Problem Single tooth gap

• Tooth extracted due to trauma, infection, failed root fi lling and/or root fracture

• Crown keeps falling out and/or not enough tooth left to attach crown

• Repeated infections

• Permanent tooth missing from birth

Solution Implant-supported single crown

• Looks and functions just like a natural tooth

• No need to damage adjacent healthy teeth

• Continued use (loading) prevents resorption shrinkage of the underlying bone

• Implant-supported tooth prevents lateral movement (drifting) of adjacent teeth

and over-eruption of opposite tooth

• Very high and predictable long-term success (98 percent) with conventional

oral hygiene dental care

Alternatives Leave a gap

• Unsightly

• May impair eating, speech, confi dence

• Bone and gum in the gap will shrink

• Positions of adjacent and opposing teeth will be distorted over time

Conventional bridge

• Healthy adjacent teeth need to be damaged to attach/support the bridge, thus

compromising their long-term health

• Bone supporting the gum beneath bridge will shrink due to lack of use

• Extra stress on supporting teeth during chewing
