Single Tooth Implants: What to Expect

Introduction:

A single tooth implant is a long-lasting solution for replacing one missing tooth. It looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth—without affecting nearby teeth.

The Initial Consultation

Your dentist examines your mouth, takes X-rays or scans, and checks bone health. This step confirms if you’re a good candidate and helps plan the procedure.

Implant Placement and Healing

The implant is placed into the jawbone, where it gradually fuses with the bone during healing. This process creates a strong foundation for the replacement tooth.

Final Crown Placement

Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant. The result is a natural-looking, fully functional tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Conclusion:

Single tooth implants offer a reliable, natural solution for missing teeth. With proper care, they restore comfort, confidence, and long-term oral health.
