Single Dental Implants

A single dental implant is a titanium post placed into your jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, it supports a natural-looking crown that fills the gap left by your missing tooth. It’s a strong, long-term solution that doesn’t affect the teeth around it.

If you’re in good health and have enough bone in your jaw, you’re likely a great candidate for a single dental implant. During your consultation, we’ll assess your mouth and talk through your options, especially if the missing tooth has been gone for a while.

It depends on the individual case. Some patients are eligible for immediate implant placement, while others may need healing time between steps. On average, the full process can take a few months, but the results last for years.

Yes! The crown attached to your implant is custom-made to match your natural teeth in colour and shape. Once it’s in, most people can’t tell which tooth is the implant.

Even just one missing tooth can cause your other teeth to shift, affecting your bite and even your facial structure. Over time, bone loss can also occur in the gap. Replacing it early helps maintain your overall oral health.
