The Structure of Single Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium prosthetic tooth root that is surgically implanted in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. A single dental implant has three main parts:

  1. Implant Fixture: This is a small titanium post that is surgically implanted into the jawbone to act as the root of the artificial tooth.
  2. Abutment: It is a connector that sits on top of the dental implant and rises above the gumline. Its function is to firmly hold the artificial tooth or crown in place, completing the structure of the single tooth implant.
  3. Crown: It is the visible part of the dental implant that resembles a natural tooth. It is usually made of ceramic or porcelain.

How Will Single Dental Implants be Placed?

During a single tooth implant procedure, several key steps are involved:

Implant placement: During a minor surgical procedure, the titanium screw is inserted into the jawbone, and the gum tissue is carefully stitched back into place to promote healing and protection of the implant site.

Healing Time: Over the course of 3-6 months, the jawbone gradually integrates with the  implant, ensuring the artificial tooth’s stability and strength.

Abutment Attachment: Following the healing period, the dentist exposes the top of the implant and attaches the abutment to allow for proper placement of the final crown.

Crown Placement: After the abutment is fitted, impressions of the abutment and surrounding teeth are taken to create a custom-made crown. These impressions capture the precise shape and alignment required for the crown to fit perfectly over the abutment.

When is a Single Dental Implant Used? 

A single tooth implant is often used in situations where an individual has lost a single tooth due to factors such as injury, decay, or congenital absence. The advantages of a single tooth implant include:

  • Keeps your jawbone strong and healthy by stimulating bone growth and preventing bone loss.
  • Provides a strong and long-lasting solution that works exactly like a natural tooth.
  • Restores the smile and chewing ability without causing damage to nearby teeth.

The crown (the part on top of the implant) is custom-made and will fit perfectly with the other teeth.

What are the Advantages of a Single Tooth Implant over a Bridge?

A single dental implant not only looks and functions like a natural tooth, but it also replaces a single tooth without compromising the health of neighboring teeth. It preserves the integrity of surrounding teeth, as opposed to a tooth-supported fixed bridge, which requires adjacent teeth to be ground down (a process in which a portion of the enamel and dentin is removed from the tooth’s surface) to support the bridge. 

Furthermore, because single dental implants serve as an artificial tooth root they preserve the jawbone and prevent bone loss, which can occur with bridges. A single tooth replacement can also be more aesthetically pleasing and easier to maintain than a bridge because it avoids problems like gum recession and decay, which are common with bridges.

Single Tooth Implant Care Routine

Dental implants are performed by a highly skilled medical team at MCAN Dental, and patients receive clear instructions and ongoing support from the MCAN’s multilingual nurses for a full year. However, patient habits such as heavy smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor oral hygiene can have an impact on implant success, emphasizing the importance of post-operative care. 

Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal right after operation and can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the implant area during the initial phase. Swelling and bruising will subside within the first few days. For the first 3-6 months after surgery, avoid applying excessive pressure to the implant site and practice good oral hygiene to avoid gum disease and other complications.
