Single-tooth replacement
An implant can support a crown to replace one missing tooth. Whether this is appropriate depends on the condition of the surrounding teeth, gums, and bone.
Explore tooth replacement with dental implants, with a treatment plan based on your oral health and individual needs.
A dental implant is placed in the jawbone to support a restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture. The suitable option depends on how many teeth are missing and on an individual clinical assessment.
Treatment may involve several stages. The timing and type of restoration depend on the case; a clinician can explain the options, expected healing, and maintenance after examination.

For some people missing several teeth, implants can support a bridge. A clinician can assess which restoration may suit the remaining teeth and oral health.
These approaches use four or six implants to support a full-arch restoration. In selected cases, a fixed temporary arch may be fitted on the day of surgery; it is not the final restoration, and timing depends on clinical assessment.
Some removable dentures can attach to implants for added retention. The design and suitability are determined during an individual assessment.
Local anesthesia is commonly used for implant placement. Sensations during and after treatment vary, and some soreness or swelling may occur. Your clinician can explain pain control and aftercare for your case.
Treatment time varies. A single implant may need a healing period before the final crown is fitted; the timing depends on the clinical plan. In selected All-on-4 or All-on-6 cases, a fixed temporary arch may be fitted on the day of surgery, with the final restoration planned separately.
Implants and restorations can require ongoing care and may need maintenance or replacement over time. Good oral hygiene and regular dental reviews help monitor them, but no lifespan can be guaranteed.
Suitability depends on your oral and general health and the condition of your gums and jawbone. A consultation and appropriate examination are needed to discuss options and whether additional treatment may be considered.
