If you are missing a tooth, regardless of the cause, an implant may be the solution. The dental implant procedure involves inserting a post, and the jaw bone grows around it. This post acts like a root, enabling the dentist to attach a crown to it. The result is a natural-looking tooth that enhances your smile – and your overall health. (Missing teeth can have a negative impact on your ability to chew, overall nutrition, and the long-term health of your jaw.)
An implant is often a better solution for a missing tooth than a bridge. Implants are less invasive and don’t compromise surrounding teeth. An implant also prevents your teeth and your bite from shifting, which can have long-term ramifications to your health.
