What Are Single-Tooth Implants?
When a single tooth is lost or removed, it is vital that the gap left is addressed. Single-tooth dental implants are a safe and effective option to fill that gap and restore the appearance of your smile. Sometimes called an implanted crown, a single-tooth implant not only looks and feels like your natural teeth but will function like one as well. This dental restoration will mimic the function of a natural tooth root by providing support for the attached crown and preventing jawbone deterioration. At Aesthetic Dentistry Associates, Dr. Umansky utilizes the highest quality dental implants with custom crowns to provide our clients with stunning results. If you are missing a tooth, call our office in Atascocita, TX today to schedule your consultation for a single-tooth implant.
How Do Single-Tooth Implants Work?
Placing dental implants is a multi-step process. The process involves surgically inserting a titanium screw, known as the implant post, into the jawbone at the missing tooth's location, acting as a substitute for the tooth's root and anchoring the restoration firmly. A healing period follows, allowing the jawbone to integrate with the biocompatible post.
After sufficient healing, Dr. Umansky will attach the dental implant restoration, or the artificial tooth, on top of the implant post. The type of restoration, whether it is a crown, bridge, or full or partial denture, depends on the number of teeth missing and your specific dental needs. Each implant restoration is tailored to blend seamlessly and comfortably with your natural smile.
What Are the Benefits of Single-Tooth Implants?
At Aesthetic Dentistry Associates, we often recommend single-tooth implants to our clients due to their wide range of benefits, making them a superior choice for tooth replacement. Here are some of the key advantages of opting for a single-tooth implant:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Single-tooth implants are designed to closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth, resulting in a beautiful, seamless smile. The implant integrates perfectly with your existing teeth, making it virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Preservation of Bone Health: The implant post stimulates the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with tooth loss, thus maintaining the natural structure of your face and jaw.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, single-tooth implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, which helps maintain more of your natural tooth structure.
- Durability and Longevity: Implants are known for their durability and can last many years with proper care.
- Enhanced Functionality: Single-tooth implants restore the full functionality of your mouth, allowing you to eat, speak, and chew just as you would with a natural tooth.
- Convenience: Single-tooth implants are as easy to care for as your natural teeth, simplifying your oral hygiene routine.
Aesthetic Dentistry Associates Reviews
I really like this dental office. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's a beautiful facility, it's clean, and they seem to always fit you in when needed. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they lack consistency as far as dentists that work there. I have had 3 different dentists the last three years. For whatever reason, they are always hiring new dentists to replace the ones that leave. All of them have been friendly and good dentists, I can't complain there, but I just wish I could build a good doctor/patient rapport with a single dentist, and not have to meet a new one every year.
The staff were great. Very thorough and no wait time. Great experience!
Highly recommend this place to everyone. Always so nice and friendly
Professional. Took extra time I needed and did not rush me.
Dr Bollman took good care of me.... No pain at any point having my first ever tooth pulled at age 53...
