Implantation of 1 tooth

Dental Implant for a Single Tooth: How Much Does One Implant with Installation Cost, and What Technologies Do Dr. VatanoV Dentists Use

Implantation is the “gold standard” for restoring a single lost tooth. In the case of bridge prosthetics, it is necessary to remove nerves and grind down adjacent teeth to cover them with crowns and use them as support. With implantation, this is not required. An artificial root is implanted directly in place of the removed tooth, and it becomes the support for a new tooth. The neighboring teeth do not participate in the formation of the dental structure. This results in less trauma to your natural teeth and a more durable outcome. Implants are placed for life.

Which Prosthetics to Choose for Replacing a Single Tooth

An implant is an artificial root on which a crown is placed during treatment. Microprostheses are made from various materials, and their aesthetics, strength, and cost depend on this.

The most popular types of crowns for a single tooth implantation are:

• Metal-ceramic – The base of the crown is made of metal, with a ceramic surface. The prosthesis combines strength and aesthetics while being affordable.
• Ceramic – The crown is entirely ceramic. Visually hard to distinguish from a real tooth, but due to its fragility, it is used only for replacing front teeth. It is not suitable for load-bearing molars.
• Zirconium dioxide – This modern material looks natural and beautiful. Its optimal strength allows it to be used for both chewing and front teeth. It is more expensive, but a durable option.

Any of these crowns can be used for implantation. The choice often depends solely on your financial capabilities.

Methods of Single Tooth Implantation

In our dental clinic, implants are installed using two methods:

• Immediate Implantation. Express implantation involves removing the damaged tooth followed by the installation of an artificial root. The screw is implanted immediately without waiting for the socket to heal. The operation is completed in one session. Express implantation is characterized by the quick restoration of the aesthetics and functionality of the dentition and cost savings due to fewer dental procedures and doctor visits.
• Classical Implantation. The procedure is divided into two stages: surgical and orthopedic. First, the artificial root is implanted, and after 3-6 months, the abutment and crown are placed. The delayed load reduces the risk of implant rejection.

The treatment protocol will be recommended by the doctor individually.

Advantages of the Technology

Implant installation is a worthy alternative to bridge prosthetics. The advantages of the technology include:

• Prevention of jawbone deformation and further atrophy.
• Reduced load on healthy teeth.
• No need to grind down adjacent teeth for the crown.
• Restoration of the functionality of the dentoalveolar system and the aesthetics of the dental arch.

Contraindications to implantation are minimal. In almost all cases, when a single tooth is missing, the problem can be resolved using this method.

What Affects the Cost

The cost of implantation is determined by several factors:

• The amount of preparatory work – diagnostics, anesthesia, sanitation, caries treatment, bone grafting, etc.
• Type of implant – the market offers both economy and premium class designs. Products from Israeli and South Korean brands are considered affordable. Implantation of one tooth using German and Swiss designs will be more expensive.
• Crown material – ceramic, zirconium, metal-ceramic, etc.

Our dentists will determine the list of upcoming work during the consultation and examination, offer different implants to choose from, and recommend the best option considering your budget. We will provide the cost before treatment begins.
