Single Tooth Implant

Single Tooth Implants

Dental implants offer a secure and comfortable solution, whether it is for a single tooth replacement or full mouth reconstruction. Acting as an artificial tooth root, implants are surgically placed to provide a stable foundation for dental restorations, which provides the look, feel and function of a natural tooth.

Benefits from Dental Implants

• Increased chewing force – with stronger biting and chewing power, you may be able to consume a wider variety of food, as well as promote increased digestive health.
• Improved denture stability and function – with a more secure foundation, you may be able to eat, speak, and smile more confidently.
• Durability – implants last longer, are more natural looking, and do not encourage damage or decay to the healthy surrounding teeth.
