What Are Single-Tooth Implants?
Losing a tooth or several teeth can negatively impact a patient's appearance and oral health. It is essential to seek care for a missing tooth or teeth as soon as possible, as gaps in your mouth can lead to more serious problems in the future. At San Ramon Family Dental in San Ramon, CA, Dr. Rupam Khanna can replace a missing tooth with single-tooth implants. Single-tooth implants use small titanium posts placed into the jawbone as an artificial root to ensure a strong, long-lasting dental restoration.
How Are Single-Tooth Implants Performed?
The implant process will begin with a thorough examination where we will assess your teeth and jawbone to ensure you have enough healthy bone to support the implant. Digital x-rays and impressions will be taken so a template can be created. Next, a simple surgical procedure will occur where the implant will be placed into the jawbone. It can take between 3 – 6 months for the bone to heal and fuse to the titanium post. This healing process is essential to create a firm foundation for the replacement tooth. After the jawbone has fully healed, the implant will be placed.
What Are the Benefits of Single-Tooth Implants?
Whether you have lost a tooth due to decay or trauma, single-tooth implants are an excellent option to help fill in the missing gap and renew your smile. Additionally, these implants offer our San Ramon, CA patients a host of benefits, such as:
- Easy to care for
- Improved speech
- Restores natural appearance and function
- Boosted confidence
- Long-lasting results
