Treatment
Single Tooth Implant
A titanium post and crown that replaces one missing tooth without affecting the teeth beside it.
A single tooth implant is a small titanium post placed in the jaw that holds a custom crown to replace one missing tooth.
Dr. Perimenis places the post, lets it fuse with the bone, then adds a crown designed and milled in house to match your other teeth.
Because it stands on its own, an implant restores one tooth without grinding down or leaning on the healthy teeth around it.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about single tooth implant.
A single tooth implant is a good option for people missing one tooth who want a stable replacement that does not rely on the teeth beside it. Healthy gums and enough bone help it succeed, which Dr. Perimenis checks during planning. It can also replace a tooth that cannot be saved.
The titanium post is placed in the jaw during one visit, then given time to fuse with the bone. Once the area has healed, a custom crown is designed and milled in house to match your other teeth and attached to the post.
Placing the post is quick, but healing between the post and the final crown usually takes a few months. This healing time is what allows the implant to become a strong, lasting foundation.
Healthy gums and enough bone help an implant last, so Dr. Perimenis checks both before planning treatment. Once in place, an implant is cared for much like a natural tooth, with regular brushing, flossing, and checkups.
Most people feel back to normal within a few days, with only mild soreness around the site at first. You will be given simple care instructions to help the area heal comfortably.
