SINGLE TOOTH IMPLANTS

If you’re missing a tooth, a single dental implant offers a permanent and natural-looking solution. At South Walker Dental, we use advanced implant technology to replace missing teeth with results that look, feel, and function like your own. Whether caused by injury, decay, or other dental concerns, a single tooth implant can restore your smile and protect your long-term oral health.

A single tooth implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root for a replacement tooth. Once healed, a custom-made dental crown is attached to the implant, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Unlike bridges or removable dentures, implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. They provide unmatched stability, durability, and aesthetics, making them one of the best solutions for tooth replacement.

Getting a single tooth implant typically involves several steps:

Consultation & Planning

We take digital images and impressions to evaluate your oral health and design a personalized treatment plan.

Implant Placement

A small titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as the tooth root.

Healing & Integration

Over the next few months, the implant naturally bonds with your bone, creating a strong foundation.

Abutment Placement

A connector (abutment) is attached to support the replacement crown.

Final Crown Placement

A custom dental crown is secured on top of the implant, restoring natural function and appearance.

Replacing a missing tooth is about more than just aesthetics, it’s essential for your overall oral health. Dental implants provide:

Bone Preservation

Prevents jawbone shrinkage that occurs with missing teeth

Natural Look & Feel

Matches the appearance and function of real teeth

Improved Oral Health

No need to alter or stress adjacent teeth, unlike bridges

Restored Confidence

Helps you smile, speak, and eat comfortably again

With proper care, single tooth implants can last decades, often a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits help maintain the health of the implant and surrounding gums. Unlike traditional restorations, implants are designed for long-term durability.
