Single tooth implants represent a groundbreaking advancement in restorative dentistry, providing a durable and natural-looking solution for individuals missing a single tooth.

If you're seeking a replacement option that seamlessly restores both aesthetics and functionality, consulting with our prosthodontist about single tooth implants is essential.

With approximately 5 million implants placed yearly in the United States, as reported by the American Dental Association (ADA), single tooth implants have become a significant component of restorative dental procedures.

In Greensboro, our dental experts meticulously assess each case to ensure a successful procedure and optimal outcomes.

What is the Best Option to Replace One Tooth?

A dental implant is a restorative dental procedure designed to replace a missing tooth with a lifelike prosthetic. This innovative treatment involves surgically placing a titanium implant into the jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root.

Through a process called osseointegration, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone, providing a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Once integration is complete, a customized crown is attached to the implant, replicating the appearance and function of a natural tooth.

At Phillips Prosthodontics, we recommend single tooth implants as an effective solution that preserves bone density and adjacent teeth integrity while restoring your smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Single tooth implants offer numerous advantages, making them an ideal choice for tooth replacement.

•	Permanent Solution: Provides a permanent and lifelike replacement for the missing tooth, enhancing both aesthetics and oral function.
•	Preservation of Adjacent Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, single tooth implants do not require altering surrounding teeth, preserving their integrity.
•	Bone Stimulation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure over time.
•	Durability: With proper maintenance, single tooth implants can last a lifetime, offering superior longevity compared to other replacement options.
•	Comfort and Confidence: Eliminates the inconvenience and discomfort of removable dentures, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile confidently.

If you're seeking a comprehensive and long-term solution for restoring dental health and improving your quality of life, single tooth implants may be the ideal choice.

Single Tooth Replacement Procedure

The implant placement procedure is a meticulous surgical process that involves:

•	Local Anesthesia: Administration of anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
•	Incision and Site Preparation: Making an incision in the gum tissue and creating a small hole in the jawbone for implant placement.
•	Implant Insertion: Careful placement of the titanium implant into the prepared site, followed by suturing of the gum tissue.
•	Osseointegration: The implant fuses with the surrounding bone over several months, providing a stable foundation for the prosthetic tooth.
•	Abutment Placement (if necessary): Attaching an abutment to the implant to connect it with the artificial tooth.

In Greensboro, we prioritize meticulous surgical techniques and comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.

Determining Candidacy for Dental Implants

While dental implants offer transformative benefits, not everyone is an ideal candidate for the procedure. Factors considered in determining candidacy include:

•	Dental Health: Good oral hygiene and sufficient bone density are essential for successful implant placement.
•	Missing Tooth Evaluation: Assessment of the location and impact of the missing tooth on bite function and aesthetics.
•	Overall Health: General well-being plays a crucial role in recovery and implant success.
•	Age and Bone Development: Adequate bone development is necessary for implant stability, with considerations for adolescents and older adults.
•	Lifestyle Factors: Smoking and tobacco use can increase the risk of implant failure and complications.
•	Commitment to Oral Care: Maintenance of excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are vital for implant success and longevity.
