Single-tooth implant

If you are missing one tooth, an implant with a crown replaces it without touching the teeth next to it. A traditional bridge would require grinding down both neighbors to hold it.

Front teeth: aesthetics

In the front, the challenge is that the new tooth blends in. The patient in the video lost a front tooth: a single implant and a crown matched to her teeth were placed.

Back teeth: chewing

For premolars and molars, what matters is restoring your bite. Several implants can be placed in one appointment if the case allows it. How they are planned with 3D CT →

The stages

1. Consultation with scan and 3D CT.
2. Placement of the implant with guided surgery.
3. Healing: the implant fuses with the bone.
4. Final crown on the implant.

Frequently asked questions

Is an implant better than a bridge?

If the neighboring teeth are healthy, an implant avoids grinding them down. Your consultation shows what suits your case.

Will people notice it is an implant?

The crown is made in the shade and shape of your teeth so it blends in.
