If you have lost a tooth, Drs. Barsoum, Cafarella, Reid, Heindel, Nord, Pincus and Chu may recommend a single-tooth dental implant to restore your smile. This advanced option for tooth replacement involves placing an implant post directly into the jawbone where your missing tooth used to be. The post acts as a stable foundation for a custom-made dental crown that will be carefully designed to match the rest of your teeth. Once the implant has successfully fused with the jawbone, we will complete your treatment by placing the crown on top, providing you with a durable and natural-looking replacement.

Single-tooth implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement methods. For example, a dental bridge requires the reshaping of neighboring teeth to anchor the replacement, which can compromise the long-term health of those teeth. In contrast, an implant does not affect adjacent teeth, preserving their natural structure. Additionally, the implant post integrates with the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures your new tooth will remain secure and stable.
Another benefit of a single-tooth dental implant is that it feels and functions just like your natural teeth. You can speak, eat, and smile with confidence, knowing your implant is as strong as a natural tooth. Implants are also easy to maintain with regular brushing and flossing, making them an ideal solution for long-term oral health.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement due to their durability, appearance, and function. When properly cared for with good oral hygiene and routine dental checkups, they are designed to last a lifetime. If you are considering a single-tooth implant, our dentists will evaluate your oral health to determine if you are a candidate.
