Home > Blog > Replace a Tooth With Dental Implant Treatment
If you’re missing a single tooth, the most natural, long-lasting way to restore your smile is with dental implant treatment. At Above the Gate Dentistry, we’re committed to providing solutions that look, feel, and function just like your own teeth.
In the short video included with this post, Dr. Davidson explains why a single dental implant is often the best option for replacing one missing tooth. Instead of relying on a dental bridge that alters neighboring teeth – or a removable partial denture that can shift or feel bulky – an implant stands independently. It restores your tooth without affecting the healthy ones around it.
He also shares a personal note: he has two dental implants himself, so he knows firsthand how comfortable, secure, and confidence-boosting they can be.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer several advantages, including:
Stability and strength similar to natural teeth
Preserved jawbone health, preventing bone loss
No impact on surrounding teeth
Long-lasting durability with proper care
Natural appearance that blends seamlessly into your smile
While the video highlights how well implant crowns work for single-tooth replacement, we offer a full range of advanced implant solutions:
Implant bridges
Implant dentures
All-on-X full-arch implant restorations

Super friendly staff. I have had a few appointments over the last few months. Each time the whole team goes above and beyond to make me feel comfortable throughout my time there. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and practical in their approach. I can’t say enough great things.
I have been so impressed with the professionalism and care I have received at Above the Gate Dentristy. The staff is kind and thoughtful and always makes you feel comfortable and at home. Dr. Tuttle has been my dentist for years and I can honestly say I have never received the quality of care I do from him. His knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail are in a class of their own. I trust him and appreciate him always making my dental care a top priority.
I have been with this practice since it first opened. They have gone far and beyond to make sure I have a healthy path for my 20s to my 60s. if you live in El Dorado County, they have two locations. I travel from Sacramento area moving away. They even gave me the finer touches of the less overbite with Invisalign . I have included pictures of before Invisalign, and after Invisalign (Early 50s middle 60s). A focus on gum care with excellent hygienists!
I’m so pleased to find a Dentist office that reached my expectations. They did everything right starting from Front office and checking my insurance to back office Dr was great and very informative. Crystal my RDH was the bomb and incredibly thuro . I definitely recommend this office.Take it from me I’m a Dental Assistant my self!
This is probably the best dentist I’ve been to in the past 15 years. The facility is nice and clean, and very comfortable; staff are friendly; to me the most important thing is how considerate the hygienists are. I have a couple of very sensitive spots and they always opt to manually clean them instead of using the water spray thing. They are also flexible and try to fit you in to the time that works for you as much as they can. Highly recommend.
The group’s expertise and service is bar none, the best I have ever experienced from a dental practice. Kudos to everyone and a special shout out to Hygenist, Rebecca!
Above the Gate Dentistry is the best dental office I have ever been to. The staff team is friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. From the front office to Doctor Bryan Tuttle is always the most pleasant experience. Doctor Tuttle is an expert and one of the best professionals in the industry because of his high-quality work, precision, and the latest technology combined with vast experience and knowledge. You will do yourself a huge favor if you choose Above the Gate Dentistry for your dental needs. Highly recommend it. You will be satisfied.
My dentist had retired and I hadn’t been in a few years! Everyone was kind, thorough and very reassuring! Shannon, my hygienist, did an excellent job without pain, even though it had been so long!
I’m so thankful I found Above the Gate. They were so kind and patient with me and took care of my needs fast and affordablely. I’d recommend them to anyone
