Why Choose a Single Tooth Implant
- Restores full chewing and biting ability
- Matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth
- Preserves jawbone health by stimulating bone growth
- Protects adjacent teeth from shifting
- Long-lasting — often a lifetime with proper care
Our Single Tooth Implant Process
- Consultation & Planning – We evaluate your oral health and take 3D images to plan precise implant placement.
- Implant Placement – A titanium post is placed in the jawbone to act as the tooth root.
- Healing & Integration – Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone for a strong foundation.
- Custom Crown Placement – A ceramic or porcelain crown is attached to restore full function and appearance.
When a Single Tooth Implant Is Recommended
This option is ideal if you:
- Have lost a tooth due to decay, trauma, or extraction
- Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density
- Want a fixed, low-maintenance solution
- Prefer to avoid altering nearby healthy teeth
Implant Care and Maintenance
A single dental implant can last decades with:
- Twice-daily brushing and daily flossing
- Regular Dental Exams & Cleanings
- Avoiding habits like chewing ice or using teeth as tools
Alternatives to a Single Tooth Implant
While a single implant is often the gold standard, alternatives include a dental bridge or a removable partial denture. Dr. Owen will review your options so you can make an informed choice.
