Single Implant
Missing a tooth not only affects your smile but might make eating unpleasant, alter your speech patterns, and cause self-confidence issues over time. Moreover, the gap created by the missing tooth might allow other teeth to move, affecting your occlusion. Nevertheless, there have been great advances in dentistry, and nowadays replacing a missing tooth is quite predictable.
At Bombay Dental Specialities, we offer our patients single dental implants as the perfect replacement that works and looks like your natural tooth. Treatment is tailored to your needs, helping restore comfort and confidence while preserving your future oral health.
Your treatment starts with the consultation and examination. All aspects of your teeth, gums, jawbone, and general oral health are evaluated to see whether single dental implants are suitable for you. Sometimes, we need digital scans or X-ray images to analyse your bone density where the missing tooth was.
Once we have established the treatment plan, an implant that serves as an artificial root is inserted in the jawbone under local anaesthesia. Then, over a couple of months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through the natural healing process.
When the healing is complete, we mount the connector, known as an abutment, to the implant. A specially made crown is then attached to it. This crown is specially made to match the colour, size, and shape of your adjacent teeth, resulting in a natural-looking outcome. Before finishing your treatment, we will check your occlusion, give aftercare recommendations, and schedule follow-up visits.
This replacement replaces both the tooth and its root, making it quite stable and functional. Unlike other methods, the single implant does not require any support from the neighbouring teeth, thus saving healthy tooth structure.
The crown is also specially fabricated to mimic your teeth and help you feel confident about your smile. Implants also help maintain the health of the bone due to their ability to stimulate it after losing a tooth. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, single implants will give you a reliable solution to preserve your smile.
Who is suitable for a single dental implant?
Suitable candidates are people who have a single missing tooth, healthy gums, and appropriate jawbone density. We will determine your eligibility after a thorough clinical examination.
Is there pain when installing a single dental implant?
Implants are installed under local anaesthesia. Therefore, the procedure is not painful. Some discomfort afterwards is possible and passes away in a few days.
How long do single implants last?
An implant lasts for many years when you regularly visit the dentist, take proper care, and maintain good oral hygiene.
Will the implant look natural?
Yes, the specially made crown will resemble your teeth in colour, shape, and size.
