Missing Single Tooth
When you're missing a single tooth, the best permanent replacement is a dental implant placed in your jaw to replace the root, and a dental crown placed over it. Another option for replacing a missing tooth or teeth is a dental bridge or a removable partial denture
Here's an explanation of the dental implant procedure:
Before the procedure
Expect a thorough examination. x-rays along with examination of occlusion, periodontal health, and general health will be performed.
Placing the dental implant
A titanium implant, chosen and sized to fit you and the space allowed, will be carefully and precisely placed in the space of the missing tooth. Getting this titanium post placed just right is critical to the success of this procedure.
Attaching the new crown
A dental crown, made out of porcelain and custom crafted to fit your mouth, your bite, and the exact color of your adjacent teeth, will be placed.
Allow healing to take place
With today's technology, healing time is minimal. Specialists at FMS are pioneers in placing Teeth-in-an-Hour. No longer you have to wait six weeks to have your teeth replaced with implants.
