What is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single tooth implant is a dental solution designed to replace a single missing tooth. It’s ideal for individuals who have lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or gum disease. Missing teeth can impact both your smile and your bite, causing surrounding teeth to shift out of place. Replacing a missing tooth quickly is crucial to maintain the proper alignment of your teeth and avoid further dental issues.
How Single Tooth Implants Work
The process of getting a single tooth implant typically involves the following steps:
- Initial Consultation – Your journey begins with a detailed dental examination. During this consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, take x-rays, and discuss the available options. A personalized treatment plan will be created to cater to your specific requirements.
- Placement of the Implant – The next phase involves surgically placing the titanium implant into the jawbone. This post serves as the foundation for the artificial tooth.
- Osseointegration – Once the implant is placed, the jawbone begins to naturally fuse with the titanium post in a process known as osseointegration. This ensures the implant is securely anchored and stable. This phase can take several months, ensuring lasting results.
- Abutment Placement – After osseointegration is complete, an abutment is added to the implant. This component connects the implant to the replacement tooth.
- Crown Placement – The final step is the placement of a custom-made porcelain crown on the abutment. The crown is designed to blend perfectly with your natural teeth in terms of shape, size, and color, providing a seamless look.
