Why Choose a Single-Tooth Dental Implant?

The Ideal Replacement

Discover the benefits of replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant over other restoration options.

  • Natural Look and Feel

    Single-tooth implants are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, providing a restoration that's virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth.

  • Preserves Jawbone Health

    Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that occurs when a tooth is missing. This helps maintain your facial structure and oral health.

  • Protects Adjacent Teeth

    Unlike bridges, implants don't require altering neighboring teeth, preserving their natural strength and integrity.

Request an Appointment

Comprehensive Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation. We assess your oral health, take digital images, and discuss your medical history. This helps us determine if a single-tooth implant is the best option for you.

Customized Treatment Plan

Based on the assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan. We’ll explain the timeline, costs, and what you can expect at each stage, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable moving forward.

Implant Placement

Under local anesthesia, a titanium implant is surgically placed into your jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. The procedure is minimally invasive, and we offer sedation options for added comfort.

Healing and Osseointegration

Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone in a natural process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for the replacement tooth.

Abutment and Crown Placement

Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. A custom-made crown is then secured onto the abutment, completing the restoration. The crown is crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Post-Procedure Care

We provide guidance on caring for your new implant and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress. With proper care, your implant can last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions About Single-Tooth Implants

We're here to address any concerns and help you make an informed decision.

Contact us

Am I a candidate for a single-tooth implant?

Response

Most adults with a missing tooth and healthy gums are good candidates. Adequate jawbone density is important for supporting the implant. We’ll conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if this option is suitable for you.

How long does the implant process take?

Response

The entire process typically takes several months. This includes the initial consultation, implant placement, healing time for osseointegration, and placement of the final crown. We provide a detailed timeline during your treatment planning.

Will the procedure be painful?

Response

The implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort after the procedure is normal but can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication. Most patients find the experience to be less uncomfortable than expected.

How do I care for my dental implant?

Response

Caring for an implant is similar to caring for a natural tooth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential. Good oral hygiene will help ensure the longevity of your implant.
