The value of complete set of permanent natural and healthy teeth is realized only when one has a missing tooth. Even a single missing tooth has a major influence on the health and functioning of oral cavity. Earlier a single or multiple missing teeth replacement was not taken seriously due to limited teeth replacement options.

But now, owing to the improved lifestyle people have become more and more aware and proactive in replacing even a single tooth. The newer and improved teeth replacement options like ‘dental implants’ have made it possible. Oral implantology has changed the face of dentistry exorbitantly.

Highlights

• The biggest advantage of single tooth implant over a dental bridge is that it does not hamper the adjacent healthy teeth.
• Dental implants are fixed in the jaw bone which helps to maintain the bone and gum health.
• Single tooth implants have the highest survival rate.
• Single tooth implants are more esthetic, durable and natural looking teeth replacement option.
• The cost and duration of single implants is totally worth the investment.
