Individual Implants: Dental Implant Treatment for Missing Teeth and Smile Support

Description

This dental implant case belongs with individual implant and implant-supported restoration examples because it shows missing tooth support without needing to label the case as a full-mouth implant reconstruction. The before photo shows missing and compromised areas that affected the smile. The after photo shows improved tooth display and a more complete-looking result. For many Staten Island patients, the right answer is not automatically a full arch. Some patients need individual implants, implant bridges, or a targeted implant plan to restore the areas that are missing or failing. Dr. Jason Hecht evaluates each case by location, bite support, bone, and esthetic goals. Individual results vary.
