Causes of tooth darkening and how to treat it
Single Tooth Implant Procedure
The Single Tooth Implant Procedure includes several important steps:
Preparation and Initial Implant:
The dentist will make a small incision in the gums and drill a hole in the jawbone to place the implant. The incision will then be closed, and the implant will integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
Healing Period:
This process takes between 3 to 6 months, during which a temporary tooth will be placed for aesthetic purposes.
Final Stage:
After the healing period, the dentist will reopen the incision and add a base to the implant. Then, the restored or artificial tooth will be placed.
This process is usually performed in two stages, but it is also possible to do it in a single treatment if the conditions are suitable.
What is a Dental Implant for a Single Tooth?
A dental implant for a single tooth is an ideal solution for maintaining an aesthetic appearance and oral health without affecting the surrounding teeth. The implant serves as a replacement for the missing tooth and looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
Easy to clean: The implant can be maintained as clean as any other natural tooth.
Self-supporting: The implant does not affect or depend on the other teeth.
In some cases, where the jawbone is insufficient, a bone graft may be necessary before the tooth implant.
Types of Dental Implants for a Single Tooth
Immediate Single Tooth Replacement:
This treatment is performed in a single session but requires healthy jawbone and adequate support for the implant.
Central Incisor in Ceramic:
A strong and natural-looking artificial tooth. The tooth is made of ceramic, which is biocompatible and non-metallic, ensuring a natural appearance without exposed metal lines.
