When Is the Best Time for a Single Tooth Implant?
When you lose a tooth, choosing the right timing for a dental implant determines up to 80% of the success rate of the restoration
When losing one tooth or multiple teeth in different positions, a single tooth dental implant is considered the most optimal restorative solution because it can recreate a tooth almost identical to a natural one without affecting adjacent teeth. However, choosing the right implant fixture is a common concern for many patients: Swiss implants, American implants, or Korean implants – which option is the most suitable?
Based on real clinical treatment experience at Smilux and modern implant dentistry standards, the article below will help you clearly understand each implant type and how to make the right choice for single tooth dental implants.
In essence, all genuine dental implant fixtures today are made from medical-grade titanium – a biocompatible material certified as safe by the FDA (United States), with up to 100% compatibility with the human body.
Titanium is non-toxic, non-allergenic, and capable of direct osseointegration with the jawbone, forming a solid foundation for long-lasting implant-supported teeth. At Smilux, the three most commonly used implant groups for single tooth restoration include: Swiss implants, American implants, and Korean implants.
Swiss dental implants are highly regarded for their absolute precision in design and long-term stability. This implant line is often recommended for patients who prioritize maximum durability and strong chewing performance.
