Single Tooth Implants

Single tooth dental implants are an excellent way to replace a lost tooth and improve your smile.  Losing a tooth doesn't mean you have to have a bridge or something removable anymore.  Choosing an implant as your restorative option means you have a more permanent restoration than a bridge can provide.  Dental Implants take a little more time but are definitely worth the wait. 

What Are The Steps To Getting Dental Implants?

In the first stage, a tooth is extracted and the implant is either placed immediately, or after the extraction site has healed for a few months.  The implant stays buried in the bone for a couple of months and a temporary tooth is placed on the healing abutment or a flipper (removable partial) is used.  Once the implant has integrated into the bone and is stable, you see your dentist for an impression and a custom crown is made to fit over the implant.  In most cases, an all porcelain crown is used.  The results are natural, beautiful and long lasting. 

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

On average, a single tooth implant costs between $4,300 and $5,300.
