A single tooth implant is a way to replace one missing tooth. It’s made up of three parts: a small titanium post that goes into your jawbone (that’s the implant), an abutment that sits on the implant, and a crown that looks like a natural tooth. The implant acts like a new root, and the crown is the part you see.
At My Harmony Smiles, we often suggest single tooth implants when a tooth is missing or needs to be removed. They’re a great choice because they look and work just like a natural tooth, and they help keep your jawbone healthy.
Getting a single tooth implant usually takes a few months from start to finish. First, we put the implant into your jawbone. This needs about 3 to 6 months to heal and bond with your bone. After that, we put on the abutment and crown.
Sometimes, we can put in the implant and attach a temporary crown all in one day. But you’ll still need to come back later for your permanent crown. At My Harmony Smiles, we’ll make a timeline that works for you and keep you updated through the whole process.
Most people say that getting a single tooth implant hurts less than they expected. We use local anesthetic during the procedure, so you shouldn’t feel pain while we’re working. You might feel some pressure, but it shouldn’t hurt.
After the procedure, you might have some soreness for a few days. This is normal and usually gets better quickly. We can suggest ways to help with any discomfort. If you’re worried about pain, let us know. At My Harmony Smiles, we’ll do all we can to keep you comfortable.
The cost of a single tooth implant can vary depending on your specific needs. While it might cost more upfront than other options like a bridge, it often ends up being a good value because it lasts so long and helps keep your other teeth healthy.
We know cost is an important factor. At My Harmony Smiles, we’ll give you a clear estimate before we start any treatment. We offer different payment options to help make implants more affordable. Some dental insurance plans might cover part of the cost, and we can help check what your plan covers.
With good care, a single tooth implant can last for many years, even a lifetime. The implant itself, which is the part in your jawbone, often lasts for life. The crown (the visible tooth part) might need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear and tear.
To help your implant last, it’s important to take good care of it. Brush and floss every day, and come see us for regular check-ups. At My Harmony Smiles, we’ll show you the best ways to care for your implant to keep it in great shape.
Many people can get single tooth implants, but they’re not right for everyone. You need to have a healthy mouth and enough bone in your jaw to hold the implant. Some health conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking, can affect how well implants work.
When you come to My Harmony Smiles, we’ll check your mouth and talk about your health history. This helps us decide if an implant is a good choice for you. If it’s not, we can talk about other ways to replace your missing tooth.
Yes, single tooth implants look very natural. The crown (the part that looks like a tooth) is made to match the color, shape, and size of your other teeth. Most people can’t tell which tooth is an implant and which are natural.
At My Harmony Smiles, we take care to make sure your implant blends in with your smile. We use high-quality materials and skilled techniques to create an implant that looks just like a natural tooth. Our goal is for you to have a healthy, natural-looking smile.
Caring for a single tooth implant is a lot like caring for your natural teeth. You should brush twice a day and floss daily. Make sure to clean well around the implant crown, just like you do with your other teeth.
It’s also important to come see us for regular check-ups. We can make sure your implant is doing well and clean it in ways you can’t at home. If you have any questions about caring for your implant, just ask us. At My Harmony Smiles, we’re here to help you keep your implant and your whole mouth healthy.
In many cases, we can put in an implant right after removing a tooth. This is called an immediate implant. It can be a good option because it might shorten the overall treatment time.
However, immediate implants aren’t right for every situation. It depends on things like how healthy your bone is and if there’s any infection. When you come to My Harmony Smiles, we’ll check your mouth carefully and talk about whether an immediate implant might work for you.
Yes, one of the great things about single tooth implants is that you can eat normally. Once your implant has healed and the permanent crown is in place, you can bite and chew just like you would with a natural tooth.
Right after the implant surgery, you’ll need to eat soft foods for a while to let your mouth heal. But once you’re fully healed, you can get back to eating all your favorite foods. Many of our patients at My Harmony Smiles tell us how happy they are to be able to eat normally again after getting their implant.
