What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single tooth implant is a permanent solution for replacing a missing tooth, offering both the functionality and appearance of a natural tooth. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, a dental implant replaces the entire tooth structure, including the root, by anchoring a titanium post directly into the jawbone. This allows the implant to provide a secure, long-lasting foundation for a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

We specialize in single tooth implants, using advanced techniques and technology to restore your smile with a durable, natural-looking replacement.

Why Choose a Single Tooth Implant?

• Preserve Natural Teeth: Unlike dental bridges, which require adjacent teeth to be filed down for support, a single tooth implant stands independently, leaving surrounding teeth untouched.

• Bone Preservation: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. This helps maintain the natural shape of your face and jawline.

• Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, single tooth implants can last a lifetime, making them a reliable and durable solution for missing teeth.

• Natural Look and Feel: Custom-made crowns are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural appearance.

• Improved Functionality: A single tooth implant allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, just as you would with a natural tooth.

How Does a Single Tooth Implant Work?
The single tooth implant process involves several steps to ensure a successful and lasting result:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin by evaluating your oral health, including 3D imaging to assess the condition of your jawbone. This helps us determine if you're a candidate for a dental implant.

2. Implant Placement: During the procedure, a titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as the artificial tooth root. This implant will fuse with the bone over several months, providing a stable foundation for the crown.

3. Healing Period: As the implant integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a temporary tooth may be placed to maintain your smile during healing.

4. Crown Placement: Once the implant has fully healed, a custom-made crown is securely attached to the implant. The crown is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth in color and shape, restoring the appearance and function of your smile.

Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant

• Permanent and Reliable: A single tooth implant offers a permanent solution that functions and feels just like a natural tooth.

• Comfortable Fit: Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place, so they won’t shift or move. They provide a stable, comfortable solution for everyday activities like eating and speaking.

• Protect Surrounding Teeth: Since implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, they help preserve the health of your surrounding teeth and maintain your overall oral health.

• Boost Confidence: Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or other reasons, a single tooth implant restores your smile’s appearance and gives you the confidence to smile freely.

Are You a Candidate for a Single Tooth Implant?
You may be a good candidate for a single tooth implant if you:

• Have a missing tooth and want a permanent solution

• Have healthy gums and adequate bone density to support the implant

• Are in good overall health and committed to maintaining good oral hygiene

• Want to avoid the risks associated with dental bridges or removable dentures

During your consultation we will assess your oral health and develop a personalized treatment plan to ensure the best results for your dental implant.
