Single Dental Implants West Sussex
The best replacement for a single missing tooth
Single implants are the perfect solution for those with a missing tooth. They can be placed anywhere in the mouth and aesthetically shaped to match the rest of your smile. Whether you are looking for something to permanently replace the aesthetics of a front tooth, or you want to restore the functionality of a missing back tooth, single tooth implants are a fantastic and flexible option that can last you a lifetime.
Prices start from £2,300.
About the treatment
The placing of a single dental implant involves a small surgical procedure, during which a titanium screw (also known as the implant) is inserted into the jawbone, effectively replacing the root of a normal tooth. A connecting piece called an abutment is then added to the top of the screw, and a temporary crown fixed on top during the healing process. Once the jawbone and gum has healed around the new implant (a process which usually takes a few months), we will replace the temporary crown with a permanent one and you can go home with your smile!
Pre-implant treatments and when they are required
When a tooth or multiple teeth have been gone for a long time, the jawbone beneath the missing root can start to shrink from lack of stimulation. This can mean that there is sometimes insufficient jawbone to place the implants into. In cases such as these, we have various pre-implant treatments that can be used to rebuild the bone if it has already shrunk. We can also preserve the socket if you are in the early stages of extraction, allowing you to continue with dental implant treatment afterwards.
Common questions for single implants
No, dental implants are designed to blend in with your natural teeth. We can shape and colour-match your dental implant to complement your smile, so that no one will ever notice that you have an implant.
The healing process is different for everyone, but usually takes between 4-6 months for a full recovery before you can get your permanent crown fitted.
Looking after your dental implants is very similar to looking after normal teeth. They require daily cleaning and brushing. Flossing and mouthwash is also recommended, and you should make regular hygienist appointments to have them professionally cleaned.
Absolutely. Dental implants are a long-term investment, which when looked after correctly, can last you a lifetime. They are the closest you can get to having real teeth again, and they allow you to eat, smile, laugh and speak with confidence. Plus, you could save money on dental bills down the line where gaps in your smile has left your remaining teeth more vulnerable.
It is very rare that people are completely ineligible for a dental implant. Sometimes people require pre-implant treatments, such as bone grafting, to rebuild the jawbone before having an implant, however, this rarely prevents you from being eligible. The only other things that may affect your eligibility is smoking (however, you can alter this by choosing to quit) or certain health issues. You can find out more about whether or not you are suitable during your initial consultation.

I have been a patient of Dr Sanuri for both aesthetics and cosmetic dentistry, and I can honestly say I have never felt in better hands. He is very thorough is his explanations of the procedures I have undergone. I very much feel he is with me every step of the way, always asking if I had any questions. I would highly recommend Dr Sanuri, for his professionalism, preciseness and just his general kind and happy character.

Customer Testimonials
I am a dental nurse who has worked with Adel on many occasions for a wide range of treatments. I can honestly say he is a first-rate dentist who is very caring towards his patients. His implant expertise is outstanding and I feel proud to assist him with these. He never puts patients under pressure but is happy to guide and answer questions with his wealth of dental knowledge.
I chose Adel as my dentist when it came to needing treatment myself. Having never really been happy with the appearance of my crooked teeth, we decided on Invisalign treatment. He has put me at ease throughout and has made straightening my teeth a pain-free experience. I would highly recommend him.

Customer Testimonials
I have been a patient of Dr Sanuri for over 5 years. I had the ClearCorrect treatment with him to get my perfect smile and from start to finish, he’s been amazing.
I get very anxious before appointments, but Dr Sanuri was brilliant at making me feel comfortable and at ease. I’m so happy with my treatment and can’t thank him enough for the work he has put in to help me create my perfect smile.
Gemma Boltwood – Cosmetic Dentistry Patient
Customer Testimonials
Dr Sanuri saw me as a patient for a very deep filling on a tooth. It had started causing me problems and I thought that root canal treatment might be needed.
A year and a half later, it is all OK and I haven’t had any problems with it. He works quickly and efficiently - I didn’t feel a thing.
Rosen Ampirski – Dental Patient
Customer Testimonials
I am a General Dentist and have had the privilege of working with Dr Sanuri for the past 5 years - including working on some cases together.
I have come to regard him as an exceptional clinician with a meticulous work ethic. His patients consider him extremely caring but they hold him in very high regard in general and have been very pleased with the work he has done for them.
As a fellow dentist one tends to look at another dentist’s work critically, but I can happily say that I will entrust Dr Sanuri with working on my own teeth anytime. And that is saying a lot!
Godfried Gevers – Dental Patient
Customer Testimonials
Dr Sanuri first did my Botox and fillers a few years ago. I remember being concerned by the wrinkles and prominent frown lines on my forehead, these lines were very noticeable to me in pictures and knocked my confidence a lot.
I found him to have a professional, attentive approach which completely put me at ease. The outcome was amazing!
I had no bruising whatsoever and the treatment itself was pretty much pain-free. The results were dramatic and so natural looking I’ve never felt so comfortable in my own skin.
