Single Tooth Dental Implants
The Gold Standard for Replacing Individual Missing Teeth
A single missing tooth can do more than just create a gap in your smile; it can lead to shifting teeth, bone loss, and a decline in oral health. At Fixed New Teeth, we provide single tooth dental implants as the most effective and durable solution for individual tooth replacement.
Single Tooth Dental Implants
Unlike traditional bridges that require the grinding down of healthy adjacent teeth, an implant acts as a standalone replacement that mimics the entire structure of a natural tooth—from the root to the crown. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Xhoana Gjelaj, we utilize advanced technology to ensure your new implant blends seamlessly with your existing smile in both function and appearance.
Anatomical Preservation and Bone Health
The most significant advantage of single tooth dental implants is their ability to preserve the natural jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the bone that once supported it begins to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. An implant is the only restorative option that integrates directly with the bone through a process called osseointegration. By acting as a prosthetic root, the implant provides the necessary stimulation to maintain your facial structure and prevent the "sunken" appearance often associated with tooth loss.
Protecting Your Adjacent Natural Teeth
In the past, a dental bridge was the primary method for replacing a single tooth. However, bridges require the permanent alteration of the neighboring teeth to serve as anchors. Single tooth dental implants eliminate this necessity. Because the implant is self-supporting, your surrounding healthy teeth remain untouched and intact. This conservative approach to dentistry ensures the long-term health of your entire mouth while providing a restoration that is much easier to clean and maintain through standard brushing and flossing.
Precision Placement with 3D Technology
At Fixed New Teeth, we remove the guesswork from the implantation process. We utilize high-resolution 3D Cone-Beam CT imaging to map out the precise location of your missing tooth’s root. This allows us to assess bone density and nerve locations with surgical accuracy. By using this digital blueprint, we can place single tooth dental implants with minimal invasiveness, leading to faster healing times and highly predictable aesthetic results that match the contour of your natural gum line.
Aesthetics and Life-Like Functionality
A common concern for patients is whether a replacement tooth will look artificial. Our custom-designed porcelain crowns are shade-matched to your surrounding teeth to ensure a flawless transition. Beyond the look, single tooth dental implants restore 100% of your biting force. Whether you are eating a crisp apple or speaking in a professional setting, your implant will feel stable and secure, providing a level of confidence that removable options simply cannot match.
