What A Single-Tooth Implant Does

Dental implants are a reliable way to replace a missing tooth from root to crown. A single-tooth implant is designed to replace one tooth without involving the teeth next to it.

We place a small titanium post that acts like a new root, then give it time to bond with your jaw so it feels stable and natural.

Once you’re healed, we attach a custom crown that matches your smile, so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence again.

What are Single Tooth Implants?

Dental implants are a great way to completely replace a missing tooth. Single implants replace just one missing tooth at a time. The implant is typically made out of titanium, which is inserted deep into the jaw bone. Over time, the implant will actually fuse with the bone and become an integral part of your smile. After healing, a crown can be made to attach to the top of the implant.

Why Choose A Single-Tooth Implant?

Missing a tooth can make you think twice about smiling and limit what you feel comfortable eating. Over time, nearby teeth can drift into the open space and create new bite issues.

A single-tooth dental implant replaces what’s missing without grinding down healthy neighboring teeth, and it stays secure instead of coming in and out like a partial.

The result is a natural-looking fit that lets you chew, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Is A Single-Tooth Implant Right For You?

Most patients who want a single-tooth implant can move forward without a complicated process.

It usually takes a few visits so we can place the implant, monitor healing, and make sure everything is progressing the way it should.

Dr. Sista will examine your smile and your jawbone to confirm you’re a good fit. If there’s not enough bone to support an implant, we’ll talk through whether a bone graft could help you get there.

How A Single-Tooth Implant Is Placed

First, we place the implant, which acts like a new root for your missing tooth. After that, you’ll have time to heal while the implant bonds with your jawbone and becomes stable.

Once you’re ready, we attach a small connector piece that helps hold the final tooth in place. Then we create and place a custom crown that matches your natural teeth, so your smile looks and feels complete again.
