What Are Single-Tooth Implants?

A single-tooth implant is a dental prosthetic that restores just one missing tooth without impacting nearby teeth. It consists of three parts:

Titanium Post: Acts as an artificial tooth root anchored in the jawbone.
Abutment: Connects the implant post to the crown.
Porcelain Crown: The visible tooth-like replacement that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Benefits of Single-Tooth Dental Implants

Single-tooth implants are an excellent way to restore your smile and offer several advantages:

The Single-Tooth Implant Procedure

The process typically includes the following steps:

Preparation: Necessary prep work, such as periodontal treatment, bone or gum grafting, or tooth extraction, may be done beforehand.
Step 1: Implant Post Placement: Under local anesthesia, we will insert a titanium post into the jawbone. Afterward, a healing period of several weeks allows the post to integrate with the bone, potentially using a temporary crown in the meantime.
Step 2: Crown Placement: Once the area has healed, an abutment will connect the permanent porcelain crown to the implant, completing the procedure. The entire process generally takes a few months.

The cost of a single-tooth implant can vary depending on the tooth and work required, but generally falls between $3,500 and $7,000.

Recovery Process

Dr. Jon and Dr. Nick will provide specific aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery. You may experience mild discomfort post-surgery, but pain should subside quickly, and you can return to regular eating once your mouth has healed.
