Understanding Single Tooth Implants

A single-tooth implant is a permanent tooth replacement solution that consists of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like your natural tooth. This innovative treatment provides the most natural and durable solution for replacing a missing tooth, without compromising adjacent healthy teeth.

Benefits of Single Tooth Implants

1.

Jawbone Preservation

Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.

2.

Tooth Protection

Unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth for support.

3.

Natural Function

Eat, speak, and smile with confidence knowing your implant functions just like a natural tooth.

4.

Easy Maintenance

Implants don’t require special cleaning routines — you can brush and floss them just like natural teeth.

Single-tooth dental implants integrate with your jawbone through osseointegration, creating a permanent foundation that preserves surrounding bone structure.

Single-Tooth Dental Implants FAQs

If you have any questions about dental implants, we’ve got answers.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during implant placement under local anesthesia. Post-operative pain is typically mild and well-managed with over-the-counter medications.

The cost varies based on individual treatment needs and complexity. During your consultation, Dr. Sourvanos will provide transparent pricing and discuss CareCredit financing options.

Modern dental implants are typically made from titanium, which is MRI-compatible and will not be attracted to the magnetic field, making them safe during MRI scans. However, titanium implants may create minor image artifacts or distortion in the immediate area around the implant, which rarely interferes with diagnostic imaging.

Single-tooth dental implants replace both the root and crown of a missing tooth by surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which then fuses with the bone through osseointegration. Unlike bridges or partial dentures, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support and function independently.

In most cases, initial healing takes 1-2 weeks with mild swelling and discomfort; complete integration takes 3-6 months before the final crown placement.

Definition of common dental implants terminology

Abutment: The abutment is the connector piece between a dental implant and the crown.

Osseointegration: Osseointegration is the process by which your dental implant bonds and integrates with the surrounding bone.

Titanium: This is a strong metal that is often used for implants. It is also the same material used to make airplane wings, so you know it is very strong. This metal is also lightweight, which makes it perfect for implants.

Bone Graft: A dental bone graft is a procedure to add more bone in a part of the jaw where bone has been lost or where additional support is needed.

Dental Crown: A crown is an artificial tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over the top of the implant to provide an aesthetically pleasing and fully-functional tooth.

Dentures: A removable plate or frame holding one or more artificial teeth.
