Woman smiling in dental chair after getting a single tooth implant done at Water's Edge Dental in Boise, ID Have you ever lost a tooth and felt self-conscious when speaking, eating, or smiling? Dental imperfections can impact your confidence significantly. At Water's Edge Dental, we understand the importance of a complete and radiant smile. We offer an effective and long-lasting solution in the form of dental implants. Particularly, if you are missing just one tooth, a single-tooth implant could be the ideal choice for you.

Understanding Dental Implants


Dental implants have transformed the world of dentistry, offering a reliable and durable solution for tooth replacement. Unlike the traditional approaches of bridges and dentures, implants integrate with the jawbone, providing a foundation for replacement teeth.

Made from titanium, these cylindrical posts are surgically placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Once the implant is secure, a crown, resembling and functioning like natural teeth, is mounted onto it. This technique allows our dentist at our practice to restore not just the appearance but also the function of your lost tooth. Moreover, opting for implants does not necessitate the grinding or altering of neighboring teeth, preserving their original structure.

The Procedure of Single Tooth Implants


The first step involves a comprehensive dental check-up. Our dentist examines the strength of your jawbone, the condition of surrounding tissues, and the health of adjacent teeth. This examination helps determine if you are a suitable candidate for the implant. If your jawbone is found to be insufficient for holding the implant, bone grafting might be recommended.

Following the assessment, the actual implant process is initiated. It usually spans over a few months, ensuring optimal results. Initially, the titanium implant is surgically positioned into the jawbone. As the bone and implant fuse, it acts as a new root for the forthcoming artificial tooth. A component named the abutment is then attached to the implant. This serves as a bridge between the implant and the final crown. Once everything is in place and the gums have healed adequately, the crown is attached. This crown is carefully designed to match your other teeth, ensuring a seamless integration into your smile.

Guidance on Post-Procedure Care and Potential Issues


After undergoing the single-tooth implant procedure, you should regard it with as much diligence as you would with your original teeth. Incorporating consistent habits, such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental examinations, is important in safeguarding the vitality and endurance of the implant.

Dental implants, while boasting an impressive success, are not entirely without potential hitches. Factors like undue pressure due to habitual teeth grinding or neglect of oral cleanliness might affect the firmness of the implant. Nonetheless, with a proactive approach toward oral maintenance and heightened awareness, such issues can be minimized.

Our dedicated team at our practice is always available to answer any questions and provide guidance on the best practices for both single and multiple-tooth implant care. If you are considering improving your smile and oral health with dental implants, do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to guide you on this journey to restore your radiant smile.
