Single-dental implants restore your natural smile and confidence! Tooth loss can happen as a result of deep dental decay, fracture or gum disease.
When a single tooth is lost, the treatment options are:
- Single-dental implant with a dental crown
- Tooth-supported fixed bridge
- Removable partial denture
- Resin-bonded bridge
Single-dental implants are the best choice to replace the missing tooth because it helps support bone, and looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
The procedure involves examination with appropriate X-rays, followed by planning of the surgery, placement of the implant, and then attachment of a dental crown to the implant.
Other treatment alternatives such as fixed bridges, partial dentures or resin-bonded bridges require modification of adjoining tooth structure. Altering tooth structure can potentially harm healthy teeth.
