Single Tooth Implant Application

Tooth loss may occur due to conditions such as caries, gum diseases or trauma. In the past years, only methods such as bridges or prostheses were used in tooth loss, but today, thanks to developing technologies, single tooth implant treatment, which is an easier and longer-lasting method, is also applied.

How Is Single Tooth Implant Treatment Performed?

Single tooth implant is an extremely comfortable method for both the patient and the doctor. It can be performed in 4 different ways:

  • As the first method, the tooth is extracted or if there is no tooth in the area, the implant is placed in the same session. It is a painless and non-surgical procedure that does not require stitches.
  • The second method is called closed technique. The tissue is not cut, a cavity is created with the laser and the implant is placed in this cavity.
  • In the third method with mini-implants, the implant is placed over the mucosa.
  • In the fourth method, which is a classical surgical method, a play is opened in the jawbone with surgery, the implant is placed and sutured. Stitches are removed after 1 week.

Although the classical surgical method has been used more frequently in the past years, the first method is used more frequently today.

Advantages of Single Tooth Implant Treatment

Methods such as bridges and prostheses are both longer and more laborious. In these methods, it may be necessary to damage the adjacent teeth. The advantages that highlight single tooth implant treatment are:

  • Neighboring teeth are not damaged,
  • It is much easier to maintain compared to the bridge application,
  • It is like one's own tooth, both aesthetically and functionally.
  • Since the implant is placed in the jawbone, melting that may occur in the area where there is no tooth is prevented.

Thanks to all these advantages, it is applied more in single tooth implant treatment than other treatment methods.

The process usually takes between 10 and 30 minutes, but there may be exceptional cases where it can take longer. If performed by a specialist physician, the success rate is high and there is no possibility of falling.

Single tooth implant treatment attracts great attention as a method that maximizes patient and doctor comfort.

Let's make a list of important points to know about the method:

  • It is a viable method for anyone who has completed the active growth process and has sufficient bone level,
  • In cases where the bone level is not sufficient, filling with bone powder is performed, bone graft taken from the patient's own tissue can also be used for this procedure,
  • The application of single-tooth implant treatment immediately after tooth loss prevents both adjacent teeth from slipping into the cavity and melting of the jawbone,
  • The time for the implant to fuse to the bone can vary between 1 month and 6 months.

In order for a single tooth implant treatment to be completed without any problems, it is necessary to get support from a specialist and experienced physician.
