What is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is the gold standard for replacing a lost tooth. Unlike bridges, it doesn’t require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth. It consists of three primary components:

  • 1
    The Implant (Root): A titanium or zirconia screw that fuses with your jawbone through osseointegration.
  • 2
    The Abutment: A connector piece that secures the crown to the implant post.
  • 3
    The Crown: The visible part of the tooth, custom-crafted to match your natural teeth.

Your Journey: The 3-Step Process

1

Permanent Crown Placement

The implant post is surgically placed in the jawbone. This is a quick outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. Sedation options are available to ensure comfort.

2

Permanent Crown Placement

A healing period of 3-6 months allows the bone to bond with the implant. A temporary crown may be provided for aesthetics.

3

Permanent Crown Placement

Once healed, your custom-made porcelain or zirconia crown is permanently attached to complete your smile.

Material Options: Porcelain vs Zirconia

Choose the right material based on your aesthetic needs and durability requirements.

Feature Porcelain (PFM) Zirconia (Solid)
Durability High (10-15 years) Maximum (Lifetime potential)
Aesthetics Excellent color matching Natural translucency, no “dark line”
Best For Back molars Front teeth & high-pressure bite
Avg. Mexico Price $350 – $500 $550 – $800

Common Questions

Typically two trips are needed. The first for the implant surgery (1-3 days) and the second, 4-6 months later, to place the permanent crown (2-4 days).
Yes, most reputable Mexico clinics offer a lifetime warranty on the implant post and 5-10 years on the restoration (crown), provided you follow recommended maintenance.
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain. Post-op discomfort is usually managed with standard pain relievers for 2-3 days.
If you need multiple teeth, we offer All-on-4 or Full Mouth Restoration packages which provide even greater savings.
Even with flights and hotels, patients typically save $2,000 – $3,000 per tooth compared to US costs. Savings grow significantly with more implants.
We recommend staying 24-48 hours post-surgery to ensure there are no immediate complications before your flight.
Yes, individual implants provide maximum flexibility and mimic natural tooth function better than bridges. You can replace multiple non-adjacent teeth with single implants, or even adjacent teeth, which preserves the jawbone and avoids altering healthy neighboring teeth. For a full arch, we often recommend All-on-4 systems for cost-efficiency.
