A Single Tooth Implant is a modern dental solution designed to replace a single missing tooth with a permanent, natural-looking restoration. Unlike traditional bridges, a single implant preserves the surrounding healthy teeth while restoring full function, aesthetics, and bite alignment.

Made of biocompatible titanium, the implant acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a stable foundation for a crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A Single Tooth Implant involves placing one dental implant into the jawbone where the natural tooth is missing. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to restore the tooth’s appearance and function.

This treatment is ideal for patients who have lost a single tooth due to injury, decay, or other dental conditions and want a long-term, durable solution.

Who Is a Candidate for a Single Tooth Implant?

Patients with one missing tooth due to trauma, decay, or congenital absence

Individuals seeking a permanent, non-removable tooth replacement

Patients who want to preserve adjacent healthy teeth

The Single Tooth Implant Procedure

The procedure begins with a thorough dental examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging to assess bone density and plan precise implant placement. If necessary, bone grafting may be performed prior to implant placement.

A titanium implant is then surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root. Over a few months, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for the crown.

Crown Placement

Once the implant has fully integrated, a custom-made dental crown is attached. This crown is designed to match the color, shape, and size of the surrounding natural teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance.
