What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant replaces a missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth. It consists of:

• A titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as the root
• A custom abutment that connects the post to the crown
• A natural-looking crown that blends with your existing teeth

The result is a permanent, stable, and highly aesthetic restoration.

Why Choose a Dental Implant Over a Bridge?

• Doesn’t require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth
• Preserves jawbone and prevents bone loss
• More durable and longer-lasting
• Feels and functions like a real tooth
• Easier to clean and maintain

Who Is a Candidate for a Single Tooth Implant?

You may be eligible if:

• You’re missing one tooth
• Your jawbone is healthy and fully developed
• You’re free from active gum disease
• You’re a non-smoker or willing to quit during healing

What to Expect

1. Consultation & Imaging – We assess your bone structure and oral health.
2. Implant Placement – The titanium post is placed into your jaw.
3. Healing Period – The implant integrates with the bone (3–6 months).
4. Final Restoration – A crown is attached to complete your smile.
