Single Tooth Implants

Single Tooth Implants in Carleton Place

Single Tooth Implants

If you're missing just one tooth, a single dental implant offers a long-lasting, natural-looking solution. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support, a dental implant replaces the entire tooth structure—including the root—without affecting surrounding healthy teeth.

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant consists of three main parts:

  1. Implant Post: A small titanium screw placed into your jawbone that acts as an artificial tooth root.
  2. Abutment: A connector piece that attaches to the implant and holds the crown in place.
  3. Crown: A custom-made artificial tooth designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in shape and color.

Why Choose a Single Tooth Implant?

  • Preserves Healthy Teeth: No need to grind down neighboring teeth like you would with a traditional dental bridge.
  • Prevents Bone Loss: The implant stimulates your jawbone, helping to prevent the bone deterioration that often occurs with missing teeth.
  • Long-Lasting & Durable: With proper care, a single implant can last decades—or even a lifetime.
  • Improved Appearance & Function: Your new tooth will look, feel, and function just like a natural one, restoring your smile and bite.
  • Easy to Maintain: You can brush and floss around the implant just like a natural tooth.

Who Is a Candidate for a Single Tooth Implant?

Most healthy adults with sufficient bone in the jaw are good candidates. If you've recently lost a tooth—or have a failing one that needs replacement—a consultation will determine if a single implant is the right option for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Consultation & Planning: Your dentist will take X-rays or 3D scans to evaluate your bone structure and plan your treatment.
  2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
  3. Healing Period: Over a few months, the implant fuses with your bone through a process called osseointegration.
  4. Crown Placement: Once healed, the final crown is attached, completing your new tooth.
