What is a single-tooth dental implant?
A single-tooth dental implant is the term we use to describe a dental implant and crown. This restoration has three separate pieces: the dental implant itself, which replaces the root of the missing tooth, a dental crown, and an abutment that connects the two. Single-tooth dental implants are the best fit when only one tooth is missing or if you have a few teeth missing that are not adjacent to each other. Adjacent teeth can be replaced with an implant-supported bridge or if an entire arch of teeth is missing, we can use an implant-supported denture to restore them.
