Unlike traditional bridges, which rely on adjacent teeth for support, a single tooth implant involves placing a titanium post directly into the jawbone. This method mimics the root of the natural tooth, creating a strong and permanent foundation for the replacement tooth. One of the key benefits of implants is that they do not require alterations to surrounding teeth, which helps preserve the health and structure of your remaining natural teeth. Additionally, the implant helps to stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs when a tooth is missing.
