Single Tooth Implants vs. Bridges
Single tooth implants and bridges are effective solutions for restoring specific areas of your mouth affected by damage or loss.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Mimics the look of your natural teeth for a seamless blend.
- Functional Strength: Ensures reliable chewing capability.
- Stable Attachment: Secured firmly, eliminating any shifting.
- Bone Support: Helps maintain bone structure after tooth removal.
- Neighboring Teeth Protection: Preserves the integrity of adjacent teeth, unlike conventional bridges.
How It Works
A dental implant is a titanium post designed to serve as a strong foundation for replacing one or more missing teeth.
It consists of three key components:
- Implant Fixture: This titanium post is surgically embedded in the jawbone, acting as the root for the new tooth.
- Abutment: A connector that attaches to the implant fixture, extending above the gum line to provide support for the crown.
- Crown: The top part of the tooth, expertly crafted to mimic the shape and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless integration with your smile.
