Yes, you can get just one dental implant. A single-tooth dental implant is an excellent solution for replacing a missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, which require grinding down adjacent teeth, a dental implant stands independently, preserving the integrity of your natural teeth .
Natural Appearance and Functionality:
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. They provide the strength and stability needed to eat all your favorite foods without struggling.
Longevity:
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.
Bone Preservation:
When you lose a tooth, the jawbone in the empty space deteriorates due to lack of stimulation. A dental implant is the only tooth replacement option that also replaces the tooth root, helping to maintain the jawbone.
Initial Consultation
Our experienced dentists, Dr. Raheel Thobani, Dr. Leslie Patrick, and Dr. Natasha Kanchwala, will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if you're a suitable candidate for a dental implant.
Implant Placement
A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a sturdy foundation for the replacement tooth.
Healing Period
Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring stability.
Abutment and Crown Placement
Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown is placed, completing the restoration.
