Experience the Best Solution for Missing Teeth

The loss of even a single tooth can significantly impact your dental health, appearance, and self-esteem. Missing a tooth, particularly in a visible part of your smile, can make you feel self-conscious, leading you to avoid socializing, meeting new people, or smiling in photos. Aside from this reduced quality of life, the absence of a tooth can also cause neighboring teeth to shift. Over the long term, this can cause a cascade of complications as the movement causes damaging wear and tear on the remaining teeth. Additionally, it disrupts the balance of your bite, straining the jaw joint and potentially causing issues like arthritis, muscle strain, and headaches.

Fortunately, dental implants provide a highly effective solution for replacing a single missing tooth. A dental implant acts as a durable prosthetic that closely mimics the appearance, feel, and function of a natural tooth.

Single Dental Implant Treatment Process

Implant dentistry can present challenges, especially with single tooth dental implants. In most cases, placing a single implant is straightforward, but creating an implant and crown that seamlessly blend with your surrounding teeth can be quite complex. Since your gums and bone begin to shrink after losing a tooth, we have to replace not only the tooth but also the missing bone and gum to restore your natural, healthy smile. While this may not be a cosmetic concern for a back tooth, it is critical to exercise extreme care when dealing with a front tooth, as these physical changes can lead to significant complications.
