Single missing tooth solution
| |||||||||
|
|
"Dr. Shaner, what can be done for a single missing tooth?" |
| In the case of a single missing tooth, a
dental implant can be placed in the jawbone area of the missing tooth. The implant will serve as a replacement for a tooth root and an individual crown. The total apparatus is referred to as a single-tooth implant crown. Once in place, the implant crown will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. They are cleaned and flossed just like natural teeth, and best of all, they do not require any special tools to clean around them like bridges. Although dental implants will not decay, they require impeccable oral hygiene. Call us at (573) 756-4245 for more information about dental implants and if they are right for you. |
