Single Tooth Implant
A single tooth implant is a modern solution for replacing one missing tooth. Unlike traditional bridges, this method does not require grinding or reducing the healthy adjacent teeth.
Instead, the implant is placed directly into the jawbone, providing a solid foundation for a crown that looks and functions like your natural tooth.
