What is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is the most effective way to replace a missing tooth without affecting the surrounding teeth. The procedure involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial root.

Once the implant fuses with the bone, a custom ceramic crown is attached, restoring the tooth’s appearance, strength, and function. Unlike bridges or partial dentures, a single implant stands alone, preserving the health of nearby teeth and preventing bone loss in the jaw.

How much does a dental implant or crown cost?

A single dental implant (including the crown) typically ranges from $4,000 to $5,000.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the implant procedure. We use advanced techniques and sedation options to enhance comfort. This approach helps ensure a smooth experience with reduced pain during recovery.
