Why Single-Tooth Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard
A single-tooth dental implant provides the most comprehensive solution for replacing one missing tooth. By restoring both the root and the crown, you'll enjoy a lifelike option, similar to a natural tooth.
The titanium implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone. Through osseointegration, this post fuses permanently with your bone over several months. It creates a stable foundation for the restoration.
Once integration is complete, a custom abutment and crown are attached, completing your tooth replacement. The advantages of implants over traditional alternatives are substantial.
Unlike a traditional bridge, your dentist won't have to alter any teeth to support the restoration. A single-tooth implant stands on its own, eliminating this compromise. Your healthy adjacent teeth remain untouched.
Plus, the implant helps stop the bone loss in your jaw that can occur if a tooth is replaced with a standard bridge.
Restore Your Smile With Confidence
Dr. Chasolen's extensive experience allows him to plan your implant restoration with exceptional precision. A diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology and a fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, he has restored more than 17,000 dental implants. He'll design your crown to create results that look beautiful and function perfectly.
Throughout your treatment, you'll receive clear communication about what to expect at each stage. For implants in visible areas, temporary crowns may be provided during the healing period to maintain your appearance and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Single-Tooth Dental Implants
What is a single-tooth dental implant?
How is a single-tooth implant different from a dental bridge?
A traditional dental bridge requires reshaping the teeth on either side of the missing tooth to support the restoration. A single-tooth implant stands on its own and does not affect surrounding teeth. Because the implant replaces the tooth root, it also helps prevent bone loss in the area. Implants typically offer greater longevity, stability, and preservation of oral health compared to bridges.
How long does it take to complete a single-tooth implant?
The timeline varies depending on healing and individual factors, but most single-tooth implant treatments are completed over several months. After implant placement, time is needed for the implant to integrate with the jawbone. Once healing is complete, a custom crown is designed and placed. Advanced digital planning helps streamline the process and ensure predictable results.
