Single Implant Placement – Lateral Incisor

Implant Dentist Deer Park, Texas:

Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth.  The dental implants is the only tooth replacement option that mimics natural teeth. The new tooth restoration comes out of the bone, through the gum tissue and holds a beautiful porcelain crown. Furthermore, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that stimulates and preserves the gum and bone tissue.

Restore Your Smile with a Single Lateral Incisor Implant

Losing a lateral incisor—one of the small front teeth next to your central incisors—can significantly impact your appearance and confidence. Fortunately, Dr. Michael Nugent in Pasadena, TX offers a precise, natural-looking solution: a single dental implant to replace your lateral incisor.

What Is a Lateral Incisor Implant?

A lateral incisor implant involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone where the natural tooth root once was. Once the implant fuses to the bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-designed crown is placed on top. This crown is meticulously matched in size, shape, and color to the adjacent teeth for a flawless appearance.

Why Lateral Implants Require Extra Precision

Front teeth like the lateral incisors are highly visible, so the aesthetics matter greatly. Dr. Nugent uses advanced digital imaging and planning techniques to ensure proper placement, angulation, and gum line contour for the most natural results possible.

Benefits of a Single Lateral Implant

  • Does not require altering adjacent teeth (unlike a bridge)

  • Offers long-term durability and function
