A single tooth implant is one of the most advanced and natural-looking solutions for replacing a missing tooth. At Monroe Dental and Implants, single tooth implants are designed to restore your smile’s appearance, strength, and function while preserving long-term oral health.
Dental implants replace both the tooth and its root, providing unmatched stability and comfort.
What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single tooth implant consists of three parts:
- A titanium implant post placed in the jawbone
- An abutment that connects the implant to the crown
- A custom dental crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth
Once healed, the implant integrates with the bone, creating a strong and permanent foundation.
When Is a Single Tooth Implant Needed?
Single tooth implants are ideal for patients missing one tooth due to injury, decay, or extraction.
They are recommended when:
- A single tooth is missing
- Surrounding teeth are healthy
- You want a fixed, long-term solution
- You want to avoid altering adjacent teeth
- You want the most natural replacement option
Benefits of Single Tooth Implants
Single tooth implants offer significant advantages over bridges or removable options.
Benefits include:
- Natural look and feel
- Preservation of jawbone density
- No damage to neighboring teeth
- Strong, stable chewing function
- Long-lasting and durable solution
Implants function just like natural teeth.
The Single Tooth Implant Process
The implant process occurs in stages and is carefully planned for long-term success.
Typical steps include:
- Comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning
- Surgical placement of the implant post
- Healing period for bone integration
- Placement of the custom abutment and crown
Each step is performed with comfort and precision in mind.
A Permanent, Confident Smile
Single tooth implants are designed to last many years with proper care. They restore confidence, function, and oral health without compromising nearby teeth.
Caring for a Dental Implant
To maintain your implant:
- Brush and floss daily
- Maintain regular dental checkups
- Avoid chewing excessively hard objects
- Practice good oral hygiene
Implants require the same care as natural teeth.
