How Can We Help Restore Your Smile?
Many patients tell us they’ve spent years hiding their smile or avoiding certain foods, not realizing how a single missing tooth was limiting their life. Dental implants don’t just replace what’s missing—they help prevent the bone loss and shifting of adjacent teeth that often follows tooth loss. The transformation our patients experience goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about reclaiming the freedom to live without constantly thinking about their teeth. The psychological impact is profound, even simple pleasures, like biting into a crisp apple or laughing without covering your mouth, become effortless again. Unlike temporary solutions that require special maintenance or removal, implants become such a natural part of you that you’ll likely forget which tooth was ever missing in the first place.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A single tooth implant is a permanent solution that replaces both the visible part of your missing tooth and its root. The implant post, made of biocompatible titanium, is placed in your jawbone where it fuses with your natural bone. This creates a strong foundation for the custom-crafted crown that attaches to it. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants preserve bone structure and prevent the shifting of neighboring teeth. Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, making them not just a restoration but a true investment in your long-term oral health. The technology behind modern implants has evolved over decades of research and innovation, resulting in success rates exceeding 98% at Newbury Smiles.
The Three Components of a Dental Implant
A complete single tooth implant restoration consists of three essential parts working together to create a functional, natural-looking replacement:
- The Implant Fixture – This titanium post serves as an artificial tooth root and is surgically placed into your jawbone. Titanium is used because of its unique ability to osseointegrate (fuse) with human bone, creating a permanent foundation.
- The Abutment – Once the implant has healed and integrated with your bone, this connector piece is attached to the implant. The abutment extends above the gumline and serves as the anchor for your final restoration.
- The Crown – The visible portion of your restoration is a custom-crafted dental crown, typically made from high-grade porcelain or ceramic. Each crown is individually designed to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding natural teeth, ensuring a seamless smile.
Our Dental Implant Process
01.
Initial Consultation
Dr. Saadat evaluates your oral health, takes digital images, and discusses your goals to determine if you’re a candidate for implants. We’ll answer all your questions and outline a personalized treatment plan.
02.
Implant Placement
Using precise, gentle techniques, the titanium implant post is placed in your jawbone. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is and how quickly they recover.
03.
Healing Period
The implant bonds with your jawbone over 3-6 months. During this integration period, we provide a temporary tooth so you can maintain your smile and function comfortably.
04.
Crown Placement
Once fully healed, we place your custom-crafted crown onto the implant. This final restoration is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in both appearance and function.
When to Consider Missing Tooth Replacements
When you lose a tooth, the clock starts ticking on potential complications. Ideally, you should consult with Dr. Saadat within 3-6 months of tooth loss, before significant bone deterioration or teeth shifting occurs. Many patients wonder which solution is right for them—a traditional bridge, a single dental implant, or a hybrid option. The answer depends on your specific situation, but understanding the key differences can help:
Dental Implant: The gold standard for single tooth replacement, implants replace both the root and crown of your missing tooth. They’re ideal for patients with good bone density who want a permanent, standalone solution that doesn’t affect adjacent teeth. While initially more expensive, their lifetime value often exceeds other options.
Traditional Bridge: A faster solution that uses neighboring teeth for support. Bridges may be recommended when adjacent teeth already require crowns or when quick replacement is necessary. Though less expensive upfront, bridges typically require replacement every 7-10 years and don’t prevent bone loss in the jaw.
Hybrid Implant-Supported Bridge: The best of both worlds for certain cases, especially when multiple adjacent teeth are missing. An implant-supported bridge combines the bone preservation benefits of implants with the spanning capability of bridges, often requiring fewer implants than individual replacements.
At Newbury Smiles, we carefully evaluate factors like bone density, adjacent tooth health, and your lifestyle needs to recommend the solution that will serve you best for years to come.
