Why Are Dental Implants Convenient for Single Tooth Replacement?

Dental implants offer numerous benefits when replacing a single missing tooth. For instance, they provide exceptional stability because they mimic the natural tooth root and give a firm foundation for your replacement tooth. Therefore, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about slippage or discomfort.

Moreover, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Unlike other options, such as bridges or dentures, implants don’t need to be replaced from time to time. This benefit not only saves you from future dental expenses but also allows you to enjoy a beautiful smile without the hassle of constant adjustments or replacements.

How Is a Single Dental Implant Placed?

If you’re a suitable candidate, we will surgically place a small titanium post, known as the dental implant, into your jawbone. This component acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a solid foundation for your replacement tooth. The implant fuses with the jawbone during the healing period, which typically lasts a few months.

Once the implant has fully healed, we attach a custom dental crown to the titanium post. The result is a seamless, functional, and aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement that restores your smile.

Is Single Tooth Replacement Painful?

Before placing the implant, we will numb the area with anesthesia to ensure you don’t feel pain during surgery. You may experience some minor discomfort or swelling after the procedure, but you can take care of these symptoms with ice packs and over-the-counter medication.

Can Anyone Get Dental Implants?

Most individuals with good overall health and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. We will examine your oral tissue and medical history to see if you have dental problems or other conditions that prevent you from being eligible, such as:

  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Underdeveloped jaw
  • Heavy tobacco use
