Single Tooth Dental Implant
The lack of a tooth, usually lost as a result of an accident or damaged by decay, can be easily replaced by implanting a tooth (which works like a tooth root) and fixing a dental crown (which imitates the color and shape of the natural tooth) onto this dental implant. This treatment is called single tooth implant.
Most of the time, the surgery is very simple and quick and, depending on the type of implant chosen, the patient can be rehabilitated with the final definitive prosthesis in just a few months. This applies to both single and total implants.
Nowadays there are fast-healing implants, Slactive implants, for which osseointegration takes place in 1 month. In this way, the patient’s self-esteem and quality of life can be restored in a short space of time. In addition, there are now very modern treatments without the use of any metal. This is possible with the ceramic implant and the Pure Zirconia Crown, or Cerec Pure Porcelain.
The loss of one tooth leads to problems with the other teeth
Dental implants are certainly an effective solution for restoring the aesthetics and functionality of the smile. The absence of a tooth can compromise the aesthetics of the smile, but also its functionality. Missing teeth trigger bone resorption at the site, which can be prevented by implanting a single tooth. Bone loss varies from person to person, but in advanced cases it can unbalance dental occlusion.
In this way, neighboring and opposing teeth can move. For example, a person loses a back tooth in the lower arch and doesn’t replace it. The opposing upper tooth, which until then made contact with the lower tooth, loses its support and tends to move downwards over time. Dental malocclusion facilitates the development of problems such as plaque build-up, tooth decay and TMJ dysfunction. Therefore, the single loss of a tooth can lead to imbalances in neighboring teeth, and needs to be addressed with a dental implant.

Take a look at this dental implant treatment for a front tooth. Firstly, an individual dental implant was made and a temporary crown installed on the day of surgery. Secondly, after the dental implant had healed, we made the dental crown, a fixed zirconia prosthesis over the implant. Natural results and rapid rehabilitation.

Benefits of single tooth implants
Therefore, a single-tooth dental implant has many benefits over other treatment alternatives, the main ones being:
- Neighboring teeth remain intact
- The new crown is attached directly to the implant, which makes it possible to floss like a natural tooth
- Excellent aesthetic and functional results
- Ease of treatment, as the prosthetic components are prefabricated (approximately four sessions)
- Unaffected by caries and infiltration
- It is possible to place a temporary crown immediately after implant placement(immediate loading)
- The installation of the implant prevents or stops bone resorption.
