Single Teeth Implant and Crown
Crowns and Implants are the most common way to replace missing teeth.
Replacing missing teeth is essential for maintaining oral health, jaw structure and a confident smile. At Brisbane Smiles, we offer single tooth replacement with Dental Implants and Crowns — a reliable, long-lasting solution for restoring the natural look and function of your teeth.
What Is a Dental Implant and Crown?
A single tooth replacement involves two key components:
- Dental Implant: This is a titanium post that acts as a substitute tooth root, securely placed into the jawbone to provide a strong foundation for the Crown.
- Porcelain Crown with Abutment: Attached to the implant via an Abutment, the Porcelain Crown is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both strength and aesthetics.
Benefits of Single Tooth Replacement with Implants
Replacing a missing tooth with a Dental Implant and Crown offers several advantages over other options, such as Bridges or Dentures:
- Long-Lasting Solution: Dental Implants provide a permanent replacement that can last a lifetime with proper care.
- Preserves Jawbone Health: Replacing a missing tooth helps prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur soon after tooth removal.
- No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike Dental Bridges, Single Tooth Implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, preserving the health of surrounding teeth.
- Natural Look and Feel: The Porcelain Crown is designed to match the colour, shape, and function of your natural teeth, restoring both your smile and bite function.
Benefits of Single Tooth Replacement with Implants
Consultation and Personalised Implant Plan: At your Consultation, we will create a customised Dental Implant plan, assess your bone density, and discuss your treatment options.
- Implant Placement: The Dental Implant is surgically placed in the jawbone, where it integrates over time to form a secure foundation.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: After healing, the Abutment and Porcelain Crown are attached to complete the restoration, giving you a fully functional, natural-looking tooth.
Multiple Missing Teeth? Dental Implants Can Help!
For multiple missing teeth, Dental Implants provide a durable, long-term solution that doesn’t compromise the health of your remaining teeth. Replacing multiple teeth with Implants can prevent future bone loss and maintain jaw structure, offering a significant advantage over Dentures or other temporary solutions. Although Dental Implants have a higher initial cost than Dentures, they are a worthwhile investment due to their longevity and stability.
Dental Implant FAQs
What are the benefits of a Dental Implant over a Dental Bridge?
Unlike Bridges, Dental Implants do not require support from surrounding teeth, preserving the health of adjacent teeth. Implants are also more durable and can prevent bone loss in the jaw.
How long does a single Tooth Implant last?
With proper care, a single tooth implant can last a lifetime, making it one of the most cost-effective options in the long run.
How long does the entire Dental Implant process take?
The Implant process generally takes a few months, allowing time for the Implant to fuse with the bone before placing the Crown.
Are Dental Implants painful?
The Implant procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Any post-surgery soreness can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Any invasive or surgical procedure has risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. No dental treatment is suitable for each and every patient. Dentists will only provide care which is suitable to the individual. Patients of Brisbane Smiles must complete examination and consultation appointments to deem suitability for procedures and full informed consent be given by the patient.
