Dental Implant (Single Tooth)

A titanium dental implant replaces the root of a single missing tooth, providing a fixed foundation for a crown without grinding down the neighbouring teeth. PARKOWA places German-made Dentsply Friadent implants (Ankylos, Xive, Frialit) and can use computer-guided planning from a CBCT scan. The implant integrates with the jawbone over a healing period before the final crown is fitted, helping to preserve bone where a tooth has been lost.

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium screw placed into the jawbone to take the role of a missing tooth root. Once in position it is left to integrate with the surrounding bone over a healing period of several weeks to a few months, after which a separately priced crown is attached to restore the visible tooth. Because the implant is anchored in the bone rather than relying on adjacent teeth, it leaves healthy neighbouring teeth untouched and helps maintain the bone that would otherwise tend to shrink after tooth loss. At PARKOWA the procedure starts with planning, usually including a CBCT scan so the implant position can be assessed in three dimensions; computer-assisted surgical navigation is available for more demanding cases. The clinic uses Dentsply Friadent implant systems manufactured in Germany — the Ankylos, Xive and Frialit lines — chosen for their long clinical track record. Placement is carried out under local anaesthetic by a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery and implantology. Where the bone is too thin or the sinus too low, supporting procedures such as a sinus lift or lateral bone augmentation can be performed, each priced separately. Implants are generally suited to adults with a missing tooth and adequate bone or the option to rebuild it; suitability, the number of stages and any contraindications are confirmed at consultation. PARKOWA lists a 24-month guarantee on fixed implant prosthetics.
