A single tooth implant consists of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a root for a replacement tooth (crown). This implant integrates with the bone over time, providing a strong foundation for the crown.
Benefits of Single Tooth Implants:
- Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless smile.
- Durability: With proper care, single tooth implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term solution for tooth loss.
- Jawbone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.
Who is a Good Candidate for Single Tooth Implants?
- Individuals with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to support the implant.
- Those who are missing a single tooth due to decay, injury, or other reasons.
- Patients looking for a permanent solution to restore their smile.
