What are Single Tooth Implants?
Single tooth implants are dental restorations that replace a missing tooth and its root. They consist of a titanium implant, an abutment, and a custom-made crown, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
How do Single Tooth Implants work?
The process involves surgically placing a titanium implant into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time (osseointegration). Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom crown is placed to complete the restoration.
What are the benefits of Single Tooth Implants?
- Provides a permanent and stable solution for a missing tooth.
- Restores chewing and speaking functionality.
- Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure.
- Blends seamlessly with natural teeth for a natural appearance.
