Am I Eligible for a Single Tooth Implant?
Most patients who are missing a tooth are eligible for a single tooth implant at our Killeen, TX clinic. Before determining candidacy, we will perform an oral exam to check for gum disease or infection, which must be treated prior to the implant procedure. Other factors we will consider include overall health, smoking habits, the placement and quality of bridges or dentures, and the length of time the tooth has been missing.
Single Tooth Implant Procedure
Before the single tooth implant procedure, we will take impressions of your mouth to properly place the implant. During a simple surgery, the implant will be placed into the jawbone, where it will fuse with the bone over a period of 3-6 months. After healing, a custom crown, bridge, or denture will be attached to the implant.
Recovery After Single Tooth Implant Surgery
After the single tooth implant surgery, you will be given care instructions to aid in healing. Some discomfort and swelling can occur for a few weeks after the procedure, and a soft or liquid food diet is recommended until the discomfort subsides. Over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs can help alleviate side effects. Full healing can take 3-6 months, after which time we will attach the dental restoration.
