Dental Implants

2 Front Teeth with 1 Implant

If you are missing a central and a lateral incisor or a canine ("eye" tooth) and a lateral incisor next to it, you can replace them with a single dental implant. A dental implant restoration supported by a single dental implant will be esthetically superior to a restoration supported by two dental implants. If you are missing two front central teeth, then two dental implants will be necessary to support the missing teeth.

Here is the schematic illustration of this approach:

Dental Implant Procedure/2 Front Teeth with 1 Implant
Old technique: notice the gum loss, showing as the “black triangle” between two implant crowns
Dental Implant Procedure/2 Front Teeth with 1 Implant
New technique: single implant supports two implant crowns (notice the perfect gum contour)

Here is an example of one of our patient cases treated with a single dental implant to support missing two front teeth:
