A Custom Option for Replacing One Missing Tooth
A single-tooth dental implant may be an option when one tooth is missing or cannot be restored. The implant can serve as an anchor for a custom crown designed around the neighboring teeth, gum tissue, and bite.
Your care team evaluates the tooth location, bone and gum health, bite, neighboring teeth, and your overall goals before recommending treatment. This planning helps determine whether an implant, a bridge, or another solution is appropriate for your situation.

Designed for One Tooth

The final crown is planned around factors such as tooth shape, shade, contacts, gum tissue, and bite.
Long-Term Maintenance Discussion
Professional follow-up and consistent home hygiene are important parts of caring for an implant-supported crown and the surrounding tissues.
Digital Planning for a Single-Tooth Implant
