Keep reading to learn more about this option and how you can benefit from a single tooth implant.

Tooth Replacement Options

When it comes to replacing a single missing tooth, you essentially have 2 different options. The first is a traditional fixed bridge. This replacement literally bridges the gap in your smile by connecting a lifelike dental prosthetic to dental crowns on either side of the space. Patients choose this option because it is a relatively quick and affordable way to replace a tooth. However, bridges only restore the top portion of the tooth, and they require alteration of the 2 teeth next to the gap in your smile. But, if you choose a single tooth implant, you can restore your tooth from the roots up, maintaining the health and beauty of the rest of your smile.

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is a dental crown supported by a dental implant that is used to replace a missing tooth. The dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it has integrated with your jawbone, we can place a dental crown on top of it to seamlessly complete your smile. This dental implant option is a replacement that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural smile!

Benefits of Single Tooth Implants?

We offer single tooth implants because of the many benefits our patients can enjoy after getting them, including:

• Bone health: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone to prevent deterioration after tooth loss.
• Dental health: Because the dental implant supports the dental crown, your surrounding teeth won’t have to be altered to accommodate your replacement.
• Longevity: The dental implant itself can last for 30 years and even the rest of your life with proper care.
• Function: A single tooth implant looks and feels like a natural tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence.
