Replace a Missing Tooth with Precision

A single missing tooth can affect your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. A single-tooth dental implant provides a permanent, natural-looking replacement that restores both function and appearance. At Smiles of Fulshear, Dr. Tan Ngo uses advanced techniques to design and place implants that blend seamlessly with your natural smile, giving you lasting results you can trust.

What Is a Single-Tooth Implant? A Permanent Solution for Tooth Loss

A single-tooth implant replaces an individual missing tooth using a titanium post that is surgically anchored into the jawbone. Once healed, a custom crown is attached to the implant, creating a restoration that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.

Dr. Ngo takes a personalized approach, ensuring your implant matches the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, making them a healthier, more durable solution.

Benefits of a Single-Tooth Implant

Replacing a missing tooth with a single implant offers more than just cosmetic improvement. Implants preserve bone health, protect neighboring teeth, and provide unmatched durability. With proper care, they can last for decades, making them a long-term investment in your smile and oral health.

  • Natural appearance with a custom crown that matches your smile
  • Long-lasting durability thanks to integration with the jawbone
  • Preserve bone health by stimulating natural bone tissue
  • Protect surrounding teeth without the need for bridges
  • Restore full function for chewing, speaking, and smiling confidently
  • Consultation and Planning
    Dr. Ngo examines your oral health, takes digital scans, and discusses whether a single-tooth implant is right for you.
  • Implant Placement
    The titanium post is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia for comfort.
  • Healing Period
    Over the next several months, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable foundation.
  • Abutment Placement
    A small connector piece is added to the implant to hold the final crown securely in place.
  • Final Crown
    A custom-crafted crown is secured to the implant, completing your restoration with a natural look and feel.

The Single-Tooth Implant Process

The process of replacing a tooth with an implant is detailed and precise, but the results are worth it. From the initial consultation to the final crown, Dr. Ngo ensures every step is handled with care, giving you a restoration that feels secure and looks completely natural.

Caring for Your Single Implant

Once your implant is in place, caring for it is just like caring for a natural tooth. Daily brushing and flossing, along with routine visits, will keep your implant healthy and strong. With proper care, your implant can provide decades of confident smiles.

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss daily to protect gum health
  • Visit regularly for exams and cleanings
  • Avoid harmful habits like chewing ice or smoking
