What are single tooth implants?

A single tooth implant is a three-part solution to replace a missing tooth. It consists of a small titanium post (implant) that's inserted into the jawbone, a connector (abutment) that attaches to the implant, and a custom-made ceramic crown that looks and feels like a natural tooth. The implant is placed in the jawbone and allowed to heal for a few months. Once healed, the abutment and crown are attached, creating a strong and natural-looking tooth replacement that can last for many years.

Who Can Have a Single Tooth Implant?

Single tooth implants are suitable for most adults who:

• Have lost a single tooth due to decay, injury, or gum disease.
• Have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant.
• Have good overall oral health.
• Are in good physical health.
• Do not have severe gum disease or tooth decay.

A dentist or oral surgeon will assess each individual's suitability for single tooth implants during a consultation.

What is the Procedure for a Tooth Replacement?

Here's a step-by-step guide to the single tooth implant procedure:

Step 1: Consultation and Planning

• Initial consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon
• Discussion of treatment options and expected outcomes
• Examination of the mouth, teeth, and jawbone
• X-rays, CT scans, or 3D imaging to assess jawbone density and tooth placement

Step 2: Implant Placement

• Administration of local anesthesia to numb the area
• Small incision made in the gum tissue to expose the jawbone
• Implant (titanium post) inserted into the jawbone
• Gum tissue stitched over the implant

Step 3: Osseointegration

• Healing period (3-6 months) for the implant to fuse with the jawbone
• Follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Step 4: Abutment Attachment

• Small incision made to expose the implant
• Abutment (connector) attached to the implant
• Gum tissue stitched around the abutment

Step 5: Crown Placement

• Impressions taken of the abutment and surrounding teeth
• Custom-made ceramic crown created
• Crown attached to the abutment

Step 6: Follow-up and Maintenance

• Follow-up appointments to check the implant and crown
• Regular dental check-ups and cleanings to maintain oral health
• Good oral hygiene practices to ensure the longevity of the implant

Lithium Disilicate (e.max): A type of ceramic material, lithium disilicate is known for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. It's often used for implant crowns and bridges.

Metal-Ceramic: A combination of metal (usually titanium or zirconia) and ceramic, metal-ceramic crowns offer strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Full-Metal (Titanium or Gold): Metal crowns are strong and durable, but may not be as aesthetically pleasing as ceramic or metal-ceramic options.

Composite Resin: A tooth-colored resin material, composite resin crowns are less expensive than ceramic or metal-ceramic options but may not be as durable.
