Single Tooth Implant

For individuals who have lost a tooth and are seeking a long-term solution, a single tooth implant can provide the best functional and aesthetic outcome. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, a single tooth dental implant maintains the integrity of surrounding teeth while preventing bone loss.

At Periodontal and Implant Surgeons of Houston, we offer customized single tooth implants in various shapes, sizes, and colors to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth. If you believe a single tooth implant is the right choice for you, contact our experienced team to schedule a consultation.

Who Needs Single Tooth Implants?

A single tooth implant procedure is ideal for patients missing a tooth due to trauma, decay, or other dental issues. This advanced treatment not only restores the aesthetics of your smile but also preserves the jawbone by maintaining the necessary pressure to support bone growth.

Unlike traditional bridges, a single tooth implant does not require the alteration of adjacent teeth. Instead, the implant integrates with the jawbone, providing a stable and permanent solution that feels and functions like a natural tooth. Patients can brush, floss, and care for their implant just like their other teeth, ensuring long-term oral health benefits.

Your Experience with a Single Tooth Implant

The single tooth implant procedure is a multi-step process that requires patience but delivers lasting results. The treatment typically takes a few weeks to several months, as the implant must properly integrate with the bone before final restoration.

The process involves three primary stages:

1. Implant Placement – A precise incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the bone, where a small hole is drilled to secure the implant post.

2. Abutment Placement – Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is attached to connect the crown securely. In some cases, a temporary healing cap is placed to promote proper tissue healing.

3. Crown Placement – A custom-designed crown, matched in color and shape to surrounding teeth, is placed onto the abutment. This final step completes the restoration, allowing the artificial tooth to function naturally.

With proper care, a single tooth dental implant can last for decades, providing unmatched stability and durability compared to alternative tooth replacement options.
