Single tooth replacement

Single missing teeth occur in all areas of the mouth and can be restored by the placement of a dental implant and crown.

dental implant for single tooth




1. The implant is placed in the site of the missing tooth and a period of healing allowed.

2. An attachment and crown is made to restore the missing tooth.


1. Accept the space                                                                                                    For back teeth appearance may not be an issue but loss of a tooth can cause other teeth to tilt or drift into the space.

2. Tooth-supported fixed bridge
A traditional bridge involves grinding down adjacent teeth to support the bridge. It is a stable solution with good aesthetics and function that is fairly easy to install. However, this alternative has two main disadvantages: continuous bone resorption in the edentulous area, and sacrificing healthy teeth on behalf of the bridge.

3. Removable partial denture
Many patients find that they prefer a fixed restoration when they have a single tooth missing as it feels part of yourself.                                                                                                 
4.Resin-bonded bridge
This alternative has some clear advantages: it is quickly installed, functions well and since it is made of ceramic, it gives a high aesthetic result. Moreover, natural healthy teeth aren't affected. But they can come off during function.
