental Implants
Even one missing tooth can quietly disrupt your smile. It may make chewing difficult, alter your speech, or leave you feeling self-conscious in social situations. We offer reliable single tooth dental implant solutions at Fraserburgh Dental Care to help restore comfort, function, and confidence. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, which supports a custom-made crown that looks and feels like a natural tooth. Whether the tooth was lost through injury, decay, or something else, replacing it with an implant helps protect the health of nearby teeth and gums.
A Smart Choice for Tooth Replacement
A missing back tooth might not be immediately noticeable, but its impact on your oral health can be significant. Without that tooth, chewing becomes less efficient, which places extra strain on nearby teeth and the jaw. Over time, this can lead to discomfort, jaw tension, or even damage to surrounding teeth. The gap also becomes a trap for food particles, increasing the risk of gum irritation, inflammation, and plaque build-up.
A single tooth dental implant restores proper function, supports the surrounding teeth, and helps maintain the natural balance and aesthetics of your smile.

Benefits of Single Tooth Implants
Natural-looking result
An implant crown is shaped and shaded to match nearby teeth, creating a seamless, lifelike finish.
Long-term reliability
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are built to last with proper care, making them a dependable option.
Protects bone health
Because the implant sits in the jaw like a tooth root, it helps keep the bone strong and prevents shrinkage over time.
No strain on nearby teeth
Single implants don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support, helping to preserve their natural structure.
Brings back confidence
Eat, talk, and smile without hesitation. A single implant fills the gap and feels comfortable day to day.
Good long-term value
Though the upfront cost may be higher than other options, the durability and comfort of an implant make it a sound investment.

Other Treatments We Offer
Root Canal Treatment
While a simple filling can often resolve broken or decayed teeth, sometimes, when the problem has reached the pulp or nerve of the tooth, root canal treatment is necessary.
First, we will remove the damaged or infected nerve before cleansing and shaping the inner canal to prevent reinfection and then sealing fully. Once the endodontic treatment has been carried out a crown, usually gold or porcelain, may be used to cover a tooth that has a large opening after root canal therapy.
Dental Hygiene
Our experienced hygienists have a keen focus on providing first class dental hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy and gum disease free.
We believe that prevention is key and we will work with you to help formulate a customised oral hygiene plan to suit your mouth and lifestyle. We recommend that all of our patients attend regular hygiene appointments and dental checkups to keep their smiles healthy.
Teeth Whitening
Your smile is important. It’s one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression.
Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking.
Dentures
Dentures are a removable option for replacing missing teeth. They can be particularly useful when there is extensive loss of bone support or when multiple teeth are missing. In addition to tooth replacement, dentures can also give support and structure to soft tissues of the cheek and lips, while restoring dental form and function. Our skilled dental technicians will construct the dentures in the laboratory based on our prescription.
