Single Tooth Dental Implants Near You

Rediscover Your Smile with Dental Implants

At Smile Dentistry, we proudly offer dental implants as the leading solution for restoring missing teeth. Implants provide a conservative treatment approach, replacing missing teeth without affecting neighboring ones. Designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, implants offer several benefits, such as a natural appearance, improved comfort, restored chewing ability, and confidence in social settings. They also support bone preservation and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting into empty spaces. If you are missing a tooth or struggling with a denture or bridge, a dental implant may be your ideal solution. Our dentist will assess your needs and provide a customized post-implant care plan to promote long-term success.

Dental Implants: The Modern Solution

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are made from high-quality titanium and serve as a dependable replacement for bridges, dentures, or partials. The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial root. Once it integrates with the bone, a replacement tooth is attached, replicating the look and function of a natural tooth. Single implants are particularly effective for replacing one or a few adjacent teeth. Their versatility allows placement in various areas of the mouth. If you are considering implants, our team will help determine if they are the right solution for your case. 

Who is Eligible for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an excellent solution for many patients, but a proper evaluation is needed to determine suitability. The ideal candidate is in good general health, free of gum disease, and has adequate bone density to support the implant. Since the implant relies on bone for stability, bone loss can be a concern. However, modern techniques like bone grafting can help rebuild lost bone and provide a stable base for the implant. At Smile Dentistry, our experienced team will carefully evaluate your oral health and recommend the best treatment path to support your dental implant journey.

  • Assessment and Planning

    Before the actual procedure begins, it is essential to ensure that dental implants are the right solution for you.


    • Oral Examination: A comprehensive check of your oral cavity is conducted to assess the health of your gums and the status of any remaining teeth.
    • Diagnostic X-Rays: These are crucial for a detailed view of your jawbone, revealing its density and health, and the positioning of any remaining teeth.
    • Treatment Plan Discussion: Based on the findings, our dentist will craft a bespoke treatment plan. This discussion ensures you are well-informed about every step of the upcoming procedure.

  • Implant Insertion

    This foundational step is where the magic begins.


    • Local Anesthesia: To ensure a pain-free experience, the area is numbed using local anesthesia.
    • Implant Placement: A small incision is made in the gum to access the jawbone. A specialized drill creates a space for the implant, which is then securely placed.
    • Healing Process: Over the subsequent months, a natural process called osseointegration occurs. The implant fuses with the bone, creating a robust foundation for the replacement tooth. During this period, the gum tissue also undergoes healing.

  • Prosthetic Attachment

    Once the implant has integrated with the bone, the next phase is initiated.


    • Abutment Placement: This connector is fixed onto the implant, serving as the base for the replacement tooth.
    • Impressions: To ensure a perfect fit, an impression of your mouth is taken. This mold aids in crafting a replacement tooth that aligns seamlessly with your natural teeth.
    • Crown Attachment: The custom-made crown, designed to match your natural teeth, is then affixed to the abutment. Depending on your individual needs, this might necessitate several visits to perfect the fit.

  • Dental Bridges for Multiple Missing Teeth

    For those with multiple missing teeth, dental implants still offer a viable solution.


    • Fixed Bridge: Instead of individual crowns for each implant, a bridge is used to span the area of missing teeth. This bridge is anchored firmly to dental implants on either side of the gap.
    • Natural Appearance: The bridge is meticulously designed to blend with any remaining natural teeth, restoring both functionality and aesthetics.

Post-Procedure Care and Considerations

Dental implants, anchored in the jawbone, function and appear much like natural teeth. Regular cleaning, akin to natural teeth care, and periodic check-ups at our dental office ensure their longevity. Our dentist will guide you on the proper cleaning procedure for implants.


What You Should Know


  • Cost: Dental implants might have a higher initial cost compared to other tooth replacement options. However, they offer long-term value, often being a one-time cost.
  • Potential Complications: Though rare, complications can arise, such as bleeding, infection, or the implant not bonding to the bone. Our experienced team ensures the highest standards of care to minimize risks.
