Single Tooth Implant

Restore superior chewing functionNatural aesthetics and stand the test of time

WHAT IS SINGLE-TOOTH IMPLANT?

When you have a missing tooth, the jawbone part at the position of the missing tooth no longer receives chewing force. Over time, that jawbone part begins to degenerate and disappear, causing the face to become sunken, saggy, and showing signs of aging.Single-tooth implant is the perfect solution to completely overcome this problem. By directly implanting a Titanium implant post into the jawbone at the position of the missing tooth. This implant post will act as an artificial tooth root, helping to stimulate the jawbone to continue to maintain density and volume. After the implant post is firmly integrated into the jawbone, a dental crown will be placed to form a complete tooth.

TYPES OF IMPLANT POSTS AVAILABLE AT PLATINUM DENTAL

At Platinum Dental, we carefully select and apply top-tier dental implant systems, clinically proven for safety, osseointegration and long-term durability. Each type of implant post will be prescribed according to the jawbone condition and needs of each customer, thereby ensuring optimal restoration efficiency.

ADVANTAGES OF SINGLE DENTAL IMPLANTS

When it comes to Single-Tooth Implant, most people only think of the possibility of replacing a missing tooth. However, few people know that this method also offers a series of other outstanding advantages such as:

Safe and benign to the body

The implant post is made from high-quality pure Titanium material with high biocompatibility. Thanks to that, the implant post easily integrates with the jawbone, maintaining long-term stability without causing irritation or rejection and ensuring absolute safety for oral health.

High aesthetics

Dental implants are individually designed in shape, size, and color to best match your natural teeth; helping you regain a beautiful, radiant set of teeth…

Restore chewing function

After the Titanium post is firmly integrated with the jawbone, the dental implant will have superior load-bearing capacity. Thanks to that, you can enjoy all types of foods, from hard to chewy, with complete reassurance without worrying about it or being limited like other dental restoration methods.

Jawbone resorption prevention

After tooth loss happens, the jawbone without chewing stimulation will gradually disappear, leading to sunken cheeks, sagging skin and an older face. Implantation helps transmit chewing force to the jawbone to maintain bone density and volume, protect facial contours, and prevent premature aging.

Non-invasive to real teeth

Unlike a dental bridge that requires reshaping two adjacent teeth to act as a support, a single implant is an independent solution that does not affect the surrounding healthy teeth. This helps to preserve the original tooth to the maximum and avoid unwanted complications.

Exceptional durability

When dental implants are implanted and cared for properly, they can last for 20-25 years, or even a lifetime. This is a worthy investment for your health and quality of life.

WHO NEEDS SINGLE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Implantation is currently considered the most optimal tooth restoration solution, bringing outstanding efficiency in function, aesthetics and durability. This method is especially suitable for the following cases:

People who lose one tooth, many teeth or the entire jaw, make chewing difficult, affecting daily activities, facial aesthetics and confidence in communication.

People who have had their teeth restored using traditional methods such as removable dentures or porcelain bridges but have experienced damage, looseness, infection or have had to make multiple adjustments, causing inconvenience and expense.

Long-term tooth loss leads to jaw bone loss, causing the face to become sunken and saggy, making the face look older than its actual age. Implants not only restore teeth but also help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.

People with weak teeth or adjacent teeth that are not strong enough to have a porcelain bridge. In this case, Implant is the ideal solution because there is no need to grind down real teeth, preserving the maximum amount of natural teeth.

SINGLE-TOOTH IMPLANT PROCEDURE AND TIMELINE AT PLATINUM DENTAL

Implantation is a complex dental restoration technique that requires high precision and strict adherence to medical procedures to ensure long-term effectiveness. At reputable dental clinics, this procedure is usually performed through the following 5 steps:

Step 1

General examination and personalized treatment plan

Step 2

Implant surgery

Step 3

Using temporary crown to maintain aesthetics and chewing function

Step 4

Follow-up visit and healing monitoring

Step 5

Fixed dental crown placement to complete the dental implant procedure

Step 1: General examination and personalized treatment plan

First of all, the doctor will conduct a general examination, check the oral health and take a 3D Cone Beam CT scan to be able to accurately assess the density and volume of the jawbone in the area requiring implantation. Based on these results, the doctor will create a detailed treatment plan: suitable type of implant posts, required number of implant posts, implementation time and estimated cost. In some cases, the patient may need to perform additional blood tests to ensure medical conditions before surgery.

