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.

To find out more about how dental implants could transform your life, book a consultation with Dr Ahmet or Dr Ashley today!

Everyone does their job properly and Jacob explains things clearly.

14th April 2026

Great support team and a fabulous hygienist who I visit every 3 months.My concern regarding recommending it to others is in your pricing.I feel to put up prices again for the patient to pay for your refurbishment is frankly insulting. To suggest changes were for the patient are ridiculous! They were for your staff and your business should have paid.I was seriously unimpressed by the price hike- if it was not that I so appreciative of the care of Christine Lacey I certainly lt would have reconsidered my options

13th April 2026

Everyone was respectful and welcoming. The air flow treatment was explained in full to me and I was given the option to decline. Sharon explained the whole process before and during treatment. I found this much better than the water treatment and will defiantly continue to have this. I usually have sensitive teeth for a few days following the water treatment, I have not had this and was delighted with how my teeth look following the air treatment.
