Single Tooth Replacement

​

There are multiple reasons why people have missing teeth, such as injury, tooth decay, gum disease, failed root canal therapy or congenitally missing. Not replacing missing teeth can have future consequences to your dental health, such as:

  • compromised esthetic appearance

  • Reduced chewing function

  • Jaw bone loss

  • Shifting and tilting of surrounding teeth

 

This is why it’s always better to think about ways of replacing it as soon as you can. There are multiple treatment options to consider when replacing a missing tooth. Implant and bridge are the two most common ways. While bridges require cutting of the adjacent teeth and more time and effort in future home care, dental implants preserves surrounding teeth better and  involve less troubles down the road. As a matter of fact, dental implants have became the gold standard of replacing a single tooth.

Dental implant supported crown typically have three parts:

​

1) The implant: A screw that serves as a root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw.

2) The abutment: A permanent, but removable by your doctor, connector that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth.

3) The crown (or prosthetic tooth): This is the part of the tooth that you can see. It’s usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and good looks.

Process of Single Tooth Replacement

​

The first step is placing  the implant into the jawbone. Over a period of three to six months, the implant fused into the jawbone to provide a solid anchor for the dental crown. A temporary tooth or a flipper may be placed over this area to maintain appearance until the permanent crown is placed.

​

The next step is to taking impression for the abutment selection and crown fabrication.

​

Finally, a customized abutment and crown is then fixed to the implant. The dental prosthesis will match your natural tooth color and shape for life-like function and appearance. Once in place, it’s easy to look after your new crown as you can simply brush and floss it just like your natural teeth.
