Single Tooth Implant
Single Tooth Implant Replacement in Metuchen, NJ
Dental implants are a popular and effective treatment way to replace missing teeth. They are designed to provide a strong and stable foundation for dental prosthetics, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. Unlike other tooth replacement solutions, dental implants are placed directly into the jawbone, providing a long-term solution that will last a long time with proper care. Single tooth implants are typically used to replace a single natural tooth and may be supported by adjacent natural teeth.

What is a single tooth implant?
An implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as the new tooth root for a missing tooth. A single tooth implant is used to support a single dental crown. The implant is placed in the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone, a process known as osseointegration. Once the implant fuses with your jawbone, it acts as a new root for the dental crown, providing secure and stable support.
Single tooth implants are an option for replacing a missing tooth and can provide many benefits. These benefits can include:
- Improved appearance: Single tooth implants can help improve the overall appearance of your smile when you have suffered from tooth loss.
- Improved oral health: Single tooth implants can help improve your health by preventing gum disease and protecting the rest of your healthy teeth.
- Increased comfort: Single tooth implants are more comfortable than other tooth replacement options, such as dentures.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The single implant procedure typically involves two surgical steps. First, the post is placed into the jawbone. Once the post has healed, and fusion has occurred, an abutment (connecting piece) is placed on top of the post, and a dental prosthetic (crown, bridge, or denture) is attached to the abutment. The entire process will typically take several months to complete.
Dental implants are solid and stable and can last for many years with proper care. In addition, dental implants can help to preserve healthy bone tissue in the jaw and prevent surrounding natural teeth from shifting out of place due to bone loss.
