Single Tooth Implant: The Gold Standard for a Complete Smile
Losing a single tooth can feel surprisingly overwhelming. Whether it was a front tooth affecting your smile or a back molar affecting your ability to chew, the gap is noticeable and uncomfortable. You might be wondering if you should get a bridge or an implant.
At Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we recommend the Single Dental Implant as the premier solution for replacing one missing tooth.
An implant is the only option that mimics nature. It replaces the missing root with a titanium post, stimulating your jawbone to keep it healthy. It stands independently, meaning we don't have to touch or damage your healthy neighboring teeth to support it.
Why Choose Gardens for Your Single Implant?
Replacing a single tooth requires precision to ensure it blends perfectly with your natural smile. Here is why patients in Palm Beach Gardens trust Dr. Hans Almanzar:
Surgical Precision: Dr. Almanzar is a Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (MICOI). He uses 3D guidance to place the implant in the exact position needed for long-term stability and aesthetics.
Preserving Healthy Teeth: A traditional bridge requires grinding down the teeth on either side of the gap. An implant saves your healthy enamel. It is a one-tooth solution for a one-tooth problem.
Seamless Aesthetics: We work with master ceramists to craft a custom crown that matches the shade, shape, and translucency of your adjacent teeth. It will be virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.
PROCEDURE
The Single Implant Steps
We have streamlined the process to be as comfortable and efficient as possible.
3D Scan & Plan: We take a CBCT scan to check your bone levels and plan the surgery digitally.
Implant Placement: Dr. Almanzar gently places the titanium implant into the space where your root used to be. This takes about an hour and is often done under local anesthesia.
Healing: We allow 3-4 months for the implant to fuse with your bone (osseointegration). Note: For front teeth, we often place a temporary cosmetic tooth so you never have a visible gap.
Final Crown: Once healed, we take a digital impression and fabricate your custom porcelain crown. We bond it to the implant, and your smile is complete.
TESTIMONIAL
Patient Success Story: The Front Tooth Fix
Actual Patient Scenario
The Challenge: "Sarah," a 29-year-old teacher, knocked out her front tooth in a cycling accident. She was wearing a removable "flipper" and hated it; it felt loose when she spoke. She was terrified that an implant would look "fake" next to her other front tooth.
The Solution: Dr. Almanzar placed a single implant and used a custom healing cuff to shape her gum tissue perfectly. He worked with our lab to layer the porcelain of her final crown to match the slight transparency of her natural teeth.
The Result: The result was flawless. Even Sarah had to look closely in the mirror to tell which one was the implant. She told us, "I got my confidence back. I don't even think about it anymore; it's just my tooth."
