Single Tooth Dental Implant

Single Tooth Dental Implant
in Chattanooga, TN

A single tooth dental implant is a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing one missing tooth, restoring both function and confidence in your smile. At MDRN MUSE, we use precision-designed titanium implant posts anchored into the jawbone and custom porcelain crowns crafted to match your surrounding teeth. This reliable restoration not only looks beautiful but also preserves bone and supports long-term oral health. Whether you’re replacing a lost tooth or upgrading an old restoration, our implant care is tailored to your comfort and lasting results.

What is a Single Tooth Dental Implant?

A single tooth dental implant is a permanent solution for replacing one missing tooth. It’s designed to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth while helping protect your long-term oral health.

A dental implant has three main parts:

  • Titanium implant post
    A small, biocompatible post that is placed into the jawbone where your natural tooth root used to be. Over time, it bonds with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation.
  • Abutment
    A small connector piece that attaches to the implant after healing. It supports the final restoration.
  • Custom porcelain crown
    A handcrafted crown that is shaped and shaded to match your surrounding teeth, restoring your ability to bite, speak, and smile confidently.

Unlike a traditional bridge, a single implant does not require altering the neighboring teeth. It replaces the missing tooth from the root up, helping preserve bone and maintain the natural structure of your smile.

The Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant

Confidence-Boosting Results

A single dental implant is crafted to match the shape, color, and contour of your natural teeth. Once complete, it blends effortlessly into your smile so you can eat, speak, and laugh without worrying about a visible replacement.

Supports Long-Term Oral Health

Because an implant replaces the tooth from the root up, it helps maintain jawbone strength and prevents shifting of nearby teeth. This keeps your bite stable and supports the long-term health and structure of your smile.

Built for Strength and Longevity

Guided implant placement allows for precise positioning and lasting stability. With proper care and routine visits, a single dental implant can serve as a durable, dependable solution designed to support your smile for decades.

PERSONALIZED EVALUATION

We begin with a New Patient Experience exam and advanced 3D imaging of your jaw. This allows us to evaluate bone quality, spacing, and overall oral health. Using this information, we design a precise treatment plan tailored specifically to your smile. You’ll understand each step before we move forward.

PRECISION GUIDED IMPLANT PLACEMENT

Using detailed 3D scans and digital planning, we create a guided approach for your implant placement. This means your implant is positioned with exact accuracy in the ideal location within your jawbone. Guided placement improves stability, supports long-term success, and helps ensure a smooth, comfortable procedure.

INTEGRATION AND HEALING

After placement, your implant naturally bonds with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Over the next few months, the bone grows around the implant, securing it firmly in place. We monitor your healing closely to make sure everything is progressing beautifully.

CUSTOM CROWN DELIVERY

Once healing is complete, we attach your custom-designed porcelain crown. It is shaped and shaded to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. The result is a fully restored smile that looks natural, feels strong, and allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
