Single Dental Implant To Replace A Molar Tooth

Our case of the month for September 2016 involves a single dental implant to replace a molar tooth. Molar teeth are extremely important teeth for chewing and replacing them is vital to maintain function and protect the adjacent and opposing teeth. Single dental implants are excellent at replacing missing molar teeth. The process is usually straight forward and can be described in 5 steps:

  1. Careful planning
  2. Place dental implant
  3. Allow healing of 10-12 weeks
  4. Take impressions
  5. Fit implant crown

Our case is a classic case involving a lower left missing molar tooth:
