single tooth implant

Whether trauma, decay, or genetics have deprived you of a tooth, we have the perfect solution for you: single tooth implants. Say goodbye to sacrificing adjacent teeth for a bridge, and hello to a beautiful and complete smile!

What Are Single Tooth Implants?  

When Do You Need a Single-Tooth Implant?

Single tooth implants are recommended for individuals who experience tooth loss due to various conditions, such as:

  • Tooth decay

  • Trauma or injury

  • Periodontal disease

  • Congenital absence of a tooth

  • Failed root canal treatment

  • Severe tooth fracture

Can Anyone Get Single Tooth Implants?

You're likely a suitable candidate for a single tooth implant if:

  • Your gum tissue is healthy

  • You're committed to maintaining proper oral hygiene after the procedure

  • Your jawbone has enough density to support the implant

  • You're not a heavy smoker

  • You're in good overall health

However, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our team to determine the best approach for your needs.

How Are Single Tooth Implants Different from Bridges?

Unlike dental bridges that rely on neighboring teeth for support, single tooth implants stand independently. In other words, adjacent healthy teeth are not compromised or altered to accommodate the restoration.

With a single tooth implant, you can preserve the integrity of your surrounding teeth while enjoying a natural-looking and durable solution.

Is the Procedure Painful?

During the single tooth implant procedure, you'll be given local anesthesia to prevent pain and discomfort. Afterward, you might feel sore and notice some swelling, but these symptoms are normal and should go away after a few days.  

We will guide you with easy instructions on how to take care of yourself after the procedure. If needed, we will also recommend medications to help with any problems while you're recovering.

Care Tips After Single Tooth Implant Surgery

To ensure the success and longevity of your single tooth implant, please follow proper care guidelines after surgery, such as brushing gently around the implant area, flossing, and following a balanced diet.  

You should also refrain from smoking, chewing on hard foods, or adopting other habits that can hinder the healing process. Remember to be mindful of your mouth's comfort and contact us if you experience any unusual symptoms.
