Single Implants

A single-tooth dental implant is a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing a missing tooth. If you have lost a tooth due to decay, injury or extraction, our dentists may recommend a single-tooth dental implant to restore your smile. This type of implant involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for the tooth root. After a healing period, an implant crown will be attached to the post, completing your treatment.

Single-tooth implants offer several advantages compared to other tooth replacement options. Unlike dental bridges, which rely on adjacent teeth for support, implants do not require alteration of surrounding healthy teeth. The implant is fully integrated into the jawbone, which not only ensures stability but also helps maintain bone density and prevent bone loss. This can be important for preserving your facial structure and avoiding the sunken appearance that sometimes occurs with missing teeth.

Another benefit of a single-tooth implant is its natural appearance. The implant crown is customized to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth in both color and shape, making it nearly indistinguishable from your natural tooth. Additionally, implants are easy to care for with routine brushing and flossing, just like your natural teeth, and do not require any special cleaning procedures like some other replacement options.

Dental implants are also built to last. With proper care, which includes good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist, your implant can remain in place for a lifetime. While most patients are good candidates for a single-tooth implant, some may require additional procedures, such as bone grafting, if there is insufficient bone density. Our experienced dentists will evaluate your individual case and guide you through the process.
