Replacing a missing tooth is a team decision
An implant-supported tooth has more than one component: an implant placed in the jaw and a restoration, such as a crown, attached to it. Our practice can discuss the restorative portion and coordinate with a surgical provider when needed.
The final tooth matters
The restoration needs to look appropriate next to neighboring teeth and function comfortably with your bite. That means considering space, gum contours, materials, and how the restoration will be cleaned over time.
There may be more than one good option
Implant restorations aren't the right choice for everyone. Bridges and removable options may also be worth discussing, depending on your oral health, timeline, and budget.

How long does the process take?
Timing depends on healing, the location of the missing tooth, and any preparatory treatment. Your providers can outline an individual timeline.
