What to
Expect
During the Single Tooth Implant Process?
- Dental Implant Placement : The procedure begins with the administration of local anaesthesia to ensure you feel no discomfort. For very anxious patients, sedation is also an option. Once the area is numb, a small incision is made in the gum tissue, and after preparation the artificial root (implant) is inserted into the bone. The implant is then left to heal for several months. In many cases, a temporary crown can be placed on the same day. During your consultation and diagnostic visit, we will determine whether this option suits your specific situation.
- Abutment Placement : After the implant has been integrated into the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant (the final crown will be placed over this). An impression is taken to create the permanent crown. Together we will choose the best shade to send to the lab to ensure a natural-looking final result, by matching the crown to your surrounding teeth.
- Dental Crown Placement : Once the custom made porcelain crown is ready from the lab, it is fixed to the abutment. Any necessary bite adjustments will be made to ensure comfort and functionality.

Other
Treatment options
for replacing a single tooth:
Several treatment options are available for replacing a single tooth. Let’s explore the advantages and disadvantages of each option in detail:
1
Single Tooth Dental Implant and Crown
A dental implant is an excellent option. It involves placing an artificial root into the jawbone, onto which a custom crown is attached. This is the standard for single tooth replacement, offering a permanent solution without harming gum health or needing to drill surrounding teeth. Unlike natural teeth, implant crowns do not decay and rarely need replacement. However, brushing is essential for implant health.
2
Traditional 3 - Tooth Bridge
This method involves bridging a false tooth, known as a “pontic”, between two crowns that are cemented onto the adjacent teeth. The main drawback of this option is that the adjacent teeth must be filed down to accommodate the crowns. Moreover, traditional bridges often need replacing after several years, making it a less permanent solution compared to implants.
3
Cantilever Bridge
Similar to a traditional bridge, but with only one supporting tooth, a cantilever bridge consists of a pontic attached to a single adjacent tooth. Due to being anchored on only one side, this type of bridge is prone to complications such as fracturing the supporting tooth or becoming loose due to the uneven pressure during chewing.
4
Maryland Bridge
Typically used for replacing a single front tooth, a Maryland bridge features a false tooth with small “wing-like” extensions on each side, which are bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth. This method is considered more conservative because it doesn’t require the adjacent teeth to be ground down, unlike traditional bridges. However, Maryland bridges are less durable or can sometimes need recementing back in.
5
Removable Partial Denture
A partial denture that replaces a single missing tooth can be prone to move around unlike an implant. They serve as a temporary solution while waiting for a more permanent replacement.
