Many new patients come in with tooth fracture, a failed root canal or even a failed previous dental implant. Yes, not all implants are done right. Some tooth fractures are so small that you may feel some discomfort but not a full blown emergency. When left untreated, the tooth will eventually fail and eventually an onset of pain and infection. Some failed root canal won’t show until many months later. Only option left is the tooth extraction. When that happens implants are the most natural replacement for that missing tooth. There are other options for replacing a missing tooth, but most involve including the adjacent teeth (like a bridge).
Here at Financial District Dental Care, we like to think of implants as a “one-tooth solution for a one-tooth problem”. The implant procedure varies depending on the tooth being replaced, the condition the failing tooth was in prior to loss, and the quality of the bone in which the tooth is being replaced. The implant itself is like an artificial (titanium) tooth root placed by the oral surgeon. After the implant has ‘fused’ to the bone, we then place a custom titanium abutment and a porcelain crown to complete the process.

The restorations are usually so natural that patients frequently later forget where the implant was placed!
