Single Tooth Implants
Targeted Solutions to Improve Dental Aesthetics
Losing a single tooth can affect your oral health, confidence, and quality of life. Fortunately, there are several excellent options for single-tooth replacement, each with its own advantages. At YJ OMS Dental Implants & Oral Surgery, Dr. Jun will find the solution that best suits your needs and helps you regain a complete, healthy smile.
Why Replace a Single Tooth?
While it might not seem like an emergency, a missing tooth can cause serious problems for your oral and dental health. Even just one missing tooth can have the following impact:
Shifting teeth: Adjacent teeth can drift into the gap, causing misalignment and bite problems.
Bone loss: The jaw bone beneath the missing tooth can deteriorate over time, affecting the facial structure and making future tooth replacement more difficult.
Chewing difficulties: A missing tooth can make it harder to chew certain foods, potentially affecting your diet and nutrition.
Speech problems: Some missing teeth can affect speech clarity.
Aesthetic concerns: A gap in your smile can impact your self-confidence and appearance.
Single Tooth Replacement Options
If you’re looking for a permanent solution, a dental implant may be the best solution for your missing tooth. A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jaw bone, acting as a replacement tooth root. A crown is then attached to the implant, providing a natural-looking and long-lasting solution that is durable, preserves bone, and functions just like a natural tooth.
When it comes to dental implant surgery, Dr. Young Jun is highly experienced. He will perform a thorough analysis, create a personalized treatment plan for you, and fix your smile in a comfortable and relaxing environment.
Choosing the Right Tooth Replacement Option
The best replacement for a single missing tooth depends on several factors, including:
- The location of the missing tooth
- The health of your surrounding teeth and gums
- Your bone density
- Your budget
- Your aesthetic preferences
During your consultation, Dr. Jun will thoroughly evaluate your oral health and discuss your needs to determine the most suitable option.
