A Single Tooth Implant: Your Permanent, Lifelong Solution
When you invest in a single tooth implant, you are choosing the most durable, long-lasting, and lifelike tooth replacement option available. So, how long can you expect it to last? With proper care, the implant itself is designed to last for the rest of your life. It is a truly permanent solution. At Smyrna Dental Studio, we combine expert surgical placement with the highest quality materials to ensure your new tooth is a lasting investment in your health and confidence.
The Lifespan of Your New Tooth: Two Key Components
A single tooth implant restoration is made of two parts, each with its own impressive lifespan.
The Implant Post (The New Root): This is the small titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone. Through a natural process called osseointegration, your bone fuses directly to the titanium, creating a rock-solid, permanent foundation. Because it becomes a part of your body, this implant post is designed to last a lifetime.
The Implant Crown (The New Tooth): This is the beautiful, custom-made porcelain tooth that is attached to the implant post. Like any natural tooth, it is subjected to daily biting and chewing forces. A high-quality implant crown will typically last for 15 to 25 years or even longer before it may need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear.
Replacing an implant crown is a simple, non-surgical procedure. It's like replacing the tire on a car; the engine (the implant) remains perfectly intact.
How to Ensure Your Single Tooth Implant Lasts a Lifetime
The incredible longevity of your implant is a partnership between our expert care and your at-home maintenance. Here are the most important factors for ensuring a lifetime of success.
Your Role: Simple Care for a Permanent Solution
Treat your implant just like a natural tooth.
Excellent Daily Hygiene: While the implant can't get a cavity, you must keep the gums around it healthy. Daily brushing and flossing (or using a water flosser) is crucial to prevent gum infections that could compromise the implant.
Routine Dental Visits: Visit our Smyrna studio for your regular six-month check-ups and cleanings. This allows us to monitor the health of your implant and the surrounding tissues, catching any potential issues when they are small and easy to manage.
Protect Your Investment: If you grind your teeth at night, a custom nightguard is the best way to protect your new implant crown from excessive, damaging forces.
Our Role: A Foundation of Precision and Quality
Expert Surgical Placement: The success of an implant starts with perfect placement. Our experienced dentists use advanced 3D imaging and computer-guided technology to place your implant with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Premium-Quality Materials: We use only the most reputable, biocompatible implant systems and the highest-grade porcelain for your crown, ensuring both durability and a beautiful, natural appearance.
