Step 1
The need to replace a missing tooth could be the result of an accident or because there was no predisposition for a tooth at birth.
Step 2
The dental implant is installed in the jawbone. No healthy teeth are affected or damaged. With other replacement solutions, adjacent teeth might need to be ground down to support a bridge.
Step 3
The abutment is attached to the dental implant. A crown is then placed on the abutment, fitting perfectly at the edge of the gum.
Step 4
The new tooth is now complete and it is virtually impossible to see the difference between the existing teeth and the new tooth.
