Single Tooth Replacement

Replace Multiple Teeth

Occasionally, a tooth is lost due to an accident or a dental problem.

TThe best way to replace a missing tooth in most cases is with a dental implant. The procedure is highly reliable and easy to tolerate. Removal of a failed natural tooth and reconstruction with a new dental implant can often be performed at the same appointment. If the missing tooth is in the aesthetic zone, such as a front tooth, a temporary tooth can usually be fabricated the same day to avoid the social stigma of a missing front tooth.

Teeth in a Day: Consult with Dr. Eric

Dental implants offer several advantages over replacement options. They look like and function like your natural tooth, first and foremost. As for a single tooth, a dental implant replaces it without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth.

Indeed, as compared with a tooth-supported fixed bridge, a dental implant is superior as it does not damage or rely on nearby “natural” teeth. Furthermore, because a dental implant replaces the root of your tooth, it better assists bone preservation. Implants integrate well with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.

“No bone?” No Problem!

A single implant can be more beautiful (natural-looking) and easier to maintain than a bridge. For these reasons and more, reach out to your dental professional and evaluate dental implants as the best option for single tooth loss. Many patients come to our center having been turned down by other practitioners due to lack of bone to support their implants.
