Single Implant

re you missing a single tooth and looking for the best restoration option to fill the gap? Our highly skilled oral surgeons at Aspire Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery can place a durable and natural-looking dental implant for the best results. While there are alternatives like partial dentures and bridges, nothing comes as close to a natural tooth than an implant.

The Single Implant Procedure

After you lose a tooth or have it extracted, our surgeons will create a hole in the jawbone and place the implant inside. For single implants, it’s important to have enough bone density to support the new tooth. In a case where the bone has deteriorated too much, bone grafting is an option. If you qualify, we can increase the density by placing transplanted or artificial bone.

What Are the Benefits of a Single Implant?

Even if you’re only missing one tooth, it’s extremely important to get a proper restoration. Without it, the space can start to affect the rest of your smile and oral health. Some of the most noticeable benefits of an implant include:

• Looks and feels natural
• Prevents teeth from shifting
• Prevents facial sagging
• Decreases speed of bone deterioration
