Single Tooth Dental Implants

Single-tooth dental implants comprise a titanium screw that is placed inside the jawbone and a prosthetic tooth that is held in place on top of it. Body-safe and biocompatible, the titanium screw acts as a peg for the new prosthesis and performs the same function as a natural tooth’s root.

Tooth replacement is incredibly important, whether you’ve been missing a tooth for a while or need to have one removed. The most common causes of such tooth loss or extraction are advanced gum disease, tooth decay, or a severe injury or accident to the face. You may also need a replacement due to advanced wear and tear.

The treatment time for a single-tooth dental implant usually takes several months.
