At TruCare Dental, we specialize in single-tooth dental implants, providing a sophisticated and effective solution for replacing individual missing teeth. This option is perfect for those who have lost a tooth due to an accident, decay or other causes, offering a replacement that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth in both appearance and function.
Single-Tooth Implants: A Closer Look
Our single-tooth dental implants involve a two-part process. First, a high-quality titanium post is implanted into the jawbone, acting as a new, artificial tooth root. This post provides a firm foundation for the implant. After the post integrates with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached, perfectly designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape and size.
Why Choose Single-Tooth Dental Implants?
- Natural-Looking Results: Designed to mimic your own teeth, ensuring a natural and cohesive appearance.
- Maintains Oral Health: Helps to keep the adjacent teeth stable and supports overall jawbone health.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, these implants can last a lifetime.
- Enhanced Functionality: Restores your ability to chew and speak just as you would with your natural tooth.
- Non-Invasive to Neighboring Teeth: Unlike some other restorative procedures, single-tooth implants do not require altering the surrounding teeth.
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may be ideal for a single-tooth implant if you:
- Have one missing tooth.
- Have a sufficiently strong jawbone to support the implant or are a candidate for bone grafting.
- Are dedicated to good oral hygiene practices.
Our dental experts, including Dr. Andrea Patterson, Dr. Kendra Velázquez and Dr. Margo Rainey, will conduct an in-depth assessment to ensure that a single-tooth implant is the best solution for your dental needs.
The Process of Getting a Single-Tooth Implant
Your journey towards a restored smile includes the following stages:
- In-Depth Consultation: A comprehensive examination to devise a bespoke treatment strategy.
