A single-tooth dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement option that involves the placement of a small titanium post into the jawbone, to which a replacement tooth (crown) is then attached. Dental implants are popular for replacing missing teeth because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
One of the main benefits of a single-tooth dental implant over a dental bridge is that it can help preserve the surrounding teeth’ health. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can shift out of place and become misaligned, leading to further dental problems. By replacing the missing tooth with an implant, the surrounding teeth can stay in their proper positions, helping to maintain good oral function and prevent additional dental issues. In contrast, a dental bridge relies on the surrounding teeth for support and requires the modification of these teeth to hold the bridge in place.
Another advantage of a single-tooth dental implant is that it is a permanent solution. Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, unlike dental bridges, which need to be replaced every 5-15 years. This means you can care for your implant just like your natural teeth, with regular brushing and flossing.
If you are missing multiple teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.
