A single-tooth dental implant includes three components:
- A titanium post surgically placed into the jaw
- A connecting element, called an abutment, that conjoins the implant to your new tooth
- A custom-crafted crown that completes the look
Together, these elements create a long-lasting tooth replacement that restores chewing ability, prevents shifting in nearby teeth, and helps maintain facial structure. Unlike bridges or partial dentures, implants don’t compromise surrounding teeth, and they won’t slip, loosen, or decay.
Digital planning and 3D imaging ensure your implant is designed and placed with absolute precision. For your comfort, implant procedures are performed with IV sedation, and most patients experience only mild discomfort afterward. Recovery is typically quick, and results can last a lifetime with routine care.
