Whether you opt for a dental implant or another alternative, Dr. Anna Aller and her team will create a customized treatment plan to ensure your tooth replacement looks, feels, and functions naturally.
Dental Implant
The Gold Standard for Single-Tooth Replacement a dental implant is a titanium post that is placed directly into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated with the bone through a process called osseointegration, a custom-made dental crown is placed on top, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. This option not only restores the appearance of your smile but also prevents bone loss, preserving your facial structure over time.
- Custom-Fitted Crown for a Perfect Match
- Natural-Looking and Long-Lasting
- Preserves Jawbone Integrity
Other Options for Single-Tooth Replacement
While dental implants are the preferred choice for many, there are alternative solutions for replacing a single missing tooth:
A dental bridge consists of an artificial tooth (pontic) supported by crowns placed on the adjacent teeth. While it can restore the gap left by a missing tooth, this option does require modification of neighboring healthy teeth to anchor the bridge.
- Quick and Effective Replacement
- Restores Chewing Function
- Doesn’t Preserve Jawbone Like Implants
A partial denture is a removable appliance that can replace one or more missing teeth. It is supported by a lightweight metal or plastic framework that clasps onto the surrounding teeth for stability. Though less invasive, partial dentures can be less stable and less comfortable than fixed solutions.
- Removable and Affordable Option
- Easy to Maintain
- May Lack Long-Term Stability
A resin-bonded bridge, also known as a Maryland bridge, offers a conservative solution. The pontic is attached to metal or porcelain wings, which are bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth. This option avoids the need to modify healthy teeth while providing a fixed solution to restore your smile.
- Minimally Invasive
- Conservative on Surrounding Teeth
- Ideal for Front Teeth
