Single or Multiple Tooth Dental Implants


Graphic of Implant

You may consider a single-tooth or multiple tooth implant after an extraction or for some other reason you are missing one or more teeth and want the benefits of an implant.  An implant is surgically placed in an opening that your dentist makes in the jawbone.  After the implant integrates (attaches) to your bone, it acts as a new “root” for the crown that will replace your missing tooth.

Our patient came to us with a cracked front tooth. After consultation of the various treatment options available to meet the  patients desires, the choice of an implant was made to achieve the esthetic benefits of a beautiful smile, the guaranteed endurance of the treatment, and the oral health benefit of strengthening jaw bone structure.
