Single Tooth Implants

Who Can Have a Single Tooth Implant?

Single tooth implants are suitable for patients who may have lost a single tooth due to disease or trauma or for people who have congenitally missing teeth. This treatment can be carried out on people whose teeth and jaws have finished developing. The main requirement is to have good dental and general health. There is no evidence suggesting that dental implant treatment's success is affected by age or gender.

Single dental implants tend to be enormously successful. Many people will enjoy them for years or even for life. One of the reasons they are so successful is that single dental implants are straightforward to keep clean. They can be brushed and flossed the same as a normal tooth, so there is less risk of an infected implant.

Although, in some cases, implants initially can be more costly than a bridge, in the long run, implant therapy can be more cost-effective.
