7 Reasons to Consider a Single-Tooth Dental Implant

It’s tough going through life with a missing tooth. There’s always a fear in the back of your mind that someone will notice it, especially if it’s a prominent front tooth. People often look down on those with missing teeth, judging them based on an absence that’s so small. But, as they say, “details matter no matter how small.” This is why Drs. K Favero and Stephen Blake Favero of Favero Family Dental are passionate about helping clients replace missing teeth with innovative treatments such as dental implants.

1. The Most Natural-Feeling and Looking Tooth Restoration

Good dental implants will look and feel like natural teeth. No one will ever be able to tell they’re implants. The porcelain material used in most implants can be modified to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth to create a seamless restoration.

Implants not only look and feel natural, but they also can improve your speech and allow you to chew the foods you love in comfort.

2. Best Functional Use

Unlike other restorations like dentures and bridges, you don’t have to worry about eating certain foods like corn on the cob and popcorn. Your new implant may even be more potent than the natural tooth you lost. You’ll never have to worry about embarrassing moments like your dentures falling out.

3. Preserves Jawbone Health

A missing tooth does more than impact the look and function of your smile. With that absence comes a degenerative process called bone resorption, in which bone tissue breaks down over time and gets released into your bloodstream. This causes your jawbone to become weaker and can destabilize your remaining teeth.

Dental implants can reverse this process by stimulating jawbone tissue, which is essential for maintaining facial structure as one age.

4. Less-Invasive

One of the best things about implants is that they do not require alteration or dependence on other teeth to do their job. Implants are stand-alone restorations that don’t require us to alter surrounding teeth to use as abutments.

5. Greater Durability and Longevity

By following the maintenance plan we provide, you can ensure your implant lasts a lifetime. The good news is that implants are relatively low-maintenance compared to other restorations like dentures.

Good oral hygiene practices, which you should already use for your natural teeth, are pretty much all you’ll need to keep your implants in tip-top shape. Over time, maintaining your implants will save you lots of time, money, and discomfort.

6. A Very Versatile Treatment

Implants can be used as stand-alone restoration treatments or in other restorations, such as dental bridges and even dentures, to help keep them more secure and stable. For example, implant-supported dentures are also called permanent dentures as they are unlikely to fall out. Depending on your needs, you can customize an implant treatment to restore one or even all of your teeth.

7. First-Class Care and Support
