WHAT ARE SINGLE UNIT IMPLANTS?
Dental implants used to replace a single lost tooth are known as single-tooth implants. They are composed of a dental crown affixed to a tiny screw that is inserted into the mandible. Although single-tooth implants cost more than standard dentures, they have a more stable appearance.
A single unit dental implant is precisely what it sounds like—also referred to as an individual conventional dental implant. It is designed to replace a single missing tooth and is a single tooth assembly. A single unit implant is made up mechanically of a visible fake tooth or crown and a metal implant (the roots).
BENEFITS OF SINGLE UNIT IMPLANTS:
When only one tooth is lost, single unit dental implants have to be utilised. This would also be the ideal course of action if you are losing several teeth that are not next to one another and need to be replaced with implants and implant crowns.
When it comes to treating missing teeth, implant options are structurally superior to non-implant options because they stop bone resorption, feel and function naturally, have excellent aesthetics, are resilient and long-lasting over time, and require no additional maintenance beyond regular dental hygiene.
It is important to note that single unit implants, in contrast to the bridge option, would not require the necessary preparation of the healthy teeth in front and behind the missing site (which involves removing some of the tooth structure throughout the tooth to make room for the dental bridge).
THE SINGLE TOOTH IMPLANT PLACEMENT PROCESS
A single dental implant can offer a long-term solution for replacing a missing tooth’s appearance and function. This is a summary of the procedure:
1. Initial Assessment
2. Implant Placement
3. Healing and Osseointegration
4. Abutment Placement
5. Crown Attachment
