Single Tooth Replacement Treatment

A missing single tooth surrounded by healthy teeth has unique demands. The challenge is to replace your now missing tooth for both function and appearance, without harming your remaining teeth or gum tissue.

Step One

The first step is the placement of the titanium implant. The implant will remain covered underneath the gum for approximately 3 to 6 months. During this time, osseointegration takes place.

Step Two

The second step of the procedure involves uncovering the implant and attaching connections. This completes the foundation on which your new tooth will be placed.

Step Three

The final step is the placement of your new tooth. With techniques that ensure optimal size, shape, and colour and fit, this replacement tooth will blend with your facial characteristics and remaining natural teeth.
