How Single-Tooth Implants Work

Replace One Tooth, Reclaim Your Smile

The single-tooth implant process starts with a thorough consultation, including X-rays to evaluate your jawbone and oral health. Once your candidacy is confirmed, a titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a secure root. After a healing period that allows the implant to integrate with the bone, a custom-designed crown is attached, restoring both function and appearance seamlessly.

FAQs

What is a single-tooth implant made of?

The implant consists of a titanium post, an abutment, and a custom crown designed to match your natural teeth.

The placement process typically takes 1–2 hours, followed by a healing period before attaching the crown.

With sedation and local anesthesia, the procedure is virtually pain-free, and post-operative discomfort is manageable.

With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a highly durable solution.

Most patients with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are suitable candidates for implants.
