What is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single tooth implant is a cutting-edge dental solution designed to replace a missing tooth. This procedure involves surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, where it serves as an artificial tooth root. The implant is then topped with a custom-made crown that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Single tooth implants are a long-term, durable solution made from biocompatible materials, ensuring safety and longevity. They restore your smile while supporting normal chewing and speech functions.
Single tooth implants offer numerous advantages that make them an excellent choice for tooth replacement. They are designed to provide a natural look and feel, seamlessly matching your existing teeth for a flawless smile. One of their key benefits is that they prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, which helps maintain its structure and prevents deterioration over time. Additionally, implants restore chewing ability, allowing you to eat comfortably and enjoy the same functionality as a natural tooth. They require low maintenance, needing only regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups to stay in top condition. Lastly, single tooth implants boost confidence, enabling you to smile and speak with ease, knowing your dental restoration looks and feels completely natural.

|
| • |
Surgical Placement - The titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation for comfort.

Custom Crown Placement - A custom-designed crown is attached to the implant, completing your restoration. |
Every step is performed with precision and care to ensure optimal results. By the end of the process, your implant will look and function like a natural tooth.
