A single tooth implant in Palma
Replacing one tooth without touching the ones next to it.
One tooth, one implant
A single implant replaces one lost tooth with a root of its own and its crown. Against the classic bridge it has an advantage that shows over the years: it does not require the adjacent teeth to be cut down, teeth that are usually healthy and would lose enamel irreversibly.
It pays not to let time pass
The bone in that area starts to resorb from the extraction onwards, and the loss is fastest in the first months. Replacing early avoids having to rebuild later, which saves a whole surgical stage and several months of treatment.
In some cases the implant can go in at the same appointment as the extraction, which preserves bone volume.
-
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.
