Single Tooth Implant In Lakeway, TX
Missing just one tooth? A single dental implant is a lasting, natural-looking solution that restores both the appearance and function of your smile. Whether you lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, a single tooth implant can help you regain confidence and maintain your oral health.
Restore Your Smile with a Single Tooth Implant
A single tooth implant consists of three parts:
- Titanium post: Surgically placed into the jawbone, replacing the root of your missing tooth.
- Abutment: A connector that joins the implant post to the crown.
- Dental crown: A custom-made cap that matches your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
