Why a Single Missing Tooth Should Not Be Ignored
Even one gap in your smile can lead to gradual changes that affect more than just appearance. Without proper replacement, a missing tooth may cause: Adjacent teeth to shift out of position, Uneven pressure when chewing, Loss of jawbone in the area of the missing tooth, Changes in facial support over time, Increased wear on surrounding teeth, Higher risk of tooth decay in surrounding teeth due to exposed areas and shifting alignment. Addressing the issue early helps preserve your bite, your bone structure, and your overall dental health.
What Is a Single Tooth Implant
A single tooth implant replaces both the visible tooth and its root. This allows the restoration to function like a natural tooth without relying on neighboring teeth for support. Your implant includes: A titanium post, also known as an artificial root, placed in the jawbone to replace the tooth root, A connector that supports the final restoration, A custom crown designed to match your natural teeth in shape and colour. Once healed, the implant becomes a secure, permanent part of your smile.
