He saw Kit Spears from our dental implant team, who assessed and discussed Mr W’s options to replace his missing tooth.   ![Mr Roger Wane Dental implant smile](https://www.elmsleighhouse.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/9.11.17%20gap1%20waneBW.jpg?width=300&name=9.11.17%20gap1%20waneBW.jpg)   Understandably, Mr W didn’t want to leave a gap, and he didn’t want to have a denture for the long-term. A bridge was considered, but he didn’t want to damage the adjacent teeth, and there were concerns about the viability of a bridge with his bite. So it was decided that a dental implant was the best option for the long-term.   Kit placed a dental implant to restore Mr W’s upper right front tooth under local anaesthetic. Mr W found the procedure to be comfortable throughout, and discomfort afterwards was minimal. Although the treatment time for dental implants can be several months, Mr W was able to wear his denture throughout his treatment, so he was never left with a gap.   After several months of healing, the top of the implant was uncovered and a small titanium cylindrical post attached, protruding through and shaping the gum.   Several weeks later, impressions were taken of Mr W’s teeth and a colour match selected for the new crown. A dental laboratory constructed the crown, and a talented ceramist made the porcelain to match the shape, colour and translucency of Mr W’s adjacent teeth. The crown was tested in place, and as Mr W was delighted with its fit, look and feel, it was securely attached.   ![Mr Roger Wane dental implant smile](https://www.elmsleighhouse.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/19.6.19%20smile%20v2%20waneBW.jpg?width=300&name=19.6.19%20smile%20v2%20waneBW.jpg)   Mr W is now able to eat in comfort and is delighted with the finished result.   For more information about dental implants, call the Welcome Team on [01252 713797](tel:01252713797) or [request a callback online.](https://www.elmsleighhouse.co.uk/contact-us) ![](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/content/email-template-images/placeholder_200x200.png) [Previous Post](https://www.elmsleighhouse.co.uk/blog/five-steps-to-look-after-your-teeth-in-2020) [Next Post](https://www.elmsleighhouse.co.uk/blog/non-surgical-periodontal-therapy) ### CONTACT US TO BOOK OR FOR MORE INFORMATION © 2026 Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic.
