Single Implants
Single Implants Melbourne North West
Single implants are dental implants used to replace a single, missing tooth root. Once placed, an implant will support a crown to replace the tooth and the patient now has a long-term dental solution that will look and feel like a natural tooth. Our team of skilled dentists at Dental Couture, Melbourne North West are experienced with single implants and will work closely with you to ensure you get the results you expect.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are tiny, titanium posts that are surgically mounted and secured into the jawbone. They are strategically placed in the mouth, depending upon the needs and jawbone health of the individual. The post mimics a tooth root and stimulates osseointegration; a process in which your natural bone treats the implant as part of your bone structure and naturally attaches to it.
Once the single implant is healed, a dental crown is created, which is a tooth replacement. Our porcelain crowns are made of the highest quality and are customised to fit your teeth, so you regain the full function of your teeth and mouth. The crown can be made to match both the colour and shape of your other teeth and is considered the most permanent dental treatment option to replace a missing tooth.

What to Expect
The process to receive a single implant is highly dependent on the individual patient. In general, you will first receive a full dental examination an evaluation to ensure you are a candidate for a single implant. If you are a candidate, we will take scans, pictures or moulds of your teeth to be used to determine the best placement of the implant and create the dental crown. The following steps are the general process of what to expect:
You will receive x-rays, scans, pictures and moulds to be used to create your implant and crown
During your next visit, the implant will be surgically placed
The implant will have time to heal and then we bring you back to place the crown
You may receive a follow-up visit to ensure all is healing as it should

Benefits of Single Implants
Single implants provide the function of your teeth and protection for your jawbone. When a tooth is missing, the jawbone can shrink due to bone loss, resulting in the other teeth shifting out of place. In addition, the bone deterioration can cause a sunken and aged look on your face. But implants can ensure your jawbone stays intact to aesthetically preserve your facial features. The following are more benefits of single implants:
The implant secures into the jawbone, so your new tooth and root stay in place
