What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single dental implant is used to replace a missing tooth with a durable, natural-looking solution. The implant itself is typically made from titanium or titanium alloys and acts as a replacement for the tooth root. A custom crown is then placed on top, often made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, to match your natural teeth.

How Are Single Tooth Implants Placed?

A dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gums, where it serves as a stable foundation for a replacement tooth. After a healing period, a custom crown is attached to restore both function and appearance.

Candidates for dental implants should have healthy gums and sufficient bone structure to support the implant securely.
