What are single implants?
The dental implant itself is a titanium post, which acts as an artificial tooth replacement for the new, false tooth.
How long do dental implants take to place?
The treatment length for dental implants can vary because it will depend on your unique case and the type of restoration or technique chosen.
However, in the most straightforward cases where a CBCT scan shows a good amount of bone, Dr Gutierres predicts that the healing time would be around three months and that the patient would be a good candidate for temporary teeth.
However, Dr Gutierres will break down the timings and explain all the details you need to know in your bespoke treatment plan.
What's the procedure like for one implant?
Dr Gutierres, will position the titanium post deep into the jawbone so that it can act as a replica of natural tooth roots.
Once the titanium screw has had enough time to heal and fuse with the bone in your jaw (often 3-6 months), we will be at the stage where we can place the abutment and crown.
What are the alternatives to replace one tooth?
There are alternative treatments we can investigate to replace single tooth loss, like bridgework or a single-tooth denture.
Still, both have been found on decaying teeth, worsen the oral condition and be unflattering or uncomfortable.
Are implants worth the cost?

What happens when you don't choose implants
There are several worrying consequences of ignoring a missing tooth.
One of them being further tooth loss. Gaps between two teeth can cause teeth further gum recession and lead to another wobbly tooth that needs attention.
When you lose a tooth, pressure is put on the remaining teeth, and the jaw bone also loses vital bone mass that holds teeth firmly in position.
This is why facial contortions, wobbly teeth and tooth movement are common symptoms.
