Replacing a Single Tooth with Dental Implants

Dental implants are today's method of choice for replacing missing teeth. They are long-lasting, natural in appearance, and promote jaw health. We work in tandem with your dentist to maximize your oral health for a lifetime.
A natural tooth is anchored into the jawbone by its tooth root. Tooth roots attach firmly to the jawbone and keep your teeth stable when chewing solid foods.
Traditionally, if you were missing a tooth or if one needed to be extracted, the healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth would be cut down and replaced with a three-unit "bridge."
