FAQ’s
A single-tooth dental implant is a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root. It’s carefully placed in the jawbone, acting as a secure foundation for a custom-made crown. This implant mimics the natural structure and function of your lost tooth, providing a long-term solution without affecting the surrounding teeth.
You may need a single-tooth implant if you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or other dental issues. At Providence Dental Practice, we often recommend this treatment as it replaces the missing tooth while preserving the integrity of your neighboring teeth. The implant prevents adjacent teeth from shifting and helps maintain the health of your jawbone, which can deteriorate over time without the stimulation provided by a natural tooth.
Choosing a single-tooth implant comes with numerous benefits. Not only do implants look and feel like your natural teeth, but they also allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Unlike other options like bridges, dental implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, helping to maintain the health and alignment of your remaining teeth. Additionally, implants help to prevent bone loss in the jaw, preserving your facial structure.
At Providence Dental Practice, the implant process involves a few stages. First, the titanium post is inserted into the jawbone in a precise procedure. This is followed by a healing period where the implant fuses with the bone to create a strong foundation. After the implant has successfully bonded, we attach a custom-made crown to complete the restoration. Our team ensures that the entire process is comfortable, with close guidance and follow-ups throughout the treatment.
The overall timeline for receiving a single-tooth implant varies depending on individual healing times, but typically it spans several months. After the initial placement of the implant, it usually takes 3 to 6 months for the post to fully integrate with the jawbone. Once healed, we place the custom crown, and the treatment is complete. Though the process takes time, the result is a durable, long-lasting solution that closely mimics your natural tooth.
