Single Tooth Implant in Da Nang

One implant and one crown to replace a single missing tooth — a standalone root and tooth that leaves your healthy neighbouring teeth untouched, planned with CBCT inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital.

  • Single missing tooth
  • CBCT-planned
  • Neighbouring teeth left intact

A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with a standalone titanium root and a custom crown on top. Because the implant sits in the gap on its own, the healthy teeth either side are left completely intact — unlike a bridge, which needs those neighbours reshaped to carry the replacement.

At Vinmec Picasso, the implant is planned with CBCT 3D imaging inside Vinmec Da Nang International Hospital, so its position is mapped against your bone, nerve and the tooth it needs to match before any surgery.

What replacing one tooth involves

The implant is placed into the gap, usually under local anesthesia, and then left to integrate with the bone over a healing period. Once it is stable, a crown is made to match the shape and shade of your other teeth and fitted on top. The result is a fixed tooth you clean like a natural one.

Implant or bridge

Both replace a single missing tooth well, and neither is automatically right. An implant keeps the neighbouring teeth untouched and replaces the root as well as the crown; a bridge can be faster and does not involve surgery, but relies on the adjacent teeth. After your examination and CBCT scan, you will get a written plan that lays out the option that fits your case, its timing and its fees — including whether any bone work is needed first.

Is it right for you?

Often recommended when:

  • You have a single gap, or a tooth that cannot be predictably saved
  • You would rather not have the teeth either side reshaped for a bridge
  • You have — or can achieve — enough bone to hold one implant

May not be the right option when:

  • Several adjacent teeth are missing (a bridge or multiple implants may suit better)
  • Bone volume or health factors mean grafting or an alternative is safer first

Suitability is confirmed only after a clinical examination and CBCT 3D imaging. Alternatives are discussed where they exist.

What the treatment involves

  1. Assessment & CBCT imaging

    A full examination and 3D scan show the bone, nerve position and space available so the implant is planned around your anatomy and the final crown.

  2. Written plan & options

    You receive a plan with timing and fees, and a clear comparison with alternatives such as a bridge, so you can choose with the full picture.

  3. Implant placement

    The implant is placed into the gap, usually under local anesthesia. A healing phase follows so the implant can integrate with the bone.

  4. Crown fitting

    Once the implant is stable, an impression or scan is taken and a custom crown is fitted and adjusted to your bite.

Recovery & aftercare

  • Mild soreness for a few days is normal; the team gives you written aftercare guidance.
  • The implant and crown are cleaned like a natural tooth, with attention to the gum around it.
  • A review confirms the implant has integrated before and after the crown is fitted.

Common questions

Why choose an implant over a bridge?
A single implant replaces just the missing tooth and its root, so the healthy teeth on either side are left untouched. A dental bridge relies on reshaping those neighbours to carry the replacement. Both are valid; the better option depends on your teeth, bone and preference, discussed after examination.
How long does the whole process take?
It is usually spread over a few months, because the implant needs time to integrate with the bone before the crown goes on. Your plan gives a realistic timeline for your case; results vary.
Is it painful?
Placement is normally done under local anesthesia and most people manage afterwards with standard pain relief. If you are anxious, sedation can be assessed with the hospital anesthesia team for suitable cases.
