Single Tooth Implants in Culver City, CA

REPLACE ONE MISSING TOOTH WITH AN IMPLANT-SUPPORTED RESTORATION

Replace a Missing Tooth With a Dental Implant

A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth without requiring neighboring teeth to support the restoration. The implant is placed within the jawbone to replace the missing root, while a custom dental crown restores the visible portion of the tooth.


At Dental Studio of Culver City, Dr. Daneshvar can evaluate the missing tooth area, surrounding teeth, gums, and available bone to determine whether an implant may be appropriate for you.

How Does a Single Tooth Implant Work?

A single tooth implant generally includes an implant post, an abutment, and a dental crown. The implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone and allowed time to integrate with the surrounding bone.


Once appropriate healing has occurred, the abutment connects the implant to a custom crown. Your treatment plan and timeline will depend on your oral health, available bone, and healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the parts of a single tooth implant?

    A single tooth implant generally has three main components. The implant post is placed within the jawbone, an abutment connects to the implant, and a custom dental crown forms the visible replacement tooth. Together, these components are designed to replace both the missing tooth root and the portion visible above the gums.

  • How long does a single tooth implant take?

    The complete process often takes several months because the implant needs time to integrate with the surrounding jawbone before the final crown is attached. Treatment time varies based on healing, bone availability, the location of the implant, and whether procedures such as bone grafting are needed before or during treatment.

  • Is a single tooth implant better than a dental bridge?

    Both dental implants and bridges can replace a missing tooth, but they work differently. A single implant is supported by the jawbone and does not require neighboring teeth to support the replacement. A bridge relies on adjacent teeth. Your dentist can recommend an option based on your oral health, preferences, and treatment needs.

  • Can I get an implant immediately after a tooth extraction?

    An implant can sometimes be placed at the time of an extraction, but immediate placement is not appropriate in every situation. Factors such as available bone, the condition of the extraction site, infection, and overall oral health need to be evaluated. Your dentist can determine the appropriate timing for your implant placement.

  • How do I care for a single tooth implant?

    Care for your implant-supported crown with consistent brushing, cleaning between the teeth, and recommended dental appointments. Although the replacement crown cannot develop a cavity, the tissues surrounding the implant still require proper care. Routine examinations also allow your dentist to monitor the implant, restoration, gums, bite, and surrounding bone.
