A dental implant is a permanent part of your mouth, and it’s strong enough that it acts like a real tooth. Additionally, single dental implants are independent teeth within your mouth, so they don’t rely on the surrounding teeth for support. Dental implants are a strong and long-lasting tooth replacement option.
Most people who lose a single tooth and seek out a replacement will either choose a dental implant or a conventional bridge. A dental bridge is created by examining the two teeth on either side of the missing tooth and using them to anchor a new tooth in place of the missing tooth between them.
The process for getting a single tooth dental implant begins by figuring out the exact dimensions of the patient’s jaw before the implant is chosen. Every person’s mouth is a little different, and everyone won’t require the same exact implant. It’s common for dentists to utilize a dental CT scan to ensure the surgery is a success, and the patient receives the best tooth for his or her mouth.
After surgery, the healing time will vary depending on the bone quality where the dental implant was placed. In most cases, healing occurs faster when the surgery is completed on jaw bone that is more vascular and harder. If you’re considering a single tooth dental implant, you should expect a healing timeline of about 8 weeks for an implant placed in good quality/quantity bone and at least 16 weeks when place an implant in softer bone. A 3D CT scan in our Dallas office can give us enough information in regards to both quantity and quality of bone.
