The Ideal Solution for Missing Teeth
A single tooth implant is designed to replace both the root and crown of a missing tooth, providing a permanent solution that doesn't affect adjacent teeth.
Unlike traditional bridges that require filing down neighboring teeth, dental implants stand alone, preserving your natural tooth structure while providing exceptional stability and function.
Our single tooth implants are made from biocompatible titanium that integrates with your jawbone, creating a strong foundation for your custom-made porcelain crown that matches your natural teeth perfectly.
Benefits of Single Tooth Implants
- ✓ Preserves jawbone and prevents bone loss
- ✓ Looks and functions like your natural teeth
- ✓ No damage to adjacent healthy teeth
- ✓ Easy to clean and maintain
- ✓ Long-lasting, often lifetime solution
Our Single Tooth Implant Process
We'll examine your oral health, take 3D scans, and create a personalized treatment plan for your single tooth implant.
The titanium implant post is surgically placed in your jawbone, functioning as an artificial tooth root.
Over 3-6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
Once healed, we attach an abutment to the implant post, which will connect to your final crown.
Your custom-made porcelain crown is attached to the abutment, completing your restoration.
We'll provide guidance on caring for your implant and schedule regular check-ups to ensure its longevity.
