What Are Single Tooth Implants?
Single-tooth implants are dental implants that are used to replace a single missing tooth. They are made up of a small screw that is implanted into the jawbone and a dental crown that is attached to the screw.
Single-tooth implants are more expensive than traditional dentures, but they are more stable and they look more natural.
The Single Tooth Implant Placement Process
A single tooth implant can provide a long-term solution for restoring the function and appearance of a missing tooth. Here’s an overview of the process:
Initial Assessment
Your dentist will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a dental implant.
Implant Placement
During a surgical procedure, the dental implant (artificial tooth root) is placed into the jawbone beneath the gumline. The implant will serve as a sturdy foundation for the replacement tooth.
Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the jawbone will naturally fuse with the implant through a process called osseointegration. This integration provides stability and support for the implant.
Abutment Placement
Once osseointegration is complete, a connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment protrudes through the gumline and acts as an anchor for the prosthetic crown.
Crown Attachment
A custom-made dental crown, designed to match the surrounding teeth in shape, colour, and size, is then attached to the abutment. This crown serves as the visible and functional replacement for the missing tooth.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
The lifespan of a dental implant can vary depending on several factors.
Oral Hygiene
Just like natural teeth, dental implants require regular and thorough oral hygiene practices. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential to prevent issues such as gum disease and infection around the implant.
Overall Health
Certain medical conditions and habits, such as smoking, can impact the success of dental implants. Good overall health can contribute to the long-term success of implants.
Implant Quality
The quality of the dental implant itself, as well as the materials used, can play a role in how long it lasts. High-quality implants and components tend to have better longevity.
Bone Health
The health and density of the jawbone around the implant site are important factors. A strong and healthy jawbone provides better support for the implant.
Proper Implant Placement
Implants that are placed correctly and in a suitable location have a better chance of long-term success. Skillful implant placement by an experienced oral surgeon or dentist is crucial.
Regular Dental Check-ups
Regular dental visits allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your dental implants and address any issues early on.
