Single dental implant
An individual implant can replace the root of one missing tooth and support a custom dental crown.

From a single missing tooth to an implant-supported bridge or a complete All-on-4 / All-on-6 rehabilitation, EstheticaPlus plans implant treatment around your anatomy, function and long-term restorative needs.
Clinical examination and 3D CBCT imaging are used when appropriate to evaluate bone anatomy and define the treatment plan.
A dental implant acts as an artificial root that can support a crown, bridge or other prosthetic restoration. The appropriate solution depends on how many teeth are missing, where they are located and the condition of the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
For one missing tooth, a single implant can support an individual crown. When several adjacent teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge may allow several teeth to be replaced using a smaller number of implants.
For patients who have lost or are expected to lose most of the teeth in one arch, a fixed full-arch restoration such as All-on-4 or All-on-6 may be considered following detailed assessment.
Implant manufacturer Straumann also describes dental implants as foundations that can support crowns, bridges and other restorations. Straumann patient information ↗
These treatments solve different clinical problems. The recommended solution is determined after examination, imaging and prosthetic planning.
An individual implant can replace the root of one missing tooth and support a custom dental crown.
When several adjacent teeth are missing, two or more implants may support a fixed bridge replacing several teeth.
Four strategically positioned implants support a fixed full-arch restoration in selected clinical situations.
Six implants may be used to distribute support across a complete fixed arch when anatomy and planning allow.
Implants can also improve the retention and stability of a removable dental prosthesis.
Some implant sites require additional bone preparation before or during implant placement.
Implant planning is prosthetic as well as surgical: the final restoration needs to be considered before determining implant number and position.
Replace one tooth without using adjacent teeth as bridge supports.
Several replacement teeth may be supported by fewer implants.
A complete arch can be reconstructed using strategically positioned implants.
Implants can sometimes improve retention without using a fixed full-arch bridge.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are both approaches for supporting a fixed full-arch restoration. The difference is not simply “four versus six”.
Bone anatomy, implant distribution, bite forces, the opposing arch, prosthetic design and other clinical factors influence which solution may be appropriate.
Four implants are strategically positioned to support a complete fixed prosthetic arch.
Six implants can provide additional support distribution when anatomy and the treatment plan permit.
When several teeth are missing next to each other, strategically positioned implants can support a multi-unit fixed bridge.
This approach differs from a conventional tooth-supported bridge because the prosthesis is supported by implants rather than relying on neighbouring natural teeth.
Diagnosis, prosthetic design, implant positioning and healing all contribute to the final treatment plan.
Teeth, gums, bite, medical history and existing restorations are evaluated before planning.
Three-dimensional imaging may be used to evaluate available bone and nearby anatomical structures.
The final crown, bridge or full arch is considered when determining implant positioning.
Implant placement is followed by healing and restorative stages according to the individual protocol.
Bone volume and anatomy vary considerably between patients. Some implant sites can be treated directly, while others may require an additional procedure.
Bone augmentation may be considered when available bone volume is insufficient for the planned implant position.
In selected upper-jaw cases, sinus augmentation may be needed to create sufficient bone volume for implant treatment.
Implant placement may occur immediately, early or after healing depending on infection, bone conditions and the treatment plan.
International patients can send existing panoramic X-rays, CBCT scans when available and dental photographs before travelling.
This allows the team to prepare a preliminary orientation and identify what additional information may be required at the clinic.
X-rays, CBCT if available, photos and information about your dental history.
The team reviews your documents and identifies the likely treatment pathway.
Appointments can then be organised according to the expected clinical stages.
The final plan is established after clinical examination and the required diagnostic imaging.
Implant system, number of implants, prosthetic restoration and additional surgical procedures can all influence the final quotation.
Detailed EstheticaPlus treatment pages and manufacturer information for patients considering implant treatment.
A dental implant is an artificial root placed in the jawbone to support a dental restoration such as a crown, bridge or implant-retained prosthesis.
In suitable cases, yes. Several adjacent missing teeth can sometimes be replaced with a fixed bridge supported by a smaller number of implants. The number and position of implants are determined individually.
Both treatments support a fixed full-arch restoration. All-on-4 uses four implant supports and All-on-6 uses six. The appropriate choice depends on bone anatomy, occlusion, prosthetic design and other clinical factors.
Three-dimensional CBCT imaging is commonly used when appropriate for implant treatment because it can provide information about bone anatomy and nearby anatomical structures.
Depending on the site and treatment plan, bone grafting or another surgical approach may be discussed. Not every patient requires bone augmentation.
Yes. Existing panoramic X-rays, CBCT scans and photographs can be sent for an initial review. The definitive diagnosis and treatment plan are confirmed after examination in Tangier.
The final cost depends on the implant system, number of implants, type of restoration and whether additional procedures are required. Consult the current EstheticaPlus 2026 price page for indicative fees and request a personalised quotation.
