If you're missing a tooth, you're not alone. Millions of Americans have lost at least one tooth, but luckily there are several dental interventions available to help restore your smile. One way to replace a missing tooth is with a single tooth dental implant, which is a long-lasting and extremely natural-looking option. We're proud to offer single tooth replacement treatments at  Complete Dental Care and are here to help you discover if this restoration is right for you. 

What Are the Benefits of a Single Tooth Replacement?

There are many benefits of getting a single tooth replacement, including: 

Single Tooth Replacement After-Care

Immediately after your implant has been placed, it's important to follow instructions from  your dentist on how to care for your mouth. This usually includes eating soft foods and avoiding hard or crunchy foods, brushing and flossing carefully around the implant site, and taking any prescribed medication. 

Once your single tooth replacement is complete, it's important to take care of your new tooth just like you would your natural teeth. This means brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. It's also important to avoid chewing on hard objects, such as ice or hard candy, which can damage your tooth. And be sure to avoid using your teeth as tools, such as opening packages or bottles with them. By following these simple after-care instructions, you can help ensure that your new tooth lasts for many years to come!

Is a Single Tooth Replacement Painful?

Most people report little to no pain after getting a single tooth dental implant. However, you may experience some discomfort or soreness in the days following your procedure. This is normal and can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medication. If you experience any severe pain or excessive bleeding, be sure to contact your dentist right away.
