Learn how a single missing tooth can often be replaced with a streamlined implant process that gets you back to a complete smile faster than most people expect.
If you come in missing just a single tooth, the ideal solution is a single dental implant.
We start with a CT scan so I can evaluate the amount and quality of bone in the area. If everything looks good, the best approach is to place a one-piece implant and build a temporary tooth on it the same day. That way, you leave the office with a tooth in place.
After that, we take a digital scan of the implant and send it to the lab to fabricate your final crown. In about one to two weeks, you return for the final appointment, we seat the permanent crown, and the process is complete.
