Say Goodbye to Missing Teeth with Single Tooth Implant
Missing a tooth can impact more than just your smile. It can also affect and decrease your confidence, the way you speak, eat, and laugh. However, with a single tooth dental implant, you can restore your smile and functionality seamlessly. These implants offer a permanent solution that looks and functions just like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile freely once again.
We at Veda dentistry offer a single tooth implant in Delhi and ensure that the replacement tooth fits well with the rest of your teeth, providing you with enhanced comfort, a natural look, and long-term dental health benefits.
The long lasting and reliable option for missing teeth replacement is dental implant. Whether you need a single tooth implant, multiple implants, or a full mouth restoration, dental implants offer a permanent, stable replacement. The single tooth implant is ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting the adjacent teeth.
In general, there are three primary types of dental implants that dentists may recommend based on your oral health:
These are the most common and widely used implants. Made of titanium, they are shaped like small screws and placed directly into the jawbone. They are a highly reliable option and suitable for most patients.
These implants are situated under the gum but above the jawbone, which makes them a viable option for you if you have insufficient jawbone density and cannot undergo bone augmentation procedures.
Zygomatic implants are a rarely known type and more complex type of implant, typically used for patients who lack sufficient jawbone and cannot receive traditional implants. These implants instead of the jawbone are placed in the cheekbone (zygoma).
1. Boosts Confidence
Missing teeth can make you self-conscious. A single tooth implant not only restores your smile but also helps you regain your self-esteem, allowing you to smile freely without worry.
2. Restores Functionality
A single tooth implant restores the full functionality of your teeth, letting you eat, speak, and chew comfortably, just as you would with natural teeth.
3. Preserves Adjacent Teeth
Unlike traditional dental bridges, a single tooth implant does not rely on the surrounding teeth for support. This means that your adjacent teeth remain intact, promoting long-term oral health.
4. Natural-Looking Results
A well-fitted implant looks like your natural teeth. Created to match your existing teeth in color and shape, the result is a natural-looking smile.
Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:
During your first meeting, your dentist will do a thorough examination, which includes reviewing your oral and overall health. Imaging tests, like X-rays or CBCT scans, will be performed to assess bone quality and determine the ideal implant site. Based on the report gathered, a personalized treatment plan will be created, addressing any concerns or limitations.
In some cases, you may need prior treatments before the actual implant surgery. For example, if there’s an existing damaged tooth, it might need extraction. If the bone density is poor, bone grafting may be required to provide a solid foundation for the implant.
The actual surgery involves placing the implant post into the jawbone. In some instances, bone grafts might be needed to strengthen the area before implant placement. Once the implant is in place, it will be left to heal for a few months to ensure it fuses with the bone through osseointegration.
After the implant has successfully integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached to it, and a custom-made crown is created to match your natural teeth. The crown is either cemented or screwed into the abutment, completing the process.
Dental implant surgery is conducted under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. After the surgery, most patients experience mild discomfort, similar to the feeling after a tooth extraction. This can be managed with prescribed pain medication, and antibiotics to prevent infection.
Swelling and bruising are common after the procedure, but these symptoms generally diminish after a few days. Saltwater rinses are recommended post-surgery to promote healing.

For an accurate estimate visit us as the final price may vary based on the severity of the case and the unique needs of the treatment.
The entire process from implant placement to crown placement typically takes 4 to 6 months, as the implant needs time to integrate with the bone.
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer.
There’s no strict age limit for dental implants, but the patient should have healthy gums and sufficient bone density.
Routine check-ups every 6 to 12 months are recommended to monitor the health of your implant and surrounding tissues.
Same-day implants are possible in certain cases, but it depends on your specific situation and whether there is sufficient bone structure.
Insufficient bone density, active gum disease, or certain health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes may affect your candidacy for implants.
Dental implant surgery is typically painless due to local anesthesia, and post-surgery discomfort can be managed easily.
Most patients can return to work within 1-2 days after the surgery, though some rest may be needed if there is significant swelling.
People with controlled diabetes or treated gum disease can often still get implants. However, it's important to manage these conditions before proceeding with surgery.
Dental implants are widely regarded as the best treatment for replacing missing teeth due to their permanence, natural appearance, and functionality. Bridges and dentures are also viable alternatives depending on individual needs.
