Individual Implants: Dental Implants for Missing Teeth and a Broader Smile

Description

This Staten Island dental implant case shows how replacing missing or failing tooth areas can change both the smile and the way the lips are supported. The before photo shows a smile affected by missing tooth support and uneven tooth display. The after photo shows a broader, brighter smile with more complete tooth support. This is useful for patients who are comparing single implants, implant bridges, and larger implant treatment plans. Not every implant case needs to be described as full-mouth reconstruction; sometimes the best plan is targeted treatment where the patient needs support most. Dr. Jason Hecht plans implant dentistry around function, appearance, and long-term stability. Individual results vary.
