Replace one missing tooth with a fixed, natural-feeling tooth — without grinding down the healthy teeth next to it.
Replace one missing tooth with a fixed, natural-feeling tooth — without grinding down the healthy teeth next to it.
A single dental implant replaces both the root and the crown of one missing tooth. A small titanium post is placed in the jaw where the root used to be, and a custom crown is attached on top. Because the implant stands on its own, the healthy teeth on either side do not have to be ground down the way they are for a traditional bridge. Implants also help preserve the jawbone under the missing tooth, which can shrink over time after a tooth is lost.
Consultation and 3D imaging — we review your records, examine the area, and take 3D images.
Written plan and exact fee — you receive the full treatment plan and the exact fee in writing before any treatment begins.
Implant placement — the titanium post is placed in the jaw, then given time to integrate with the bone.
Your custom crown — once healing is complete, your final crown is made and attached.
A fixed bridge fills the gap by anchoring to the teeth on either side — those healthy teeth must be shaped to hold it. A removable partial denture clips in and comes out for cleaning, and it can feel less stable when you eat and speak.
A single implant is fixed, stands on its own, and is cleaned like a natural tooth. We will show you the honest pros and cons of each option for your specific tooth at your consultation.
There is no honest one-size price for a single implant. Your fee depends on the tooth’s position, the condition of the bone, whether grafting is needed, and the final crown.
At your free consultation you will receive the exact fee for your tooth in writing — no surprises later. Financing may be available through Proceed, Cherry, or Lending Club. Approval, rates, terms, and monthly payments depend on the lender and your application.
Will my insurance cover a single implant?
Coverage varies widely by plan. Our team verifies your benefits and tells you what your plan is likely to cover before treatment begins.
How long does the whole process take?
It takes several visits spread over some months, because the implant needs time to integrate with the bone before the final crown is attached. Your written plan will lay out your expected timeline.
I lost the tooth years ago. Can I still get an implant?
Often, yes. Bone can shrink where a tooth has been missing, and grafting can rebuild it in many cases. The 3D imaging at your consultation shows exactly what you have to work with.
My tooth is broken and cannot be saved. What happens?
In many cases a tooth that cannot be saved can be removed and replaced with an implant. We will evaluate the tooth first and give you the options in writing.
