Single Tooth Implants and Implant Bridges are one of the most reliable and natural-looking ways to replace missing or severely damaged teeth. Unlike removable options or traditional bridges that rely on neighboring teeth, dental implants replace the tooth at the root level, providing a secure, long-lasting solution that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. This allows patients to chew comfortably, smile confidently, and protect their long-term oral health.

How It Works
A dental implant is a titanium screw that serves as the foundation to replace a tooth or teeth. There are 3 parts to a dental implant:
- Implant post: This is the foundation. It is placed in the jaw and acts as an anchor.
- Abutment: This piece connects the implant post and crown.
- Crown: This is the visible portion in the mouth. This could also be an implant bridge across multiple implants.
Single Tooth Implants & Bridges Cost

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends. Since every case is unique, we will need to see you for a consultation to figure out the best course of treatment for you.
At this time, we do not place temporary crowns or bridges on newly placed implants. The reason is that we want to apply as little force as possible to the implants while we wait for them to integrate with your jawbone.
Most people are candidates for dental implants, even those who have been told they were not in the past. Call us to schedule your consultation and let us see what we can do to get you smiling again.
Care for them like natural teeth. Brush and floss twice a day, and get cleanings at the intervals recommended by your dentist.
In the mouth, they look almost exactly like a natural tooth. The implant body, the screw, will not be visible in the mouth. It is under the gums in your bone.
Yes. It will feel different from a natural tooth, but it will function the same.
Most patients are able to return to work either the same day or the next day. Certain cases could require more time off from work.
The process is very straightforward. Your implant is placed into your jawbone and is left alone to integrate for four to six months. After this, we take impressions and have your tooth fabricated. If bone grafting is needed, this can increase treatment time.
No. Once your implant is completed, you will not be able to remove it.
We do not currently put patients to sleep; however, we do offer oral conscious sedation. This medication will help to relax you and often makes it so you do not even remember your procedure. For this, we write you a prescription, and you can pick it up at your pharmacy of choice.
Note: You must have a driver for this procedure, someone who can drive you after you have taken your oral sedation pill or pills. You must not operate a motor vehicle or any machinery after taking your medication.
You may continue to bleed slightly for the first 24 hours after your implant placement. If you feel that you are bleeding more than you should be, please call the clinic.
An old home remedy that still works really well to help clotting and stop bleeding is the use of tea bags. Just get a regular tea bag, dampen it, ring out the excess water, place it on your extraction site or sites, and the tannic acid in the tea leaves will help you clot. Multiple tea bags can be used if needed. Replace the tea bags as they get saturated with blood. This process can be repeated as many times as you need.
While experiences will vary, there could be some discomfort and possibly swelling after your procedure. Many patients report very little discomfort after their procedure. You will be prescribed pain medication to help alleviate any discomfort.
We do not currently offer this type of implant. While titanium implants have been around for decades with a long track record of success, zirconia implants are very new to the market, so we do not know what their long-term success will be. We want the most successful, most predictable, and best long-term results for our patients, and for these reasons, we do not offer zirconia implants at this time.
While titanium dental implants do have a 95%+ success rate, yes, they can still fail. Some of the things that can cause them to fail include failure to integrate into the bone, smoking, and diabetes. If an implant fails within the first year, your dentist will replace it at no charge to you.
