Restore Your Oral Health
Damaged or missing teeth can make you self-conscious about the appearance of your smile. Whether your tooth is broken, decayed, or missing, you may find yourself hiding your smile around others. This dental flaw may even cause pain or discomfort while eating your favorite foods.
Dr. Maggie Chao and her staff understand the negative consequences that can come with a missing tooth and will provide you with a beautiful dental implant to restore it. Discover the benefits of this natural-looking tooth replacement.
What Is a Single Tooth Replacement?
If you’re missing a tooth or need to have a broken or decayed one extracted, Dr. Chao can replace it with a single dental implant. This restoration is secured directly to your jaw bone to resemble the look and feel of your natural teeth. It also stimulates bone growth through a process called osseointegration.
A single dental implant consists of three parts — an implant fixture, abutment, and dental crown. The implant fixture is made of strong titanium material and is inserted into your jawbone to act as the roots of the tooth. The abutment is the piece that connects the porcelain crown to the implant fixture and is usually made of titanium as well.
The only part of the implant that’s visible is the stunning dental crown. It’s made of durable porcelain and is matched to your other teeth so that no one will be able to tell it’s not your natural tooth.
Benefits of Single Dental Implants
As you may have already experienced, missing or damaged teeth can impact your emotions as well as your health. Dental implants are the best way to restore your oral health and help you gain back your confidence.
Single dental implants are:
- Durable — They allow you to eat whatever you want without falling out or becoming damaged.
- Long-lasting — If taken care of properly, they can last a lifetime.
- Natural-looking — Their color, size, and shape are matched to your natural teeth to ensure they blend in flawlessly.