Step 2: Implant surgery

Before the surgery, the patient will be re-examined for general health and given anesthesia or pre-anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The doctor will then place the implant post into the jawbone in the pre-planned position. With advanced technology and digital support, the implant post placement is quick, accurate and minimally invasive.

Step 3: Using temporary crown to maintain aesthetics and chewing function

After the implant post is placed, the patient’s dental impression will be taken to design the temporary crown. The temporary crown is placed in the implant area to ensure aesthetics and chewing function while waiting for the implant post to integrate with the jawbone. Particularly in the case of full mouth dental implants, some clinics can perform temporary fixed restorations immediately after surgery, helping to shorten treatment duration..

Step 4: Follow-up visit and healing monitoring

After a few days to a few weeks, the patient will be scheduled for a follow-up appointment so that the doctor can check the healing process, osseointegration, and detect any complications early. A follow-up appointment on time helps ensure the implant post is stable and ready for the next stage of restoration.

Step 5: Fixed dental crown placement to complete the dental implant procedure

After about 6 weeks to 6 months (depending on the patient’s condition and the type of implant used), when the implant post has fully integrated with the jawbone, the doctor will place a fixed dental crown on top of the implant post through the abutment joint. This restoration process usually takes place in 3 – 5 appointments and is completed in about 5 – 14 days.

Note: The specific treatment time will be advised in detail by the doctor after a direct examination. Platinum is committed to strictly following medical procedures to ensure safety, no pain and no additional expenses.

Thorough general health examinationYou should inform your doctor about any underlying medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, or medications you are taking. Some cases may require blood tests to ensure treatment requirements.
Stop smoking at least 1 – 2 weeks before surgeryNicotine reduces blood flows that nurture tissues, affecting wound healing and osseointegration.

Limit chewing in the implant areaDuring the first 1-2 weeks, you should only eat soft, chilled, easy-to-swallow foods.Avoid hard, chewy, and hot foods.
Do not rinse your mouth vigorously or touch the implant area with your hands/tongue.This may cause suture dehiscence ,or affect the healing process.
Do not smoke, drink alcohol or coffee for at least 2 weeks after treatmentThese substances slow down the healing process and increase the risk of infection.
Gentle oral hygieneUse a soft-bristled toothbrush, saline solution, or mouthwash under the doctor’s instructions.You can use water flossers once the Implant area has completely healed.
Scheduled follow-up appointmentMonitoring osseointegration and the healing process is mandatory to ensure long-term success.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SINGLE-TOOTH IMPLANT

Is single-tooth implant placement painful?

The single-tooth implant procedure is usually painless thanks to the use of local anesthesia. After surgery, patients may experience mild numbness or tightness in the jawbone area for a few days, similar to after tooth extraction. These symptoms can be controlled with pain medication as prescribed by the doctor. In case the patients are too nervous or the surgery becomes complicated, pre-anesthesia can be used to increase comfort.

What is the timeline for single tooth implant placement?

The procedure of implanting a single-tooth implant usually lasts from 3 to 6 months, depending on the condition of the jawbone and the patient’s health. After implanting the implant, it takes about 3-6 months for the implant to biologically integrate with the jawbone. After that, the doctor will place the abutment and dental crown to complete the tooth. In some cases where the jawbone is strong, immediate implant placement can be performed to shorten the treatment time.

Does single-tooth implant placement require bone grafting?

Not all cases require bone grafting. If the patient’s jawbone has sufficient volume and density, the implant can be placed directly. However, if long-term tooth loss leads to jawbone resorption, the doctor may recommend bone grafting or sinus lift to ensure the implant is firmly integrated. This decision is made after evaluation via X-ray or CT scan.

What is the cost?

The cost of a single-tooth implant depends on many factors such as the implant brand, the dental crown material, the technique used, and the dental clinic chosen. Normally, the price of a genuine dental implant ranges from 25 to 45 million VND at Platinum Dental, including the implant post, abutment, and dental crown. Patients should ask the dental clinic to provide a detailed quote and information about the origin of the materials to ensure quality.

Are single-tooth implants durable?

Single-tooth implants are highly durable and they can last from 10 years to decades if properly cared for. Its durability depends on the quality of the materials, implant technique, oral hygiene, and the patient’s overall health. Regular check-ups and thorough oral hygiene help prolong the life of the implant and reduce the risk of infection or damage to the implant.
