What Are Single Tooth Implants?
Single tooth replacement is a common dental procedure that can restore the appearance and functionality of a patient’s smile. The process typically involves the placement of a dental implant, which is a small titanium post that is surgically implanted into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for the missing tooth root. This implant acts as a strong and stable foundation for the artificial tooth that will be attached to it.
The Process of Single Tooth Implant Placement
A single tooth implant can provide a long-term solution for restoring the function and appearance of a missing tooth.
Here are the steps involved in the process:
Initial Consultation
The first step is to consult with us to determine if you are a good candidate for a dental implant. During this visit, we will examine your mouth and take x-rays to assess the condition of your jawbone and the surrounding teeth. We will also discuss your medical history and any medications you are taking.
Preparatory Procedures
Before the implant can be placed, any remaining tooth material or debris must be removed from the site of the missing tooth. If the jawbone is not strong enough to support the implant, a bone graft may be required to build up the bone density.
Implant Placement
The next step is to surgically place the implant post into the jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anaesthesia, and we will make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the jawbone. The implant post is then carefully placed into the bone and covered with a protective cap to allow the site to heal.
Healing Period
It usually takes 3-4 months for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. During this time, you will need to follow a strict oral hygiene regimen to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.
Abutment Placement
Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a small connector post called an abutment is attached to the implant post. This abutment serves as the foundation for the replacement tooth.
Artificial Tooth Placement
Finally, the replacement tooth, also known as a crown, is attached to the abutment. The crown is custom-made to match the size, shape, and colour of the surrounding teeth for a natural-looking result.

Tips For Long-lasting Single Tooth Implants
The success of your single tooth implant largely depends on your post-operative care and maintenance. Here are some tips to help ensure that your single tooth implant lasts as long as possible:
- Regularly brush and floss your teeth to help keep your implant and surrounding teeth clean and free of bacteria.
- Refrain from biting into hard foods such as ice, hard candy, or popcorn kernels, as they can cause damage to your implant or crown.
- Quit smoking and reduce alcohol consumption to significantly improve the chances of successful implant integration.
- Attend regular dental check-up and cleans at Belmont Dental Surgery to maintain good oral health and ensuring the longevity of your implant.
- Wear a mouthguard to protect your implant and teeth if you participate in contact sports or other activities that pose a risk of injury.
