Replacing One Tooth with a Stable, Natural-Looking Solution
Dental implants offer a durable and long-term replacement for a single missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth.
Supporting Oral Health and Everyday Function
When a single tooth is lost—due to decay, injury, or gum disease—a dental implant can restore the space with a natural-looking, fixed solution. Unlike a dental bridge, an implant does not rely on the support of neighbouring teeth.
Benefits of a single implant include:
- Preserving bone structure in the area
- Avoiding wear or stress on nearby teeth
- Supporting chewing and speaking
- Providing long-term stability when well maintained
Surgical Placement of a Single Implant
Single implants are placed in stages, in coordination with your general dentist or prosthodontist:
- Initial assessment and imaging
- Surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone
- Healing period to allow bone integration (usually a few months)
- Attachment of an abutment and crown by your restorative provider
We’ll guide you through each stage of the process and ensure a clear handoff for the restorative phase.
