Single Tooth Implants
Single tooth implants are the most common type of dental implant and consist of two main parts. The implant itself is a titanium "post" shaped like a screw. A dental crown, which can be made from various materials, is a tooth-shaped "cap" that attaches to the implant post to complete the restoration.
These implants are directly embedded into the jaw, where the titanium permanently bonds with the bone. While the site heals, a dental crown is created and eventually attached to the implant post using an "abutment." Dental crowns are designed to look and function like natural teeth, seamlessly blending in with your smile. They are made from durable materials and can last for decades, while dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike a partial denture, a single-tooth implant will never move or shift in your mouth.
