Why choose a single-tooth implant?
- Natural Appearance: Single-tooth implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a harmonious smile that you can confidently display.
- Durability: With proper care, a single-tooth implant can last a lifetime, providing a permanent solution to tooth loss.
- Preserves Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, which require the alteration of adjacent teeth, single-tooth implants leave your neighboring teeth untouched, promoting better long-term oral health.

How is a single-tooth implant placed?
The process involves several steps:
- Consultation: Dr. William B. Bohannan will evaluate your oral health and discuss the treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Implant Placement: A small titanium post is surgically implanted into your jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root.
- Healing Period: The implant fuses with the jawbone during a healing period, ensuring a stable foundation.
- Abutment Placement: A connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant, serving as the anchor for the crown.
- Crown Placement: A custom-made crown, crafted to match your natural teeth, is securely placed on the abutment.
Do single-tooth implants require special care?
No, single-tooth implants don't demand any extraordinary maintenance. Simply follow your regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups. With proper care, your implant will remain healthy and functional for years to come.
Are single-tooth implants noticeable?
Not at all! Single-tooth implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. Their seamless integration into your smile ensures that they are virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth.
