At Happy Smiles Dental Group, Inc., we specialize in permanent tooth replacement with single dental implants. If you’re missing a tooth due to decay, injury, or extraction, a dental implant offers a durable, natural-looking solution that restores both function and aesthetics.
What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single-tooth implant is a standalone artificial tooth replacement consisting of a biocompatible titanium post, an abutment, and a custom-made crown. Surgically placed into the jawbone, it fuses with the bone to provide a strong, stable foundation, mimicking the function of a natural tooth.
Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant
- Permanent & Durable: Designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural Appearance: Matches the color and shape of your existing teeth.
- Preserves Jawbone Health: Prevents bone loss by stimulating the bone.
- Restores Chewing Function: Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering neighboring teeth.
- Comfortable & Stable: Feels and functions like a natural tooth.
