Single Tooth Implant

Single tooth implant are a simple and long-lasting way to replace one missing tooth. The implant is placed in the jawbone and acts like a root. A crown is attached on top to match the rest of your teeth. It looks real, feels strong, and helps you chew normally. Over time, it also helps prevent bone loss in that area. Unlike a dental bridge, it doesn’t rely on or damage the tooth next to it.

Single Tooth Implant at Smilex

At Smilex, we start by checking your bone and gum health with a 3D scan. Then we plan the implant placement digitally to keep it precise and safe. If the bone is thin, we’ll talk to you about grafting options before starting.

Every case is handled step by step, with clear instructions and no pressure. We take time to make sure you're comfortable and know what to expect. We use trusted implant systems and custom-made crowns that match your natural teeth.

The process doesn’t involve cutting healthy tooth, which is often needed with a bridge. Healing is usually smooth with good care. We also schedule follow-ups to make sure everything is on track. The goal is to keep things simple, honest, and long-lasting.
