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.
  • Natural Appearance: Both options are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Solid, Natural Chewing: Experience restored chewing power that feels remarkably similar to your natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without compromise.
  • Firm and Permanent Attachment: Unlike removable dentures, these solutions are securely and permanently fixed in your mouth, offering stability and confidence.
  • Significantly Lessens Bone Loss: Implants, in particular, help to prevent the bone loss that typically occurs after a tooth extraction, maintaining the integrity of your jawbone.
  • No Harm to Adjacent Teeth: Unlike some alternative treatments (like traditional bridges that require altering neighboring healthy teeth), single tooth implants stand alone, preserving the integrity of your adjacent 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 Implant Post (Body): This is the foundational piece, surgically placed within your jawbone, where it acts as a secure anchor, much like a natural tooth root.
  • Abutment: This component serves as the crucial connector, linking the implant post to the visible part of your tooth.
  • Crown: This is the part you see in your mouth. It's the custom-made restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth. In some cases, multiple implants can support an implant bridge, replacing several missing teeth.

Single Tooth Implants Timeline

The process typically takes 5-6 months 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 period ensures that the implant securely bonds with your bone.

Implant Exposure and Gum Shaping

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

Abutment and Crown Fabrication

Impressions of your mouth will be taken and sent to an external lab to create a custom abutment and crown. This usually takes 3-4 weeks.

Abutment and Crown Installation

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