Single Tooth Implants
A single implant supports one crown without altering neighbouring healthy teeth. This preserves adjacent tooth structure and restores chewing efficiency and appearance. The crown is matched to your existing teeth.

If you live near Billericay Station and are considering replacing one or more missing teeth, dental implant treatment can provide a long-term, natural-feeling solution. At Grange Green we plan treatment around your oral health, how you use your teeth and the appearance you want to achieve. During a consultation we will explain realistic options and next steps for dental implant treatment so you can decide what suits your needs. The recommended pathway will be tailored to your gums, bone and bite rather than offered as a single one-size-fits-all approach.
Could Dental Implants Help You?
Implants are used to replace one missing tooth, carry a fixed bridge across a gap, stabilise loose dentures or support a full missing arch. They act like a tooth root and provide a stable base for crowns, bridges or removable restorations. Suitability is established at assessment and depends on gum health, jawbone volume, how your upper and lower teeth meet, general medical history, smoking and your willingness to maintain hygiene around the implant. Some patients require preparatory care such as gum treatment or bone grafting before an implant can be placed. Your consultation will clarify which options and timings apply to you.
Dental Implant Options
Implant-Supported Bridges
When several adjacent teeth are missing, two or more implants can support a fixed bridge that replaces the space. This avoids using natural teeth as anchors and restores a continuous chewing surface.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures clip onto supporting implants but can be removed for cleaning. They offer greater stability than conventional dentures and are a practical choice when a removable solution is preferred.
Full-Arch Dental Implants
Full-arch treatment replaces most or all teeth in a jaw and follows a coordinated surgical and prosthetic plan for suitable patients.
Complex reconstructions follow a separate assessment pathway and include detailed imaging when required. For selected patients we can discuss the full arch dental implants pathway.
Your Dental Implant Journey
Initial Implant Assessment
Your first visit reviews teeth, gums, bone volume, bite and medical history. We check for gum disease and any infection, discuss expectations and decide whether further imaging, such as a CBCT scan, is needed to assess bone and anatomical structures. This assessment determines whether implants are advisable immediately or whether preparatory care is required first.Bespoke Treatment Planning
You will receive a written plan that outlines the recommended stages, likely timescales and alternatives. The plan covers whether temporary teeth are needed, any gum or bone preparation, and the restorative design. We explain the advantages and limitations of each option so you can make an informed decision.Implant Placement And Healing
Placement is normally carried out under local anaesthetic. The implant is positioned in the jaw and allowed to integrate with the bone during healing. Some patients are provided with temporary teeth while integration takes place. Any requirement for additional procedures, such as bone grafting, is identified and scheduled during planning.Restoration And Long-Term Care
When healing is complete, the final crown, bridge or denture is fitted and adjusted for bite and comfort. Long-term care includes routine hygiene appointments and regular check-ups to monitor the gums, the bite and the restoration. We agree a maintenance schedule to protect the implant and surrounding tissues.Dental Implants At Grange Green Dental Practice

What May Affect Your Implant Treatment Plan
Gum disease must be controlled before or during implant planning because it undermines long-term success. The volume and quality of jawbone influence implant positioning and may require bone grafting. Smoking affects healing and is considered when we plan treatment. Medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or medications that influence bone and immunity can change timing or suitability. Teeth grinding and an unfavourable bite may require protective measures for the restoration. The timing of tooth extractions is important, since immediate replacement and delayed implant protocols differ. For some patients temporary crowns or removable restorations provide function while preparatory treatment is completed.
Caring For Your Dental Implants
Daily cleaning around the implant restoration is essential. Brush twice a day and use interdental brushes or floss designed for implants to clean between the implant and adjacent teeth. Regular professional hygiene visits help remove deposits and allow the hygienist to examine the surrounding gums and implant condition. We schedule review visits to monitor gum health, the bite and the integrity of the restoration. Contact the practice promptly if you notice bleeding, persistent discomfort, swelling, an unusual taste or any movement in an implant restoration so we can assess the situation.
