About dental implants
Missing a tooth affects more than appearance — it can change how you eat, speak and feel in daily life. Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they replicate the entire natural tooth structure, from root to crown, providing stability that alternatives cannot always match.
At Arete Dental Studio in Ascot, we use advanced 3D CBCT scanning and guided planning to place implants with precision. Whether you need a single tooth implant, an implant-supported bridge, or are exploring options for broader tooth loss, every case begins with a thorough clinical assessment. Peer-reviewed research suggests dental implants achieve long-term success rates of approximately 95–98% in suitable candidates, though individual outcomes depend on factors such as bone quality, oral health and compliance with aftercare. For patients considering cosmetic improvements alongside implant treatment, we also offer porcelain veneers and professional teeth whitening to complement your result.

Key benefits
Designed to fuse with your jawbone, dental implants demonstrate very high survivability beyond the 10-year term with proper care and maintenance.
Custom-shaded porcelain crowns are crafted to match the translucency, shape and colour of your natural teeth for a seamless result.
Unlike bridges or dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent the bone loss that commonly follows tooth extraction.
Patient priorities
Explore the practical concerns people commonly face with missing teeth and how structured implant planning can reduce uncertainty, step by step.
A missing tooth can affect confidence, speech and social comfort. Many patients want a solution that looks balanced and natural.
If function has changed, implant planning can help map practical options for day-to-day eating and stability.
Consultations are structured and no-pressure, with clear discussion of suitability, risks, alternatives and expected stages.

Single tooth replacement
A single missing tooth can be replaced with an individual implant and custom porcelain crown, restoring both function and appearance without affecting neighbouring teeth. Unlike a traditional dental bridge, which requires preparation of adjacent teeth for support, a single implant stands independently within the jawbone.
At your consultation, we assess bone density, gum health and bite alignment to determine whether a single implant is the most appropriate option. Where a bridge or alternative approach may be more suitable, we discuss this openly so you can make an informed decision.

Tooth replacement options
For one missing tooth, an implant with a custom crown can replace both root and visible tooth structure.
For several missing teeth in one area, an implant-supported bridge may restore function without a full removable denture.
For broader tooth loss, implants may improve denture retention and confidence compared with loose removable dentures.
Some cases need preparatory treatment first, including grafting, to support safer long-term outcomes.
Bridges, removable dentures or staged care may be more suitable depending on your health, anatomy and goals.
Why choose Arete in Ascot

Your first visit
Your consultation begins with a discussion of your concerns, goals and medical history. We then carry out a clinical examination and, where indicated, a 3D CBCT scan to assess bone density, nerve position and the anatomy surrounding the implant site.
Using this information, we present a clear treatment plan outlining your options, expected stages, realistic timeframes and estimated costs. There is no pressure to proceed — the consultation is designed to give you the information you need to make a confident decision. If implants are not the most appropriate option, we discuss alternatives openly.
Implant process
Understanding your concerns, mapping goals and determining initial suitability.
Indicative timeframe: 15 minutes
Checking bone density, gum health and bite dynamics using imaging to map possibilities.
Indicative timeframe: 3D scan and planning usually within 1-2 weeks
Clear, no-pressure overview of risks, staging, alternatives and estimated costs based on scan results.
Indicative timeframe: 30 minutes
Some patients require bone grafting or clearance of failing teeth. If not needed, you progress straight to placement.
Indicative timeframe: 3-6 months healing if grafting is required
Surgical placement of the titanium fixture(s). We monitor early healing to ensure the jawbone integrates properly.
Indicative timeframe: Placement takes 1-2 hours; healing integrates over 3-4 months
Once healed, digital scans inform the shape, shade and bite integration of your final crown, bridge or denture connection.
Indicative timeframe: Impressions to final design takes around 1-2 weeks
Fitting your new restoration, confirming comfort and function, and establishing an ongoing maintenance and review schedule.
Indicative timeframe: Fitted in 1 visit; ongoing 6-monthly reviews
After placement
Following implant placement, the titanium fixture integrates with your jawbone over a healing period of approximately three to four months. During this time, most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days, though some tenderness, swelling or bruising may occur in the first 48 hours.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are available throughout your recovery if any concerns arise. Once healing is confirmed, we proceed with designing and fitting your permanent restoration. Long-term implant health is supported by regular home care and six-monthly professional reviews, similar to the maintenance of natural teeth.

Cost and planning
Based on current pricing, a single dental implant with crown at Arete Dental Studio typically ranges from $4,000 to $7,000 depending on case complexity. Your treatment plan may include imaging, implant placement, restoration work and in some cases preparatory grafting. All cases vary — exact fees are confirmed after your individual assessment.

Suitability, risks and alternatives
Dental implants are not suitable for everyone. Bone levels, gum health, healing profile and medical factors influence recommendations.
Implant care can involve risks such as infection, delayed healing or implant failure. Individual assessment and follow-up are essential.
Depending on your case, bridges, removable dentures or staged treatment may be advised as alternatives or as a first step.

Many people may be suitable, but implants are not suitable for everyone. Suitability depends on bone support, gum health, medical history, healing factors and your treatment goals.
Treatment timelines vary by complexity and healing. Some cases are straightforward, while others include staged steps before the final tooth is fitted.
In many cases, yes. A single implant and custom crown can be considered to replace one missing tooth after clinical assessment and imaging.
A failing tooth can be assessed to determine whether it can be saved or whether replacement options should be discussed. If replacement is needed, timing is planned case by case.
For some patients, implants may improve denture retention and stability. Whether this is appropriate depends on bone support, denture design and overall oral health.
Insufficient bone does not always rule out treatment. Some patients may be suitable for staged options such as grafting, while others may be better suited to alternatives.
