In the case of a single
missing tooth, a dental implant can be placed in the jawbone area of the
missing tooth. The implant will serve as a replacement for a tooth root
and an individual crown. The total apparatus is referred to as a
single-tooth implant crown. Once in place, the implant crown will look,
feel, and function like a natural tooth. They are cleaned and flossed just
like natural teeth, and best of all, they do not require any special tools
to clean around them like bridges. Although dental implants will not
decay, they require impeccable oral
hygiene.
