What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single-tooth implant replaces a missing tooth with a titanium post. We place the post into your jawbone. The post acts as a natural tooth root and bonds with the bone over time. It supports a custom crown that matches your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. The crown looks like a real tooth and helps you chew comfortably. This implant improves your smile and supports your jawbone to prevent bone loss. It does not affect the surrounding teeth. At Dental Made Easy, we place each implant with care so you enjoy a natural look and better oral function. Enjoy the benefits of a renewed and confident smile.What Does a Single Tooth Implant Consist Of?
A single tooth implant has three parts. The first part is a titanium post. It replaces the tooth’s root and fuses with your jawbone. The second part is an abutment. It connects the titanium post to the final restoration. The third part is a custom crown. It matches your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. Together, these parts restore your smile and help you chew.
The implant acts as an artificial tooth root that anchors securely into your jawbone. This direct connection helps preserve your natural bone structure. As a result, the risk of bone erosion or recession is greatly reduced. Dental implants can even slow or completely prevent tooth deterioration, protecting your smile for years to come.

Our Implant Process
At Dental Made Easy, we follow a clear and simple process:
- Consultation and Imaging:
We take x-rays and images of your mouth. We use these tools to plan your treatment and set clear goals. - Treatment Preparation:
We check if you need extra support. You may need:- Bone Grafting: If your jaw needs more bone.
- Gum Grafting: If your gums need support.
- Sinus Lift: If extra bone is needed in your upper jaw.
- Implant Placement:
We place the titanium implant into your jawbone. The implant bonds with the bone over about six months, forming a strong base. - Final Restoration:
Once your bone heals, we place a custom crown on the implant. The crown matches your natural tooth and completes your smile.
Single-Tooth Implant Testimonials
How to Care for Your Single Tooth Implant?
You care for your implant as you care for your natural teeth. Brush the crown and abutment daily with a soft-bristle brush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss around the implant to remove debris. Visit your top-rated implant dentistry dentists for professional cleanings and checkups at least twice a year. Use additional cleaning tools if your dentist recommends them. The titanium post is durable and does not decay. Proper care keeps your implant healthy and your smile confident over time.
Comfort and Support
We provide a temporary appliance while your implant heals. This appliance keeps your smile complete and boosts your confidence. Most patients feel little discomfort and use over-the-counter pain medicine if needed.
What People Are Saying About Dental Made Easy
FAQs About Single Tooth Implant
How Painful Is a Single Tooth Implant Procedure?
The procedure itself isn’t painful since it’s done under local anesthesia, so you stay awake but don’t feel anything during surgery. Afterward, most patients report mild to moderate discomfort.
Pain is usually around 3/10 on the first day and may rise slightly to 5/10 over the next couple of days. Swelling, soreness, and minor bleeding are normal but manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs. Most people feel better within a few days and can return to normal eating within 7–10 days.
Those with gum issues may feel more discomfort, but overall, a single implant causes less pain than more extensive dental work.
What Are the Alternatives to a Single Tooth Implant?
There are two alternatives: a dental flipper and a three-tooth bridge.
A dental flipper is a short-term option. It is unstable, less comfortable, and offers low biting strength. It works well as a temporary fix while you plan a permanent solution.
A three-tooth bridge crowns the two teeth next to the missing tooth. The dentist must remove part of these healthy teeth to fit the crowns. This option may weaken healthy teeth and the crowns can leak over time. A three-tooth bridge usually costs more than a single implant crown.
How Do Single Tooth Implants Compare to Dental Bridges?
Single tooth implants support your jawbone, while dental bridges do not. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone can weaken without support. Dental bridges rest on adjacent teeth and lack support for the bone and gums. The cement on a bridge can break down, allowing bacteria to reach your teeth. In contrast, single tooth implants bond with your jawbone, preserving bone strength and offering a stable, lasting solution that helps you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
How Long Does It Take to Recover After a Single Implant?
Healing for a single dental implant rarely takes less than four months. The process may potentially last over six months. If tooth degeneration has reached the jawbone, healing may take even longer. In these cases, the implant needs extra care and additional healing time. Following your dentist’s care instructions closely can help you achieve the best outcome and a confident smile.

What Is the Typical Cost of a Single Tooth Implant?
Single tooth implant typically costs between $3,500 and $6,000. This price includes the implant post, the connector (abutment), and the crown. The exact cost can vary based on your dentist’s experience, location of the dental office, and crown materials.
Sometimes additional procedures like bone grafts or sinus lifts are necessary, which can increase the total cost. Your dental insurance might cover part of this expense, depending on your plan.
