Potomac, Ashburn Tooth Replacement

If you are a patient who is missing a single tooth, a dental implant might be the right dental intervention for you!

The team at WestLake Dental Care has years of experience in providing patients with single tooth implants and helping to restore their smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

In order to understand what dental implants are, you first needs to know the materials an implant is made of. A dental implant is created using titanium alloy rods, which are screwed into the patient’s jawbone. This acts as a tooth’s root, and a crown is placed on top of this rod to look like a natural tooth. A dental implant is made of the same materials, no matter how many implants you need. Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. The titanium in your jaw will stay in place, the crown may need to be replaced if it gets chipped or damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions About Single Tooth Replacements

How long does the single tooth replacement process take?

The process typically takes a few months to complete, allowing time for the titanium rod to fuse with the jawbone before placing the permanent crown.

Can I eat normally after getting a single tooth implant?

Yes, once the implant has fully healed and the permanent crown is placed, you can eat and chew as you would with a natural tooth.

What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?

Leaving a gap from a missing tooth can lead to shifting of nearby teeth, bone loss in the jaw, and difficulties with chewing or speaking.

Are single tooth implants a good option for front teeth?

Absolutely! Single tooth implants are designed to look natural and can be customized to perfectly match the appearance of your front teeth.
