Single-tooth implants

A missing tooth can have a big impact on your confidence and your oral health, whether it happened during a sports game, an accident, or because of decay. You might notice that you chew differently, cover your mouth when you laugh, or feel a constant gap that your tongue is unable to fill.

You might even forget it’s not your original tooth because modern dentistry offers a solution that is close to the real thing.

What Exactly Is a Single Tooth Implant?

Both parts—the crown and the root—are replaced in a single-tooth implant.

There are three basic components:

  1. The implant post: It is a small, screw-like post made of biocompatible titanium. This becomes the new “root” of your tooth.
  2. The Abutment: A small connector piece that rests on top of the implant post.
  3. The Crown: The specially designed ceramic tooth that attaches to the abutment. 

Unlike bridges or dentures, it is a self-supporting, independent structure that restores your smile without impacting the health of your other teeth.

Why Choose an Implant?

Selecting a dental implant is an investment. We take care of your entire oral health.

Preserving Healthy Teeth: During this process, your adjacent healthy teeth remain strong and undamaged.

  • Bone Health: An implant keeps your jawbone healthy and strong, working like a natural root
  • Easier Hygiene: You can brush and floss right between the teeth just like your natural teeth.

The Journey to a Restored Smile

The process of a single-tooth implant is smooth and comfortable. Here is what you can expect during your journey. 

Step 1: The Consultation and Planning

During the first visit, we examine your mouth using advanced 3D imaging. This allows us to plan the exact placement of the implant. 

Step 2: Placing the “Root”

The implant is gently inserted into the jawbone. This is a minor surgical procedure.

Step 3: Healing and Bonding

Over the next few months, a process called osseointegration occurs, during which your jawbone grows around the titanium post.

Step 4: The Finishing Touch

Your custom-made crown will be attached after the healing process. Master ceramists are used to ensure the color and shape match your adjacent teeth perfectly.
