A Smile That Feels Like Your Own
Losing one tooth or several can really affect your confidence. Whether it happens through decay, injury, or gum disease, those gaps in your smile can make everyday things like eating, speaking, and smiling more difficult.
Fortunately, dental implants provide a reliable, natural-looking way to restore your smile. At M Dental Canada Water, we offer both single tooth implants and full arch implant solutions. But how do you know which is right for you?
In today’s blog, we’ll break down the key differences so you can find the best option for your smile, lifestyle, and budget. And remember, our friendly experts are always here to help. Book an M Dental Canada Water consultation to receive a fully personalised treatment plan tailored to you.
What Is a Single Tooth Dental Implant?
A single tooth implant is used to replace one missing tooth or a few teeth in different areas of your mouth. Each implant is made up of three main components:
The implant post: a small titanium screw that’s carefully placed into the jawbone, acting just like a natural tooth root.
The abutment: a connecting piece that securely joins the implant post to your new tooth.
The crown: a custom-made ceramic tooth designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Once placed, a dental implant looks, feels, and functions just like a real tooth, giving you back your confidence and a natural-looking smile.
✅ Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant
Permanent solution: Replaces a missing tooth for good, with a secure and natural looking result.
Preserves bone health: Helps maintain your jawbone structure and prevents shrinkage, which can lead to future dental issues.
Protects surrounding teeth: No need to file down neighbouring teeth, unlike traditional bridges.
Restores confidence: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling again, just as you would with your natural teeth.
A dental implant and crown, here at M Dental Canada Water, is designed to match the colour and shape of your other teeth thereby creating a seamless natural finish.
What Is a Full Arch Dental Implant?
If you’ve lost several teeth or struggle with loose dentures a full arch dental implant could completely transform your smile.
This treatment uses four to six implants to support an entire set of new teeth and can be placed in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. One of the most popular options is the All-on-4 technique, where four carefully positioned implants securely anchor a full arch of fixed teeth.
✅ Benefits of Full Arch Implants:
They replace all missing teeth with a stable, permanent solution;
They look and feel like natural teeth;
There is no slipping or rubbing (unlike dentures);
They help maintain healthy bone structure; and
They restore full chewing power and confidence to your mouth.
Here at M Dental many patients have likened it to “turning back the clock and feeling like they have a brand-new smile”.
Which Treatment Option Is Right for You?
The right choice depends on your individual needs but we show below a few options:
Missing one tooth: a single tooth option implant is your best option
Missing a few teeth in different areas: multiple single implants are likely to be the best option
Missing most or all teeth: a full arch will be your best option
Currently wearing dentures: a full arch implant will for a permanent fix is likely to be your best option
Every smile is unique and so is every set of circumstances. The information above is intended as a general guide, but the best way to find out what’s right for you is through an initial consultation at M Dental Canada Water.
During your visit, our implant experts will assess your teeth, gums, and bone health, then create a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
Dental implants are an investment in your confidence, comfort, and long-term oral health, and costs can vary depending on your individual needs. As a guide, single tooth implants start from £2,500, while a full arch implant (All-on-4) starts from £10,000.
Although a full arch solution involves a higher initial cost, it can often be more cost-effective in the long run, especially if you’re replacing multiple teeth.
