Permanent Tooth Restoration

At Best Smiles in Glen Allen, we offer Single Tooth Implants & Bridges as reliable solutions to restore your smile and dental function. Whether you've lost a tooth due to decay, injury, or other reasons, our expert team is here to help you achieve a natural-looking, permanent result.

Single tooth implants provide a secure, long-lasting alternative to bridges or dentures. Alternatively, bridges are an excellent option for replacing missing teeth without the need for implants. Both solutions are designed to enhance your smile, restore your confidence, and improve your overall oral health.

What Are Single Tooth Implants & Bridges?

Both single tooth implants and bridges are highly effective solutions for addressing gaps left by missing teeth. They offer significant advantages over traditional options:
  • Natural Appearance: Both options are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Solid, Natural Chewing: Experience restored chewing power that feels remarkably similar to your natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without compromise.
  • Firm and Permanent Attachment: Unlike removable dentures, these solutions are securely and permanently fixed in your mouth, offering stability and confidence.
  • Significantly Lessens Bone Loss: Implants, in particular, help to prevent the bone loss that typically occurs after a tooth extraction, maintaining the integrity of your jawbone.
  • No Harm to Adjacent Teeth: Unlike some alternative treatments (like traditional bridges that require altering neighboring healthy teeth), single tooth implants stand alone, preserving the integrity of your adjacent natural teeth.

How It Works

A dental implant is a titanium screw that acts as a robust foundation to replace a missing tooth or teeth. It's composed of three main parts:
  • The Implant Post (Body): This is the foundational piece, surgically placed within your jawbone, where it acts as a secure anchor, much like a natural tooth root.
  • Abutment: This component serves as the crucial connector, linking the implant post to the visible part of your tooth.
  • Crown: This is the part you see in your mouth. It's the custom-made restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth. In some cases, multiple implants can support an implant bridge, replacing several missing teeth.

Single Tooth Implants Timeline

The process typically takes 5-6 months from start to finish.

Implant Placement and Integration

The implant body will be placed into your jawbone and allowed to integrate for a period of four months. This crucial healing phase ensures the implant fuses securely with your bone.

Implant Exposure and Gum Shaping

After the integration period, we'll expose the implants during a minor procedure. We'll then allow two weeks for your gums to naturally shape around them.

Abutment and Crown Fabrication

We will take impressions of your mouth and send them to an external lab. They will custom-fabricate your abutment and crown, a process that typically takes 3-4 weeks.

Abutment and Crown Installation

Once your custom abutment and crown are ready, we will securely install them, completing your new tooth restoration.
