What is Single Tooth Implant?
Over time, the gap that occurs when you lose a single tooth ceases to be just an aesthetic problem; This condition may be accompanied by shifting of neighboring teeth, resorption of the jaw bone and difficulty in chewing. A single tooth implant closes this gap functionally and aesthetically by using a titanium screw placed in place of the missing tooth and a porcelain or zirconium crown glued on it, without touching the neighboring teeth.
At Clinic Marmara, single tooth implant applications begin with examination and digital tomography evaluation. A personalized treatment plan is prepared for each patient by considering bone density, the condition of adjacent teeth and the bite relationship separately.
