Single Tooth Dental Implants

Single Tooth Dental Implants

A single tooth implant is a dental procedure designed to replace a missing tooth. This type of implant is ideal for patients who have lost a single tooth due to trauma, decay or periodontal disease. When a tooth is missing, it can affect not only the aesthetics of your smile, but also the functionality of your bite, causing other teeth to shift around. Replacing a missing tooth promptly is important to prevent further dental issues and maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth.

How Single Tooth Dental Implants Work

Single tooth dental implants work by providing a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process:

• Consultation – The single tooth replacement process begins with a comprehensive dental examination and consultation at our clinic. During this appointment, our dentist will assess your oral health, take x-rays and discuss the available options. A customised treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs.
• Implant Placement – The next step involves the surgical insertion of the dental implant into the jawbone. The implant is a small titanium post that’s carefully positioned in the bone beneath the gum line.
• Osseointegration – After the single dental implant is placed, a phase called osseointegration occurs. This is when the jawbone naturally grows around the implant, integrating it securely into the bone. This process can take several months and ensures the stability of the implant.
• Abutment Placement – Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth.
• Crown Placement – The final step involves attaching a custom-made porcelain crown to the abutment. The crown is customised to match the shape, size and colour of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
