Restore Your Natural Smile with Our Single-Tooth Implant Solution
A lasting, lifelike replacement solution for missing teeth.
What is a Single-Tooth Implant?
A single-tooth implant is a modern method of replacing one lost tooth. It uses a small titanium post that is inserted into the jawbone. A specifically designed crown is next placed on the implant. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. This method offers a stable alternative to removable dentures and implants.
How It Functions Like a Natural Tooth
Stable Foundation:
The titanium post connects with the jawbone to build a solid foundation.
Custom Appearance:
The crown is designed, colored, and sized to match your existing teeth.
Normal Function:
It allows you to chew, speak, and smile without discomfort.
Why Choose a Single-Tooth Implant?
Single-tooth implants provide multiple benefits. Consider these key benefits:
-
Looks and Feels Like a Real Tooth: The implant was built to blend smoothly with your natural teeth.
-
Prevents Bone Loss and Maintains Jaw Health: The implant strengthens the jawbone, reducing bone loss and preserving bone density.
-
Does Not Affect Adjacent Teeth: Implants, unlike bridges, do not affect surrounding healthy teeth.
-
Long-Lasting and Durable: Implants are long-lasting and durable, providing long-term functionality with the proper care.
The Implant Process: Step-by-Step Overview
Consultation & Planning:
Your journey begins with an initial consultation. Our dentist, Dr. Le, will examine your mouth and review your dental history. Detailed imaging is used to develop a specific treatment plan. This step ensures that we understand what you require and create the best possible solution for you.
Implant Placement:
During the implant placement procedure, a titanium post is carefully placed into your jawbone. A local anesthetic is used to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process. This procedure is usually completed in a single visit. The implant placement sets the foundation for your new teeth.
Healing Period (Osseointegration):
After placement, a healing period is required. This period allows the titanium post to merge with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. Osseointegration provides a solid base for the final healing. The healing period can differ, but it is essential to long-term success.
Crown Placement:
Crown placement is the final stage after the implant has completely merged with the bone. A custom-made crown is designed to match your existing teeth. The crown is then attached to the implant. The final result is a natural-looking, permanent replacement.
