Single Implant, Abutment & Crown
Single Implant, Abutment & Crown
Our most popular single-tooth solution rebuilds a missing tooth from the root up - a titanium implant, a custom-made abutment, and a lifelike zirconia or Ivoclar E-max crown that looks, feels, and functions just like your own tooth.
A single dental implant is a complete, standalone replacement for one missing tooth. A small titanium implant is placed into the jawbone where the root used to be, a custom abutment connects it to the visible crown, and a hand-finished zirconia or Ivoclar E-max crown sits on top. Because the implant integrates with your own bone, the result is fixed and permanent - there is nothing to remove, and it is brushed and flossed exactly like a natural tooth.
The materials matter, and we use premium European systems. We work with trusted implant brands including Straumann and Biodem, paired with high-strength zirconia or Ivoclar E-max ceramic for the crown. Each crown is individually shade-matched and finished in our own lab so it blends seamlessly with the teeth around it. Treatment normally follows two stages: a short appointment to place the implant, then a healing period of a few months before the final crown is fitted - which is why international patients often split the work across two visits.
What makes the Dental Med Austria version premium is European-standard precision applied to every step, from planning to the final polish. Before you travel, our team prepares a free personalised treatment plan within 24-48 hours, so you know exactly what is involved, how many trips you will need, and what your timeline looks like. The outcome is a single tooth that protects its neighbours - unlike a traditional bridge, which requires grinding down healthy adjacent teeth - and is built to last for many years of confident everyday use.
Expect mild swelling or tenderness for a few days after placement, easily managed with simple pain relief; once the implant has healed and the final crown is fitted, you simply brush and floss it like any other tooth and keep up regular check-ups.
Idéal pour : Anyone missing a single tooth who wants a permanent, natural-looking result without affecting the healthy teeth on either side.

La Procédure
Étape par étape
Assessment & 3D scan
A CBCT scan confirms you have the bone for an implant and lets us plan its exact position around nerves and neighbouring roots.
Implant placement
The titanium implant is placed into the gap in a short, comfortable appointment under local anaesthetic.
Healing & integration
Over roughly three months the implant fuses with your bone, the biology that makes it as solid as a natural root.
Abutment & impression
A custom abutment is fitted and a precise digital impression taken so your crown is built to match your bite and smile.
Crown fitting
Your individually shade-matched zirconia or E-max crown is fitted and adjusted for a seamless, natural result.
Indications
À qui s'adresse ce traitement ?
You're missing a single tooth
An implant replaces one tooth from the root up without touching the healthy teeth on either side, unlike a conventional bridge, which must be ground down.
You want to protect your other teeth
Because it stands alone, an implant preserves neighbouring teeth and stops them drifting into the gap.
You'd rather not have a denture or bridge
For a single gap, an implant is the most tooth-like, permanent and low-maintenance solution available.
Récupération
Récupération & guérison
First 48 hours
Mild tenderness around the site is normal and settles with simple pain relief and a soft diet. There is rarely significant swelling for a single implant.
First week
You return to normal activities quickly; keep the area clean and avoid chewing directly on it while it heals.
Months 1–3
The implant integrates quietly with the bone. There's little to feel, you simply keep it clean until the crown is fitted.
Bon à savoir
Comparaisons & considérations
Implant vs conventional bridge
A traditional bridge replaces one tooth by crowning the two healthy teeth beside the gap, permanently altering them. A single implant replaces just the missing tooth, leaves the neighbours untouched, and, unlike a bridge, preserves the bone under the gap. It typically outlasts a bridge and is easier to keep clean.
Après le traitement
Prendre soin de votre résultat
Brush and floss normally
Care for your implant crown exactly like a natural tooth, brush twice a day and floss around it, paying attention to the gumline.
Annual professional check
See a dentist once a year so the implant, crown and gum can be checked and cleaned professionally.
Protect from grinding
If you clench or grind, a nightguard protects both your implant crown and your natural teeth.
Planification
Votre plan & transparence
A single implant plus its custom abutment and crown is planned as a complete tooth, implant, abutment and crown, in one clear treatment plan rather than as separate, piecemeal steps. The honest answer is that it depends on your jaw, your bone and the materials you choose, so we give you a clear, personalised written treatment plan within 24–48 hours, with no obligation, once you send a panoramic X-ray or CBCT and a few photos.

Questions fréquentes
Questions sur single implant, abutment & crown
How long does a single implant take?+
Placement is usually a single short appointment; the final crown is fitted after a healing period of a few months. International patients often split this into two trips.
Will the crown look natural?+
Yes - it is individually shade-matched and hand-finished in our lab from zirconia or Ivoclar E-max to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Which implant brands do you use?+
We use premium European systems including Straumann and Biodem, chosen for their reliability and long track record, so your implant is built on a foundation trusted by dentists worldwide.
Is an implant better than a bridge?+
For a single missing tooth, an implant is usually the healthier long-term choice because it stands on its own and does not require grinding down the healthy teeth on either side, the way a traditional bridge does.
How do I start if I'm coming from abroad?+
Send us your details and any recent X-rays, and we will prepare a free personalised treatment plan within 24-48 hours outlining your timeline, the number of trips, and exactly what to expect.
