A single tooth implant in Alicante
Hardest of all when it is a tooth that shows.
One tooth, the highest cosmetic demand
Replacing a single tooth at the front is technically harder than rebuilding a whole arch, because the result sits next to the natural tooth and is compared with it directly: colour, translucency, shape and, above all, the line of the gum.
The gum decides
A well integrated implant with a badly designed emergence profile still looks wrong. We shape the gum contour with temporaries before the final crown is made, so the tissue takes the right form around the implant.
Where the colour has to match the natural tooth beside it, the shade is taken under controlled lighting.
-
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.
At this clinic
Front-tooth replacement at Luceros
At the front, the work done beforehand with temporaries is what separates a natural result from an obvious one.
The definitive crown is only made once the gum has taken the shape we were after.
- Emergence profile shaped with temporaries.
- Final crown made only after the gum has settled.

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.
