Single-Tooth Implants in Phoenix, AZ

A single-tooth implant is a permanent solution that replaces one missing tooth using a small titanium post anchored in the jawbone and topped with a custom dental crown. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root, preserving bone health and preventing the shifting of nearby teeth.

Unlike removable bridges or dentures, a single-tooth implant is fixed, durable, and designed to blend seamlessly with your smile. It restores full chewing function and maintains the natural contours of your jawline, ensuring both beauty and long-term stability.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for a Single-Tooth Implant?

Most healthy adults who are missing one tooth can be candidates for tooth implants. Ideal candidates typically have:

• Healthy gums and adequate bone density
• Good oral hygiene habits
• No uncontrolled medical conditions
• A commitment to maintaining routine dental care

Smokers or patients with certain health concerns can still be considered, but additional planning may be needed. During your consultation, The Smile Studio uses 3D imaging technology to evaluate bone structure and ensure your treatment plan is safe, precise, and customized to your needs.

What Are the Benefits of Single-Tooth Dental Implants?

Replacing a missing tooth with a single-tooth implant offers many long-term benefits, including:

• A natural-looking replacement that blends with your existing teeth
• Prevention of jawbone loss and shifting of neighboring teeth
• Improved chewing ability and clear speech
• Long-term strength and stability with proper care
• Renewed self-confidence without removable parts or adhesives

What Are the Steps Involved in Getting a Dental Implant?

Getting a dental implant is a multi-step process, and our team supports you at every stage.

Step 1 – Consultation & Evaluation

We begin with a detailed exam and imaging to evaluate your jawbone, bite, and gum health, ensuring you are a good candidate.

Step 2 – 3D Treatment Planning

Using advanced 3D digital technology, we plan precise implant placement for optimal stability and esthetics.

Step 3 – Surgical Implant Placement

The implant post is gently placed into the bone in a comfortable, efficient procedure with sedation and relaxation options available.

Step 4 – Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation.

Step 5 – Custom Crown Placement

Once healed, a custom-crafted crown is attached to complete your smile. The restoration is color-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Throughout your treatment, you’ll enjoy the comfort amenities that define The Smile Studio experience, including neck pillows, nitrous oxide, and streaming entertainment during visits.

How Long Will My Single-Tooth Implant Last?

With proper care, a single-tooth implant can last 15 to 25 years or longer. Durability depends on regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings.

At The Smile Studio, we use high-quality materials and advanced implant systems to ensure long-term success. Routine checkups allow our team to monitor your implant’s condition and provide preventive care to protect your investment.

How Do I Care for a Single-Tooth Implant After Surgery?
