At Stone Surgical Arts, single tooth dental implants offer a precise, long-term solution for replacing a missing tooth while preserving the health, strength, and appearance of your smile. Losing a tooth can affect far more than appearance — it can impact chewing function, jawbone health, speech, and surrounding teeth. Single tooth implants are designed to restore both function and aesthetics while closely mimicking the structure of a natural tooth.
Our surgical approach emphasizes accuracy, comfort, and long-term stability. By combining advanced imaging, meticulous planning, and expert surgical care, we provide predictable outcomes that support lasting oral health.
A single tooth implant is a complete tooth replacement solution that restores both the root and crown of a missing tooth. Unlike bridges, which rely on neighboring teeth for support, a dental implant is placed directly into the jawbone, creating a stable foundation that functions like a natural tooth root.
A single tooth implant consists of three components:
Once integrated with the jawbone, the implant supports a crown that restores appearance, strength, and function without compromising adjacent teeth.
Single tooth implants are widely considered the gold standard for replacing an individual missing tooth. They provide benefits that other tooth replacement options cannot offer.
Key advantages include:
By replacing the tooth root, implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent the bone deterioration that commonly occurs after tooth loss.
Traditional dental bridges require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth to support the restoration. Removable partial dentures may shift, feel uncomfortable, and fail to prevent bone loss.
Single tooth implants stand alone and do not compromise surrounding teeth. They provide a permanent solution that closely replicates natural tooth function while supporting long-term oral health.
While each patient’s treatment plan is unique, the implant process generally follows a structured approach to ensure precision and success.
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital imaging and 3D scans. This allows our surgical team to assess bone quality, anatomy, and optimal implant positioning.
The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone using precise techniques designed to promote stability and healing. Local anesthesia and comfort measures are used to ensure a smooth experience.
Over the following months, the implant integrates with the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration. This creates a strong and secure foundation for the final restoration.
Once healing is complete, a custom crown is attached to the implant, restoring the appearance and function of the missing tooth.
Throughout the process, our team provides guidance and support to ensure clarity and confidence at every stage.
In some cases, bone loss may have occurred after tooth loss. If insufficient bone is present to support an implant, bone grafting may be recommended to rebuild the jaw structure. This procedure enhances implant stability and allows many patients to become candidates for single tooth implants.
A detailed evaluation will determine whether bone grafting is necessary.
Single tooth implants may be an excellent option if you:
Most adults are candidates for implant treatment. Even patients who were previously told they were not eligible may benefit from modern surgical techniques.
At Stone Surgical Arts, implant placement is performed with a focus on accuracy and long-term success. Advanced imaging and surgical planning allow us to place implants in ideal positions for function, stability, and aesthetics.
Our surgical expertise ensures careful attention to anatomical structures, reducing risk and improving outcomes.
Caring for a dental implant is similar to caring for natural teeth. Daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits are essential for maintaining healthy gums and long-term implant success.
With proper care, single tooth implants can last for many years and provide a reliable, functional solution.
A missing tooth does not have to compromise your comfort, confidence, or oral health. Single tooth implants offer a durable and natural-looking solution that restores both form and function.
At Stone Surgical Arts, our surgical team is dedicated to delivering precise, patient-centered care with results designed to last.
If you are missing a tooth and want to explore a long-term replacement option, single tooth implants may be the right solution for you. Our team at Stone Surgical Arts is committed to guiding you through every step with clarity and care.
