A single dental implant is one of the most effective solutions for replacing a missing tooth. It involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial root, and topping it with a custom-made crown that matches your natural teeth. This option offers exceptional durability, a natural appearance, and the ability to preserve jawbone health. While the cost of a single implant and crown can be relatively high—[click here for pricing]—many patients find it a worthwhile investment for long-term function and aesthetics. Consulting with your periodontist will help determine if a dental implant is the right choice for your individual needs.

While dentures are a more budget-friendly option, they often come with drawbacks such as discomfort, frequent removal, and maintenance. In contrast, a single dental implant provides a permanent, stable solution that eliminates the inconvenience associated with removable appliances. By mimicking the natural tooth root and securely anchoring a crown, it offers improved comfort, functionality, and appearance. Though it may require a higher upfront cost—[click here for pricing]—a single implant is a long-term investment in your oral health and quality of life.

The Treatment Process

The treatment process for a single dental implant typically involves a consultation, implant placement surgery, a healing period for bone integration, and finally, placement of the custom crown. This step-by-step approach ensures a stable, natural-looking, and long-lasting tooth replacement.s

Step:1 Initial Consultation

Your dentist evaluates your oral health using X-rays or 3D scans to determine if you're a good candidate for an implant.

Step:2 Treatment Planning

A customized plan is created, considering jawbone condition, implant position, and overall dental goals.

Step:3 I Implant Placement Surgery

The dental implant (a titanium post) is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia.

Step:4 Healing and Osseointegration

Over the next 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.

Step:5 Abutment Placement

Once healed, a small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant to support the crown.

Step:6 Crown Placement

A custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, restoring full function and a natural look to your smile.

Who Are Good Candidates for Dental Implants?

If you need full-mouth reconstruction or a complete arch replacement, implant-supported dentures like All-on-4 may be the ideal solution. Schedule a consultation with a dentist experienced in implant-supported procedures to explore your options. If you currently wear removable dentures, you may have experienced some bone loss that requires treatment before the procedure. Your dentist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your jawbone health to determine if implant-supported dentures are the right choice for you.
