What Are Single Tooth Implants & Bridges?

Both single tooth implants and bridges are excellent options for replacing missing teeth, providing numerous benefits compared to traditional solutions.
Both options are created to seamlessly blend in with your natural teeth, giving you a realistic and aesthetically pleasing smile. You can enjoy restored chewing power that closely resembles the feel of your natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without any restrictions. These solutions are securely and permanently fixed in your mouth, providing stability and confidence compared to removable dentures. Implants can help prevent bone loss that may happen after a tooth extraction, maintaining the strength of your jawbone. Single tooth implants stand alone and do not require altering neighboring healthy teeth, preserving the integrity of your natural teeth.

How It Works

A dental implant is a strong titanium screw that serves as a secure base for replacing one or more missing teeth. It consists of three main components:
  • The Process of Getting an Implant: The first step is to place the implant post into your jawbone, creating a stable foundation similar to a natural tooth root.
  • Abutment: This component connects the implant post to the visible part of your tooth, playing a vital role in the overall structure.
  • Crown: The crown is the visible part of the implant that looks and works like a natural tooth. In some cases, multiple implants can support an implant bridge to replace several missing teeth.

Single Tooth Implants Timeline

On average, the process typically takes 5-6 months to complete from start to finish.

Implant Placement and Integration

The implant body will be inserted into your jawbone and given four months to integrate. This important healing phase is necessary to establish a solid connection between the implant and your bone.

Implant Exposure and Gum Shaping

After the integration period, we will uncover the implants with a minor procedure. Your gums will have two weeks to naturally adapt to them.

Abutment and Crown Fabrication

Your mouth will be scanned to create a custom abutment and crown, which will be sent to an external lab. This process usually takes 3-4 weeks.

Abutment and Crown Installation

Once we have prepared your custom abutment and crown, we will carefully install them to finish your new tooth restoration.
