[Book Online](/book-now/) ### Reasons for Needing a **Single Tooth Implant** The following are some more indicators that someone might consider getting a single [tooth dental implant](/dental-implants/single-tooth-implants/) to improve their overall oral health: - **Teeth That Are Severely Cracked**: When a tooth is significantly broken or has several cracks, the tooth is unlikely to be salvaged due to the existing damage. A single tooth implant can be used to replace a severely fractured tooth after it has been pulled. - **Teeth That Are Significantly Deteriorated**: Tooth decay will frequently require a tooth to be pulled from the mouth because the muscles are too weak to continue to function. A dentist can replace them with implants once they have been extracted. - **When Conventional Dentures Do Not Fit Properly**: Many traditional denture wearers say that their dentures shift or frequently slip, making them uncomfortable to wear. The possibility of getting single implants to replace partial dentures reduces the fear of slipping dentures. When someone wears a complete set of traditional dentures, they can acquire dental implants to hold [implant-supported dentures](/restorative-dentistry/implant-supported-dentures/ "implant-supported dentures"). These will never move or shift in their mouths. - **When the First Signs of Jawbone Loss Appear**: A lost tooth leaves a gap in one's mouth. This means that there is no longer a tooth root stimulating the jawbone. Jaw bone stimulation is critical to one's overall oral health. Dental implants can give the stimulation that the jawbone requires to stay healthy.

A single-tooth implant involves the placement of one titanium post, a biocompatible material, into the jawbone through a surgical procedure. This post resembles a screw and serves as a replacement for your tooth root. During a recovery period, the titanium implant fuses with the jawbone and surrounding tissues in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant is securely integrated, an artificial tooth, or crown, is attached. This restores your natural smile and oral functionality, improving your chewing abilities. Unlike other tooth replacement options, a single implant offers strong stability and functions like a real tooth, providing a complete, natural-looking smile. ### Why is it essential to replace a missing tooth? Replacing a missing tooth is crucial for maintaining both oral health and overall well-being. When a tooth is missing, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation, leading to bone loss and changes in facial structure. Additionally, gaps from missing teeth can cause neighbouring teeth to shift, resulting in misalignment, bite problems, and an increased risk of tooth decay and [gum disease](/general-dentistry/gum-disease-treatment/). Proper chewing and speech can also be compromised, leading to dietary restrictions and speech issues. Furthermore, the remaining teeth may endure excessive wear and tear as they take on extra workload, increasing the risk of damage. Lastly, a missing tooth can affect your appearance and self-confidence, making social interactions less comfortable. Replacing the tooth restores not only function and aesthetics but also prevents long-term dental complications. ### How long does a single tooth implant last? The implant screw itself can last for several years with proper care. Studies have discussed that the [average lifespan of dental implants is about 20 years](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8690332/#:~:text=The%20mean%20life%20of%20such%20implants%20is%20about%2020%20years%20when%20they%20are%20properly%20inserted%20for%20the%20right%20indications). However, the [dental crown](/restorative-dentistry/dental-crowns/ "crown") generally lasts around [5 to 15 years](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19146146/#:~:text=Generally%2C%2095%25%20of,from%2050%2D80%25) before requiring replacement due to wear and tear. Dentists highly recommend practising good oral hygiene to promote the longevity of your [single-tooth implant](/dental-implants/single-tooth-implants/).  ### How long do you have to wait after dental implant placement to get a crown? After dental implant placement, the waiting period before getting a crown usually ranges from three to six months. This period allows for osseointegration, where the implant integrates with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for the crown. We recommend consulting your dentist regarding the estimated period in which you need to wait to get a dental crown for your single implant. ### Who should not get single dental implants? Several characteristics may indicate that a person is not suitable for [dental implants](/dental-implants/). These can include an inadequate jawbone, certain health conditions, or existing oral health issues. An experienced dentist will assess whether any of these concerns apply to you. This may involve taking a thorough medical history, reviewing the health of your gums and remaining natural teeth, and carefully examining dental X-rays. Listed below are some of the indications that you are not a good candidate for single dental implants: - **Smoking:** Smoking slows the body’s natural healing process and interferes with osseointegration, the process by which a dental implant bonds with your natural bone tissue. Patients who smoke are at a higher risk of infection and implant failure. Smokers may still be candidates for [teeth implants](/dental-implants/multiple-teeth-implants/), provided they refrain from smoking for an acceptable period before and after the invasive procedure. - **Dental health:** Good dental health is essential for dental implant surgery candidates. Severe gum disease and unaddressed tooth decay can damage teeth, gums, and bone tissue, complicating implant placement. The implant process involves several surgical procedures over months, each requiring careful incisions in the gums to place a titanium screw into the jaw bone. Addressing any existing dental issues beforehand is critical for a successful outcome and to minimise complications. - **Medical Conditions:** Certain medical conditions can affect healing and implant success, including uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders (such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), and osteoporosis. Additionally, medications like steroids and blood thinners, as well as a history of radiation treatment to the face and neck, can impact eligibility for [dental implants](/dental-implants-mt-lawley/). Your dentist and healthcare provider will evaluate the risks associated with your health and medications. These are not the only factors influencing a potential patient’s suitability for dental implants. To find out if you are a good candidate for a single implant, schedule an appointment at our dental clinic. Our team of experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination to see if dental implants are a suitable option for you. ### What happens if you don't get a single tooth implant? Putting off or delaying dental treatment to replace a missing tooth can increase the risk of jawbone loss. The neighbouring teeth can eventually shift out of place towards the gap, resulting in tooth misalignment. In time, they might also become loosened and weakened, causing additional tooth loss. Patients who postpone treatment may experience bone loss, which can cause instability in the remaining natural teeth and negatively impact the bite. Insufficient jawbone can also mean that additional procedures, such as [bone grafts](/dental-implants/bone-grafting/), are necessary before implants can be placed. This can increase both the overall cost and the healing period. We encourage you to schedule an initial [consultation](/dental-implants/consultation/) with one of the dentists at Maylands Dental Centre. During your visit, our experienced team will discuss the potential risks of delaying the treatment for replacing your missing tooth. ### Alternatives to single dental implants The two alternatives for single-tooth implant treatments are as follows: - **Dental bridges:** A [dental bridge](/restorative-dentistry/dental-bridges/ "dental bridge") is also called a tooth-supported bridge. This tooth replacement option consists of two or more crowns on either side of the gap, called abutment teeth. Then, a false tooth in between is known as a pontic. These dental crowns are cemented onto the adjacent natural teeth to hold the bridge in place. - **Removable partial denture:** Conventional [denture](/restorative-dentistry/dentures/) are prosthetic devices designed to be removable and replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured plastic base, which may be connected to a metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Partial [dentures](/restorative-dentistry/dentures/) are usually a noninvasive choice preferred by many people who miss only one tooth. Consulting one of the friendly dentists in our dental clinic will provide further insights about potential alternative treatment options for you. They can conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your missing tooth and your overall oral health. This way, they can begin the treatment planning that can be suitable to your case. ### How much does a single tooth implant cost in Perth?
