The single tooth implant replaces the missing tooth's roots. A single tooth implant is a stand-along unit and does not involve treating the teeth next to it.
If you are missing one or more teeth, there are many reasons why you should replace them:
* You may not like how the gap looks
* Missing teeth may affect how you speak
* A missing molar tooth can make it harder to chew
* When a tooth is lost and not replaced, the teeth around it can
shift
*Bone loss can occur around the missing tooth. This may cause the remaining teeth to become loose over time.
* Loss of teeth and bone can make your face sag. You may look older.
