Single-tooth implant with porcelain crown
⇄ Drag to compare
Before
The patient needed a single-tooth replacement for one upper central incisor — a visible front tooth that affected both confidence and chewing function.
After
Smile and function restored with a single dental implant and an all-porcelain crown that fits securely over the implant. A natural-looking, permanent solution.
ii. — When implants make sense
Signs an implant may be right for you
Implants are the right call for more situations than most patients realize. Any of these sound familiar?
- A single missing or failing tooth
- Multiple adjacent teeth needing replacement
- An ill-fitting denture that slips or sores
- A failing bridge that needs replacement
- Bone loss from a long-missing tooth
- Full-arch rebuild needs
What makes implants worth it
Looks like your own tooth
Porcelain crowns over implants are shaded and shaped to match — no metal showing, no obvious dental work.
Preserves your jawbone
Unlike bridges or dentures, an implant stimulates the jawbone where the tooth used to be — preventing the bone loss that follows missing teeth.
Can last a lifetime
With proper care, dental implants are the longest-lasting tooth replacement available — often outlasting the alternative options many times over.
Curious about implants for your specific case?
Book a complimentary implant consultation. Dr. Martenson or Dr. Ma will evaluate the site, walk through realistic timelines and alternatives, and put together a plan tailored to you.
