A missing tooth affects more than just your appearance. It can:
A single dental implant is the gold standard solution that addresses all these concerns.
A single dental implant is a complete tooth replacement that consists of three parts:
Surgically placed in your jawbone to replace the tooth root
Connects the implant to the crown
The visible tooth portion is designed to match your natural teeth perfectly
Unlike bridges or partial dentures, a single implant doesn't affect your other teeth and provides the most natural feel and function.
Custom-matched to your existing teeth for seamless integration
Prevents bone loss that occurs with missing teeth
No need to alter healthy neighbouring teeth
Can last 20- 30+ years with proper care
Bite and eat with confidence
Brush and floss just like natural teeth
Keeps the remaining teeth in the proper position
Dr. Liu examines your mouth and takes 3D Cone Beam scans to evaluate bone density and plan precise implant placement.
Using advanced 3D guidance, the titanium implant is carefully placed in your jawbone. A temporary crown may be placed if appropriate.
Over 3-4 months, your implant integrates with your jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration.
Your custom-made crown is attached to the implant, completing your new tooth that looks, feels, and functions naturally.
Most people with a missing tooth and good oral health are candidates. Dr. Liu will assess your bone density and overall health during consultation.
From implant placement to final crown, the process typically takes 3-4 months to allow for proper healing and integration.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia so that you won't feel pain during surgery. Most patients experience minimal discomfort afterwards, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Care for your implant just as you would a natural tooth - brush twice daily, floss regularly, and schedule regular dental check-ups every 6 months.
Dr. Liu can often perform bone grafting to create adequate bone for implant placement, ensuring successful treatment even in challenging cases.
