Single Tooth Implants in West New York, NJ | Permanent Tooth Replacement

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is a standalone replacement for one missing tooth. It consists of three parts:

• Implant Post – A titanium screw placed into the jawbone, acting as a tooth root

• Abutment – A connector between the post and the crown

• Crown – A custom-made prosthetic tooth that mimics the look and function of your natural teeth

Unlike bridges, a single tooth implant doesn’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, making it a healthier and longer-lasting option.

“I thought a bridge was my only option. Dr. Patel recommended an implant, and now it’s like I never lost the tooth in the first place.” – Melinda G.

Why Choose a Single Dental Implant?

• Long-Lasting – Implants are designed to last 20+ years or longer with proper care

• Bone Preservation – Stimulate the jawbone to prevent bone loss

• Natural Appearance – Crown matches adjacent teeth in shape and color

• Independent Solution – No need to grind down healthy teeth

• Full Functionality – Restores natural chewing and speech

Are You a Candidate?

You may qualify for a single tooth implant if you:

• Are missing one tooth

• Have healthy gums

• Have enough bone (or are open to bone grafting)

• Don’t smoke or are willing to quit

• Want a long-term, natural solution

We’ll confirm your eligibility with 3D scans, a full evaluation, and a health history review.

Single Tooth Implants vs. Bridges

While both options replace missing teeth, single tooth implants and traditional bridges differ significantly in long-term benefits and impact on oral health. Single implants typically last over 20 years and help preserve the jawbone, while bridges may last 5 to 15 years and do not prevent bone loss. Implants do not require modification to surrounding teeth, keeping healthy teeth untouched. In contrast, bridges rely on adjacent teeth for support, which means filing down otherwise healthy teeth. Implants offer a more natural appearance and are cared for just like real teeth, whereas bridges may look less natural over time and need special cleaning tools.
