Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Single-Tooth Implant?
A single tooth dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a replacement for the root of your missing tooth. Once the implant fuses with the surrounding bone, a custom-made crown is attached on top. The result is a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration that stands independently of your other teeth. Our highly skilled dentist handles every stage, from the initial planning through the final crown placement. Studies have shown a success rate of over 95% for the implant restoration process.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Single-Tooth Implant
Preserved Structure
Unlike a dental bridge, an implant does not require altering the adjacent teeth, which preserves the healthy natural tooth structure you still have on either side.
Enhanced Durability
With proper care at home, a dental implant can last a lifetime, which makes it a cost-effective long-term solution for replacing a single missing tooth from your smile.
Bone Preservation
The titanium post stimulates your jawbone the way a natural root does, preventing the bone loss that gradually changes your entire facial structure as time passes.
The Process
Our Step-by-Step Process
From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.
Request an Appointment- 01
Consultation Planning
We evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and create a personalized plan for replacing your missing tooth as quickly as possible.
- 02
Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone, where it will serve as the root of your brand new tooth for many years to come.
- 03
Osseointegration Period
Over the following several months, the implant gradually fuses with your jawbone to form a strong and very stable foundation for the crown above.
- 04
Abutment Placement
An abutment is attached to the implant post, which serves as the connector between the implant and your final custom crown that goes on top.
- 05
Crown Placement
A custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, completing your restoration and returning full function to that part of your smile and your bite.
Is It Right for You?
Signs You May Need Single-Tooth Implant
Missing Tooth
You have one missing tooth and want a permanent replacement that will not affect any of the healthy teeth standing on either side of the space.
Adequate Bone
You have adequate bone density in your jaw to support an implant, or a bone graft can build up that foundation before the implant ever goes in.
Good Health
Your overall oral health is good, and you either avoid smoking altogether or are willing to quit for as long as the implant needs in order to heal.
Long-Term Solution
You have a fully developed jawbone and want a long-term tooth replacement rather than a removable appliance that has to come out each night.

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers
Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (310) 366-7666.
How long does the implant process take?
Osseointegration alone takes several months while the implant fuses with your jawbone. The full process from placement to final crown typically spans a few months.
Is an implant better than a bridge?
An implant does not require altering the adjacent teeth the way a bridge does. That preserves healthy tooth structure you would otherwise lose.
Am I too old for a dental implant?
There is no upper age limit for implants, provided your oral health and bone density are adequate. The jawbone does need to be fully developed, typically age 18 or older.
How much does a single-tooth implant in Gardena, CA, cost?
The cost depends on whether preparatory work such as bone grafting is needed and which crown material you choose. We offer all-inclusive pricing reviewed with you upfront.
Does insurance cover a single-tooth implant in Gardena, CA?
Coverage varies widely, and many plans cover the crown portion more readily than the implant itself. Our front office will verify your benefits and explain the details.
