Understanding your care

Replacing one missing tooth

For a single missing tooth, a dental implant can support a crown without using neighboring teeth for support in the way a traditional tooth-supported bridge does. The implant post, abutment, and crown each play a role in the final restoration.

Planning includes an individual evaluation of the missing-tooth area and overall oral health. Healing and integration are part of the process, and the timeline is specific to each patient.

Personalized guidance
