A single tooth implant is a replacement for a missing tooth and its root.
First, a titanium implant, a root replacement is gently placed into your jawbone through a simple procedure.
Then, it becomes the anchor for a connector (the blue bit in the photo) and a custom-made and hand painted dental crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
You’ll have a full smile and be able to eat again in no time.
Sometimes life throws us a curveball and losing a tooth certainly is one. Accidents happen and often trauma can be a reason for a single dental implant. Injuries, tooth decay, gum disease, or a failed dental procedure may necessitate the removal of a tooth.
But here’s the good news – regardless of the cause, a single dental implant can effectively replace the missing tooth, restoring both aesthetics and functionality to your smile.
The process of getting a single dental implant typically involves several steps and we’re with you every step of the way:
Initial Complimentary Chat:
We offer a handful of free consultations monthly for you to find out more about single dental implants, assess your suitability and ask any questions.
The 3 Part Consultation Process:
The most comprehensive dental health check you’ve ever had. Our dentists will look at your whole mouth to ensure your single tooth implant is placed in a healthy, disease-free environment. They’ll take measurements, x-rays, scans and 3D x-rays to start planning your case.
Implant Placement:
The titanium implant is precisely placed, guided by ultra high-tech digital planning. This implant will serve as the strong and stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
Osseointegration:
Over the next few months, a process called osseointegration takes place, where your implant and body become best of friends. The implant fuses with the surrounding bone, ensuring a secure and long-lasting result.
Abutment Placement:
An abutment is attached to the implant. This small connector protrudes above the gumline, allowing us to securely attach the final piece of the puzzle – your hand-crafted crown.
Dental Crown Placement:
Finally, a custom-made dental crown is made to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth. This crown is then securely attached to the abutment.
