Whether you're missing a tooth from an accident or poor dental health, leaving the space empty can cause serious problems. 

• The teeth adjacent to your missing tooth can change position to fill the gap
• The loss of your missing tooth’s root can cause your jawbone to shrink, making your face appear prematurely older 
• A missing tooth can affect the look of your smile, and -- most importantly -- your self-confidence.

In many situations, a dental implant is the best solution for replacing the missing tooth. 

Like the natural tooth root, a dental implant provides the strong foundation for a dental crown -- leaving you with a complete and beautiful smile.
