Single tooth implants are one of the best options to replace a missing tooth.
Unlike a tooth-supported bridge, which attaches to an adjacent tooth and can feel clunky, an implant looks, feels, and functions just like a real tooth. A dental implant also contributes to overall oral health by supporting the jawbone and retaining your bite.
A single implant restoration can replace a missing front tooth or molar and can be paired with other restorative and cosmetic treatments to help you achieve an amazing smile.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants mimic your natural teeth, replacing both the root and the crown to give you a highly stable, long-lasting solution.
A titanium screw is surgically placed into the jawbone; an abutment then acts as a “post” that your doctor can then place a crown.
Replacing a missing tooth with an artificial tooth is typically done across a few appointments; this ensures proper placement, healing, and outcomes.
Advantages of Single Tooth Implants
Single tooth implants are a cosmetic dental solution with transformative outcomes. For many, an implant can be a life-changing event as it restores smiles and confidence.
- Long-lasting – Implants can last a lifetime with proper care
- Natural-feeling – Implants function and feel just like a natural tooth
- Improved function – Implants allow you to eat and drink normally
- Better stability – Implants don’t shift or wiggle (like how dentures can)
- Preserve oral health – Implants preserve your jawbone and facial structure
Are Single Tooth Implants Right For Me?
We evaluate each candidate for single tooth implants. We do this to ensure safety, well-being, and that the implant will last.
A patient’s medical history, oral health and gum conditions, jawbone health, and lifestyle are all factors in whether an implant is the appropriate tooth replacement solution. These factors, along with imaging, will help our implant doctor make their final decision and outline a plan.
If you meet the criteria, we invite you to move forward with your smile restoration.
