Even just one missing tooth can impact your oral health. Left untreated, a missing tooth can jeopardize the integrity of your jaw bone, increase the likelihood of additional tooth loss, and the risk of developing gum disease.

Replacing the missing tooth as soon as possible stabilizes the bone and prevents teeth from shifting. This prevents additional restorative dental procedures in the future. When treated early, the dentist can insert the implant post into the missing tooth’s socket. This method allows for predictable, sturdy, and natural-looking results.

Single Dental Implants Can:
  • Support bone retention
  • Prevent shifting of teeth
  • Help deter infection
  • Restore function to bite
  • Restore aesthetics to smile
  • Improve the quality of life

Dr. Weinstock will insert the small titanium post into your jawbone to begin implant treatment. He usually fits you with a temporary crown so you may eat and speak easily. The implant will take about three to eight months to heal fully.

As the dental implant heals, it fuses with bone, creating a permanent bond. Once healed, Dr. Weinstock will custom design a dental crown that will attach to your implant. Your crown will match the color of your teeth and blend in with your natural smile.

While dental implants are highly resistant to discoloration and decay, they depend on healthy bone and gum tissue to succeed. It is crucial to practice daily oral hygiene care to help maintain the health of your teeth, natural or prosthetic. Dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings two times a year can also help keep your gums and teeth healthy for years to come.

Single Dental Implant FAQs

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are small titanium screws that a dentist must surgically insert into the jaw bone to simulate the natural tooth root. They will replace a missing tooth and restore function and aesthetics to the smile. Once it heals, the implant is capped with a custom dental crown for natural and seamless results.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
