Single-Tooth Dental Implant Near You

Living with a missing tooth can result in becoming self-conscious during smiling. It could also create some difficulties when eating your favorite foods or when trying to communicate verbally. Here at AZ Implant & Denture Center, our dentists know just how important it is to have a complete smile. Therefore, we offer single-tooth dental implants in Sun City West, AZ, to replace your missing tooth and help restore your confidence.

What is a Single-Tooth Dental Implant?

A single-tooth dental implant is a full replacement tooth made of three components. The first component is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the gum tissue and then into the jawbone, at the site of the natural tooth, where the tooth root was previously present, and will act in place of the natural tooth root. The second component is called an abutment, which will properly coordinate the titanium post to the new tooth. Finally, the third component is called a crown, which is a natural-looking replacement tooth that goes on top of the abutment.

The titanium post is a very important part because it will eventually fuse with the jawbone, called osseointegration, stabilizing the implant system. Once the titanium post has properly osseointegrated, it will support the replacement tooth for many years.

Signs You Need a Single-Tooth Dental Implant

You may be a good candidate for a single-tooth dental implant if you have:
A missing tooth due to an injury, decay, or gum disease
Healthy gum tissues around the site of the missing tooth
Adequate bone in the jaw area to support the dental implant
Overall good health that would allow for a minor surgical procedure
Commitment to keeping your mouth clean and healthy

The Single-Tooth Implant Process

Receiving a single-tooth dental implants near you can take several months, but the entire process is usually comfortable and worth the wait.

At your first visit, our dentist will examine your mouth and take X-rays to assess bone volume for a dental implant. We’ll also take into consideration medical history and answer any questions.
The titanium post (the implant) is surgically placed into the jawbone. The procedure is done under local anesthesia for your comfort. Most patients report that it is easier than having a tooth extracted.
The implant will require a healing period of 3-6 months, during which time the implant will integrate into the jawbone. You may receive a temporary tooth while you heal.
Once healed, our dentist in Sun City West, AZ, will place your new crown and abutment, which will be made to match your surrounding teeth.

Why Choose Single-Tooth Dental Implants?

Single-tooth dental implants are better than other tooth replacement options, like bridges or partial dentures. Here are some reasons why implants are the optimal choice

Preserves Your Remaining Teeth

Unlike bridges, implants do not require changes to the healthy teeth adjacent to the missing tooth. The healthy teeth remain healthy.

Prevents Bone Loss

The bone in your jaw will start to atrophy following tooth loss. A dental implant will stimulate bone and keep it healthy just like the root of a natural tooth does.

Long Lasting

With appropriate care, a single-tooth dental implant can last many years or indeed a lifetime, which represents an outstanding investment in oral health.

Easy to Clean

You can brush and floss around an implant just like a natural tooth. They do not require special cleaning tools like bridges or dentures.

Caring for Your Single-Tooth Implant

Taking care of your single-tooth dental implants near you is easy. Just brush and floss, like a natural tooth! Visiting the dentist near you, for routine appointments (every six months) will help you maintain a healthy implant. These implants can last a lifetime with proper care.

Avoid chewing on hard objects (such as ice) or using your teeth as a tool. If you grind your teeth at night, than our dentist may recommend a nightguard to protect your implant and teeth.
