Replacing a Missing Tooth With a Dental Implant

​

When a single tooth is missing, a dental implant is one of the most natural and long-lasting ways to restore both appearance and function.

A dental implant works by replacing the entire tooth structure, not just what you see above the gumline. A small titanium implant post is carefully placed into the jawbone, where it acts like a natural tooth root. Over time, the implant bonds with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation.

Once the implant has healed, a custom-made dental crown is attached to the implant. This crown is designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, allowing it to blend seamlessly with your smile. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a real one.

Unlike bridges, a single tooth implant does not require altering nearby healthy teeth, and it helps prevent bone loss in the jaw. Patients can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing their replacement tooth is secure and natural-looking.

With proper care, a dental implant can last many years — often decades — making it one of the most effective solutions for replacing an individual missing tooth.

At Mexico Dental Implants, the cost of both stages of the surgery to place the dental implant body into the jawbone, and then the second stage of putting on the abutment and crown, will cost approximately $2000 all told. You will only pay for each stage as it is completed. In the US, the same work, both stages, will cost about $6000. You really get a significant savings by choosing to come to our Tijuana dental implant clinic as a "dental tourist".
