Single Dental Implants in Dorset
If you are missing a single tooth, a dental implant is often the most natural and long-lasting solution.
At The Gardens Implant Clinic in Dorchester, we replace missing teeth with advanced dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
Patients travel from Dorchester, Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth and across Dorset for our expert implant care.
What Is a Single Dental Implant?
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a small titanium implant placed in the jawbone.
A custom crown is then attached, creating a replacement tooth that:
• looks natural
• feels stable when chewing
• protects neighbouring teeth
• helps preserve the jawbone

What Does a Single Implant Cost in Dorset?
A single dental implant costs £2,700. That includes:
• 3D CBCT scan and intraoral scan
• implant placement
• abutment (the connector between implant and crown)
• custom implant crown
• review appointments
Some cases need extra treatment, which is priced separately:
• tooth extraction: £150
• bone augmentation (guided bone regeneration): £350
We’ll tell you at your consultation if you need either, and you’ll get a written plan with the full cost before anything starts.

How Long Does a Single Dental Implant Last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, the implant itself can often last 20 years or more, and in many cases can last a lifetime.
The visible crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear, but the implant in the jawbone usually remains stable and continues to support a new crown.
The longevity of a dental implant depends on several factors, including:
• good daily brushing and flossing
• regular dental check-ups and hygiene visits
• avoiding smoking
• healthy bone and gum support
• careful bite planning
At our implant clinic in Dorchester, every implant is carefully planned using 3D digital imaging to ensure the implant is placed in the most stable position possible.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants are considered one of the most reliable and predictable treatments in modern dentistry.
