A single tooth implant in Algeciras
The commonest case, and the one that rewards not waiting.
The most frequent case of all
Replacing one tooth is the most common implant treatment there is. Where the bone has held up and the gum is healthy it is also the most predictable: short surgery, a brief recovery, and a crown made to measure once the implant has integrated.
Waiting costs you
The bone in that spot begins to shrink from the day of the extraction, and the fastest loss happens in the first months. Replacing the tooth early avoids having to rebuild the site later, which saves a whole surgical stage and several months of treatment.
If the gap is an old one, the CT scan will say whether regeneration is needed first.
-
Leaves neighbouring teeth untouched
Unlike a bridge, no healthy tooth needs to be shaped down to anchor it.
-
Functions like your own tooth
It anchors into the bone, not the gum: it bites and is cared for just like the rest of your teeth.
-
A lasting solution
Properly maintained, it shouldn't need replacing.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 A single-tooth implant or a bridge?
Both replace a missing tooth, but differently: the implant anchors into the bone without touching the neighbouring teeth; the bridge anchors by shaping those two teeth down. The implant is the more conservative option when those teeth are healthy.
02 How long does a single-tooth implant take to integrate?
Bone integration usually takes a few months. A provisional tooth can be worn during that time, depending on the case, so the gap isn't visible.
03 Does it look like an implant, or like a real tooth?
Not if the crown is well designed. It's custom-made for shape, colour and proportion, to blend in with the neighbouring teeth.
04 What if I don't have enough bone in that area?
It's assessed with a 3D X-ray before proposing anything. If bone volume is insufficient, regeneration techniques can resolve it before the implant is placed.
