If you are missing a single tooth, a single-tooth implant might be the ideal solution to restore your smile and oral health. At Dental Specialists of Fort Collins, we understand the importance of both function and aesthetics when it comes to dental implants. Dr. Isra Ahmed and Dr. Ziad Salameh are here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you receive the highest level of care.
A single-tooth implant is a durable and natural-looking option for replacing a lost tooth. The process begins with a thorough examination. Based on these findings, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
The implant itself is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. This post acts as a replacement root for the missing tooth. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for the final restoration. Once the implant has properly integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is placed on top.
Our team uses advanced techniques and technologies to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. We prioritize your comfort and provide detailed instructions on post-procedure care to support your recovery and implant’s longevity.
