Single Tooth Replacement

Losing a tooth can be a traumatic experience. If it happens, you need to replace it with a solution that looks and feels just like a natural tooth.

If you have lost a tooth, you’ve undoubtedly felt the impact on your life. As well as the gap in your smile, you may also have problems with chewing and getting food stuck.

The traditional solution for filling the space is to place a bridge or make a partial plate with a false tooth. Both of these are compromised treatments and neither really fixes the problem. A bridge requires the adjacent teeth to be ground down which compromises their structural integrity. The new bridge spans the gap and joins all three teeth together. This can make cleaning difficult and they have a limited lifespan.

If you have partial plate filling the space, we know what you must have put up with! Statistics show that partial plates are rarely worn and need to be cleaned frequently. Chances are you've never become fully accustomed to losing such a vital part of yourself!

A single unit dental implant is the closest replica of a natural tooth. Like a tooth, it has both a ‘root’ and an independent crown. It doesn’t rely on the teeth around it for support and never gets removed as it is integrated into your jawbone. Whether it's a front tooth or a back tooth, dental implants can be placed in all areas of your mouth.
