A single tooth implant in Fortuny
Replaces a missing tooth without working on the neighbouring ones.
One tooth, one implant
A single implant replaces one lost tooth with an artificial root and its crown. Its great advantage over the classic bridge is that it does not require the adjacent teeth to be ground down — teeth that are usually healthy and would lose enamel for good.

When to place it
The sooner the better, because the bone starts to resorb from the moment of extraction. In some cases the implant can go in at the same appointment as the extraction, which preserves bone volume and shortens the treatment considerably.
A tooth missing for years usually means the bone volume has to be assessed before planning.
-
Leaves neighbouring teeth untouched
Unlike a bridge, it does not require cutting down any healthy tooth to hold it.
-
Functions like your own tooth
It is fixed to the bone and not to the gum, so it is used for biting and cleaned like the rest of the teeth.
-
A lasting solution
With good maintenance, it does not have to be replaced again.
At this clinic
Single-tooth replacement at Fortuny
It is the commonest treatment at this practice, particularly at the front, where the cosmetic demand is highest and the line of the gum decides the result.
The crown is designed digitally and tried in before the definitive one is made.
- No grinding down of neighbouring teeth.
- Immediate placement after extraction where possible.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 A single-tooth implant or a bridge?
Both replace a missing tooth, but in different ways. The implant is fixed to the bone and does not touch the neighbouring teeth; the bridge rests on those two teeth, which have to be cut down. When those teeth are healthy, the implant is the more conservative alternative.
02 How long does a single implant need to integrate?
Normally the implant finishes integrating into the bone in a few months. During that period, depending on the case, a temporary tooth can be worn so the gap is not visible.
03 Can you tell an implant from a natural tooth?
No, as long as the crown is well designed. It is made to measure in shape, colour and proportion so that it fits with the neighbouring teeth.
04 What if there isn't enough bone in that area?
First it is assessed with a 3D X-ray, before proposing anything. When bone volume is not enough, there are regeneration techniques that solve this before the implant is placed.
