If you are either currently missing one tooth or are in need of an extraction, a single dental implant will provide the foundation for a new crown! This implant tooth replacement option will be able to replace your currently missing or soon to be missing tooth without drilling otherwise healthy neighboring teeth. Like all dental implants, you will be able to better preserve your gum and bone structure in the process.
A single tooth implant in the front of the mouth is one of the most challenging procedures as it requires extra attention to detail and cosmetic. Often times, these cases may require simultaneous procedures to ensure the best chance for a esthetic and functional end result.
Replacing a single back tooth can help the patient chew more efficiently and take stress off of other adjacent teeth. It is desirable to have a balanced bite so that both side of the mouth have an even number of teeth to chew with.
