Modern dental implant technology and procedures allow most single tooth implant patients, even those with a failing tooth to have an implant and temporary crown the same day. This scenario creates a seamless treatment with the patient usually leaving with a much better tooth than the original. After a few weeks, a permanent implant crown can be delivered to replace the temporary crown. The permanent crown is either screw or cement retained. Screw retention is the preferred method because it is more hygienic.

• No damage to natural teeth (compared to tooth bridge)
• Maintenance of Bone Volume (the implant preserves the bone)
• Less Force on Surrounding Teeth (the implant strengthens the surrounding teeth/arch)
• Better Aesthetic Outcome (if the implant is properly positioned)
• Less traumatic and less expensive in the long term
• You don’t have to worry about them while eating or speaking
• They last a lifetime, if maintained properly
• They look, feel and function just like a natural tooth.
• Once it’s healed, you don’t even feel it!
• They don’t move or slide in your mouth
• You don’t have to do anything extra to maintain them. Regular oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) is enough.
• They improve your self-esteem and confidence because they’re both strong and they look great
• People won’t even know you have dental implants

Why Choose Single Tooth Replacement atDeluxe Dentistry?

Many dentists and lab technicians agree that replacing a single, upper central incisor is the most difficult procedure in all of dentistry. This saying originated before implants. 

The use of porcelain to match enamel, even in the hands of an expert dental technician (ceramist) is a daunting task. 

The implant position, color and contour further complicate the challenge. There is no doubt that experience, tenacity and a commitment to excellence helps the process.
