Single Dental Implants
What is a Single Dental Implant?
A single dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement solution that mimics the function of a natural tooth. It consists of three parts:
- Titanium Implant – Acts as the artificial tooth root, surgically placed in the jawbone.
- Abutment – Connects the implant to the crown.
- Custom Dental Crown – A natural-looking, custom-made tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Unlike dental bridges or dentures, a single implant does not require modifying adjacent teeth and prevents bone loss, making it the best long-term option for replacing a missing tooth.
