A single-tooth dental implant is an advanced tooth replacement intended to mimic the function and appearance of a natural tooth. It consists of three parts:
At Gordon Dental Implants and Cosmetics, we use advanced digital imaging, 3D CT scans, and precision milling technology to create customized implant restorations that provide a secure and aesthetic fit.
Stimulates the jawbone to prevent deterioration and maintain facial structure.
A dental bridge is one of the most common tooth replacement options, but it comes with a significant trade-off. To anchor a bridge, the healthy teeth on either side of the gap must be permanently reshaped, removing tooth structure that can never be restored. A single-tooth dental implant requires no modification to neighboring teeth.
The difference goes deeper than structure:
We conduct a detailed assessment, including X-rays and 3D CT scans, to evaluate your jawbone health. Dr. Gordon will craft a personalized implant plan based on your needs. We offer affordable payment terms to make treatment accessible.
The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation for the best comfort. The implant fuses with the jawbone over the next 3 to 6 months, ensuring a strong foundation. A temporary crown may be placed during healing.
Once healing is complete, a custom-crafted dental crown is attached to the implant. The crown is meticulously shaped and color-matched to your natural teeth. Your new tooth will look, feel, and function like a real tooth.
The final step in single-tooth implant treatment is placing a custom dental implant crown designed specifically for your mouth. The crown is matched to the shade, shape, and contour of your surrounding teeth so the restoration looks completely natural from every angle. Modern porcelain and zirconia crowns are built for durability and aesthetics. Most patients find it impossible to identify the restored tooth in photographs, and the implant itself requires no special maintenance beyond standard brushing and flossing.
