Implant Dentistry
A single tooth implant is the most advanced and natural-looking solution for replacing a missing tooth. Unlike a dental bridge, an implant replaces both the tooth and its root, providing long-term stability and preserving jawbone health.
Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant
- Looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth
- Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure
- No need to alter adjacent healthy teeth
- Restores full chewing and speaking ability
- Long-lasting and durable with proper care
The Implant Process
- Consultation: A comprehensive exam and X-rays determine candidacy.
- Implant Placement: A titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone.
- Healing Period: The implant integrates with the bone over a few months.
- Abutment Placement: A connector piece is attached to the implant.
- Crown Placement: A custom-made crown restores the appearance and function of your tooth.
