Missing Tooth and Dental Implant PlacementWhen a patient’s oral health has suffered, our dentists need to look at the extent of the damage in order to determine the best restoration. You could get a very different treatment based on whether one tooth needs to be restored or several teeth need to be fixed. A very popular dental restoration is dental implants because they are incredibly durable, and they can be used to treat one tooth or many teeth.

Losing even just one tooth can be a traumatic experience, and when you go to see the dentist, there will be numerous options to replace it. One of the most popular options is dental implants, which essentially serve as artificial tooth roots that then have a crown placed on top of them to serve as the replacement tooth. It is possible to have several implants placed in a patient’s jaw in order to replace all the teeth in the mouth. This is an option to consider if you are also considering dentures. But even if you only need one tooth replaced, you should see our expert in single tooth dental implants in Los Angeles.
