A single tooth implant is often the best option to replace one missing tooth. It feels like your own natural tooth, looks attractive and is long-lasting. This option does not compromise adjoining teeth.
The Treatment Steps:
One
The first step is to replace missing tooth roots by placing titanium implant. The implant will remain covered underneath the gum for approximately three to six months. During that time, osseointegration takes place.
Two
The second step of the procedure involves uncovering the implant and attaching an extension. This completes the foundation on which your new tooth will be placed.
Three
The final step is the placement of your new tooth. With techniques that ensure optimal size, shape, color and fit, these replacement teeth will blend with your facial characteristics and remaining natural teeth.
