What Is a Single-Tooth Dental Implant?
A single-tooth dental implant is an advanced tooth replacement solution. It involves surgically placing a titanium post into your jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. This post provides a sturdy foundation for a custom-made dental crown, creating a natural-looking and fully functional replacement for your missing tooth.
Single-tooth implants are suitable for individuals with one missing tooth or a single missing tooth in multiple locations. Other dental implant options are available for those in need of replacing multiple missing teeth in a row.
Benefits of Single-Tooth Implants
At AZ Implant & Denture Center, we believe single-tooth implants offer numerous advantages:
- Natural appearance and function
- Preservation of adjacent teeth
- Long-lasting durability
- Improved oral health
- Enhanced confidence and quality of life
- Prevention of bone loss
- Easy maintenance
Single-Tooth Implant Procedure
The single-tooth implant process at AZ Implant & Denture Center typically involves:
- Initial consultation and treatment planning: During this phase, the dental professional will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment options, and create a personalized plan for your dental implant procedure.
- Implant placement surgery: This involves the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone. The dental surgeon will carefully position the implant to ensure proper alignment and stability.
- Healing and osseointegration period: After the implant placement, a period of healing and osseointegration follows. This is when the implant integrates with the surrounding bone tissue, forming a strong foundation for the replacement tooth. This process usually takes around three to six months.
- Abutment attachment: Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as a connector for the replacement tooth or crown.
- Custom crown placement: Finally, a custom crown is secured onto the abutment. The crown is designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
Our in-house dental lab allows us to create perfectly matched, high-quality crowns for a seamless result. We’ll guide you through each step, ensuring your comfort and understanding throughout the process.
Candidates for Single-Tooth Implants
Ideal candidates for single-tooth implants include those with:
- One or more missing teeth
- Good oral health
- Sufficient jawbone density
- A commitment to maintaining good oral hygiene
Supplemental procedures such as a sinus lift or bone grafting may be available to prepare your mouth for dental implants, even if you don’t meet all the criteria.
