Meet the team →Single Dental Implant — Your Questions Answered
Honest answers to the questions patients ask most.
What is a single dental implant?⌄
A single dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of one missing tooth. It's topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like your natural tooth.
How long does a single implant procedure take?⌄
The implant placement takes about 1-2 hours. The complete process from consultation to final crown takes 3-6 months, allowing time for the implant to integrate with your jawbone.
Is a single implant better than a bridge?⌄
Yes, single implants preserve adjacent healthy teeth since they don't require alteration of neighboring teeth like bridges do. They also prevent bone loss and last longer - typically 25+ years versus 10-15 for bridges.
Will my single implant look natural?⌄
Absolutely! The custom crown is made to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size. Most people won't be able to tell which tooth is the implant.
How do I care for my single implant?⌄
Care for your single implant just like a natural tooth - brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups. With proper care, it can last a lifetime.
