What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is an artificial tooth root—typically made of titanium or zirconia—surgically placed into the jawbone. A crown is then mounted on top. The implant replaces one missing tooth without altering adjacent healthy teeth, providing stability, natural appearance, and long-term function.

When Is a Single Tooth Implant Appropriate?

You’re a candidate for a single tooth implant when:

  • You have exactly one missing tooth and want a permanent solution
  • Adjacent teeth are healthy and you want to avoid grinding them for a traditional bridge
  • You have sufficient bone in that area (or are a candidate for bone grafting)
  • You prioritize function, esthetics, and long-term oral health

We will evaluate your bone volume, gum health, bite, and overall dental condition to confirm candidacy.

Our Implant System & Material Options

  • Titanium Implants: A time-proven option offering excellent osseointegration and long-term stability
  • Zirconia Implants: Metal-free alternative for patients sensitive to metals; offers good biocompatibility and esthetics
  • Implant Abutments & Crowns: We use custom abutments and high-quality ceramic or zirconia crowns matched to your smile

Single Tooth Implant Procedure (Step-by-Step)

  1. Consultation & 3D Imaging
    CBCT scans and diagnostic analysis to assess bone, nerve location, and implant planning.
  2. Treatment Planning
    Determine implant size, position, type (immediate vs delayed placement), and whether grafting is needed.
  3. Surgical Implant Placement
    Under local anesthesia (or sedation if requested), we place the implant fixture into the bone.
  4. Healing & Integration (Osseointegration)
    Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone to create a stable foundation.
  5. Abutment & Crown Attachment
    Once integration is complete, we connect an abutment and fit your permanent crown, ensuring optimal fit, color, and bite.
  6. Follow-Up & Maintenance
    Regular check-ups, hygiene visits, and guidance on care to ensure the implant’s longevity.

Implant vs Bridge: Which Is Better?

  • Implant: Does not affect adjacent teeth, preserves bone, provides independent support
  • Bridge: Faster, lower cost, but requires altering nearby teeth and can impact bone over time
