A single implant is inserted to replace your missing tooth. An abutment is affixed to the implant after the healing period, or osseointegration, is complete. The abutment works as a link, or connection, between the implant, and the newly formed tooth, or artificial crown. It replaces the part of your tooth that is seen above your gum-line.

An artificial crown is custom-made in a dental laboratory. It is made to match the size and color of your existing teeth, so it will become almost impossible to tell it apart from your natural teeth.
