MYTH: Every Missing Tooth Needs a Dental Implant
FACT: A Dental Implant is one tooth-replacement option, but it isn’t automatically the right choice for everyone.
When a tooth is missing, several factors need to be considered:
• Condition of the neighbouring teeth
• Gum health
• Available bone
• Your bite
• Number and position of missing teeth
• Your overall treatment goals
Depending on the situation, options can include a Single Tooth Implant, bridge, removable replacement or other approaches.
If an implant is being considered, the bone and surrounding structures need to be evaluated. A CBCT scan may be recommended when three-dimensional imaging is required for planning.
At Chennai Dental Mission, Anna Nagar, we discuss the options after examining your individual dental condition rather than recommending an implant simply because a tooth is missing.
