Single Tooth Implants
A titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to permanently replace a single missing tooth with a natural-looking crown.
What is it
A titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone that fuses with bone over time, topped with a lifelike crown to permanently replace a single missing tooth from root to tip.
How it works
A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, allowed to fuse with the bone over several months, then topped with an abutment and a custom-made crown that matches the surrounding teeth.
How it helps
Replaces a missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth, preserves jawbone density, and provides a permanent, natural-looking result that functions just like a real tooth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients who have lost a single tooth due to decay, injury, or extraction and want a permanent replacement that doesn't involve altering neighboring teeth.
What is the typical experience?
The implant is placed in a short surgical appointment, followed by a healing period of several months before the crown is attached. Most patients find the process far more comfortable than expected and the final result indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
How long does it usually take?
The implant is placed in a short surgical appointment and the crown is attached three to six months later once integration is complete. The total process typically spans six to eight months from start to finish.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Implants require healthy gum tissue and adequate bone to integrate successfully. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and poor oral hygiene significantly increase the risk of implant failure and should be discussed with the dentist before treatment begins.
What should I know about recovery after?
Some soreness and swelling around the surgical site is normal for the first few days. Sticking to soft foods and following post-operative instructions helps protect the graft and supports smooth integration.
